Trump’s bizarre letter to Norway’s prime minister in full as President links Greenland threat to Nobel Prize snub

I too caught that letter.

It's like something written by someone who's in a small cosy room with padding on the walls!!

Trump’s bizarre letter to Norway’s prime minister in full as President links Greenland threat to Nobel Prize snub

Talk about emotionally impulsive and rhetorically immature.
 

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

It's like a teenage breakup letter ffs.

I'm apt to ponder Trump needs to go back to school.

I think it's a safe bet to suggest it's full of ego, grievance, and black-and-white thinking.

As opposed to any sort of diplomacy or adult statecraft.

Does the fella not have a secretary?

So why there would be any sort of vote in Congress or the Senate is beyond me.

Because the congress has to agree to any deal before it can be officially put forward to Greenland.

The problem being Denmark's government and the Greenlanders don't want a deal.

And have you seen Trump's latest love note? 

Normal people don't write like that Flyers.

Im apt to ponder a trip to Walter Reed's in order for another one of those tests Trump keeps on passing with flying colours.

So far, yes.  And probably won't want to accept one in the future.
But that doesn't change the fact that for an official deal to be offered
congress has to approve of it.  That's why there would have to be a 
vote.    I was answering your question as to why congress would 
be voting.   They have to approve of the deal before it's offered.
(at least, that's how I understand it).   And for each official offer,
it would have to be approved first so there would be a vote.
(I think).  

Nothing wrong with making multiple offers and changing the offer.
That's negotiating.    The only thing wrong would be if they say 
'no' and it is forced upon them.   But to keep offering is fine.
It's what happens in negotiations and politics.   (I"m sure they'll
keep saying 'no' to each offer.)

Cheers for the explanation.

Im apt to ponder it's a waste of time and resources.

Accept, obviously, there are ulterior motives in play.

Trump if youre reading this just flippin do it. Send in the armadour and take Greenland. Denmark and its couple of tug boats won't stop you. French and the Krauts are taken up funding the neo colonial neo Nazi eastwars expansion into the FSU Ukraine after deposing the legal governmant in a Newlands Maccain cookie bar coup and replacing them with a junta run from the diamond Quarter in Tel Aviv. 

Just send in te military and then get the job done. Forget saving the world Iraq Afghan style wars. Do it for your nation. Its the right thing to do and your technology is light years ahead of anything the EU can put up in defence. 

Al that will happen if the EU retains control is a general suppression of the economy off shoring the jobs to China leading to dislocation / destruction of age old communities, sickening socialism whereby everyone gets to work for the state of rely on state benefits, coupled with a mass invasion of towel heads from the 3rd World. no good can come of leeting things continue as they are, save Greenland from this future living hell
