A text message sent from the PMs of Norway and Finland to Donald Trump:

"Dear Mr president, dear Donald –on the contact across the Atlantic – on Greenland, Gaza, Ukraine – and your tariff announcement yesterday. You know our position on these issues. But we believe we all should work to take this down and de-escalate – so much is happening around us where we need to stand together. We are proposing a call with you later today – with both of us or separately – give us a hint of what you prefer! Best – Alex and Jonas."

----

Trump's response:

“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”

Did you not reverse the order.

Donald said the first thing, then Jonas and Alex responded with the second?

The Guardian claims that Norway/Finland sent their message first, and Trump responded less than 30 minutes later.

You are correct. I checked the original source (again) that the guardian cited. I had misread it the first time around (VG is a paper I check every day). Sorry about that :).

Hah, no problem.

Might be time for me to find an apartment outside of a major population center/military target, I think.

Even if you want to ague that Trump is just engaging in some Art of the Deal hardball negotiations to further US interests, the whole "you didn't give me the Peace Prize and I'm really upset about that" part doesn't exactly give off alpha male vibes.
