WH demands Nobel Foundation note Trump's 'unprecedented accomplishments' | New York Post

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON — White House Communications Director Steven Cheung on Sunday demanded the Nobel Foundation at least highlight President Trump’s “unprecedented accomplishments” if he can’t be gifted its peace prize."

 

If the Nobel committee doesn't comply with Trump, he can impose 50% tariff on Norway until it finally complies.

If it still doesn't, he can invade and occupy Norway until it finally gives him a Nobel Peace Prize.

MAGA’s vision of a Second Civil War dangerously misreads America’s fragmented political geography | Milwaukee Independent

excerpt:

However, their comparison to the first Civil War is historically and structurally flawed. A modern American civil war would not resemble the geographic simplicity of North versus South. Instead, it would be a fragmented, chaotic, and deeply internalized conflict that would devastate communities from within.

The Civil War of 1861 was primarily a conflict between organized state governments. Eleven Southern states seceded from the Union to create the Confederate States of America with a unified military and political leadership.

Battle lines were clearly drawn along state boundaries, and while divided loyalties existed within some regions, the basic conflict remained territorial. The Confederate and Union forces fought pitched battles, occupied territory, and maintained formal governmental structures throughout the war.

In contrast, the political and cultural divisions of 2025 are not cleanly separated by state borders. Every state, no matter how strongly Republican or Democratic, contains significant populations of both pro-Trump and anti-Trump citizens.

The Second American Civil War Is Already Here - WhoWhatWhy

excerpt:

"In order to punish anybody who doesn’t support him, Trump is (ab)using his presidential powers in ways that are unprecedented, and he has demonstrated that he will use any tool, legal or illegal, to punish his opponents.

He wants to starve blue states into submission by withholding federal funds; his Department of Justice has become a purely political operation; and, of course, he is using an unaccountable paramilitary force to terrorize communities that voted against him (while also itching to use the actual army that he has at his disposal against Americans)."

 

Trump is gullible enough to believe what the government of Iran tells him.

excerpt:

"Greenland is an autonomous territory that is part of Denmark. “I am pleased with the consistent messages from the rest of the continent: Europe will not be blackmailed,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was quoted as saying Sunday."

 

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/18/bessent-national-emergency-tarriffs-00735660

excerpt:

"Trump on Saturday announced he had imposed new tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland. The rate was 10 percent, though it could increase to 25 percent on June 1 if Greenland is not yet under American control."

 

The national emergency ploy again.

Scott Bessent: The national emergency is avoiding a national emergency.


https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/18/bessent-national-emergency-tarriffs-00735660

excerpt:

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that the national emergency that
justified the announcement of new tariffs on eight European nations is that there would be a national emergency if tariffs were not implemented.

“The national emergency is avoiding a national emergency,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “It is a strategic decision by the president. This is a geopolitical decision. And he is able to use the economic might of the U.S. to avoid a hot war. So why wouldn’t we do that.”

 

Because there is no hot war to avoid in the first place.

 

If Trump annexes Greenland, he will want a Nobel Peace Prize because he thinks it will make the world safer.

Then he will annex Norway for not giving him a Nobel Peace Prize.

 

Trump’s claims of vast presidential powers run up against Article 2 of the Constitution and exceed previous presidents’ power grabs

excerpt:

The administration has now surpassed what even the strongest proponents of presidential power may have once argued. Trump adviser Stephen Miller has said, “All executive power is vested in the one man elected by the whole nation. No unelected bureaucrat has any ‘independent’ authority.”

Can Trump Really Use the Insurrection Act?
An expert on Presidential emergency powers discusses the history and legality of military deployments in American cities.

Can Trump Really Use the Insurrection Act?

excerpt:

The other point that I want to make is that if the military were being deployed to try to bring ICE under control, that would be one thing. That’s not the purpose. The purpose of deploying the military here would be to enable the violence and lawlessness that we’re seeing from ICE. And so even if the military itself is not engaging in these kinds of destructive actions, it is there to insure that ICE is able to do so. It would serve in that way as a force amplifier for ICE.

 

Well, as he has so often demonstrated, he can do what the fuck he pleases.

 

Trump says that now that he hasn't been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, he is no longer obligated to be peaceful. That supposedly justifies taking Greenland from Denmark.


Donald Trump Links Greenland Threat To Nobel Peace Prize Snub

excerpt:

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

“Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

“I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

 

Time to invoke the 25th amendment. He's loony as fucking ever, especially after his obvious stroke.
