President Donald Trump’s letter to Norway’s prime minister led social media critics and political foes to demand Trump’s removal from office, with many arguing he is not fit to serve.
In the letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Trump linked his stance on annexing Greenland to his outrage over not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize, numerous news outlets reported. Gahr Støre confirmed the authenticity of the letter in a statement, according to reports.
The reported letter stated, in part: “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.”

“The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland,” the letter concluded.
The letter was first reported by PBS. It comes after Trump has complained for months about not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize and has repeatedly mused about taking over Greenland — a territory owned by NATO member country Denmark.
Social media exploded over the reported letter, with many calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to remove Trump from office. Under the 25th Amendment, the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet could vote to remove a president who is “unable to fulfill duties.”
The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson said on X that Trump‘s “new gigantic temper tantrum over Norway is deep into 25th Amendment territory.” He said at this point, the 25th Amendment “is far in the rearview mirror and we are descending further into madness by the moment.”

Democratic strategist Chris D. Jackson said that the letter was “impeachable.”
“The guy is simply too unstable to be president,” he added.
Political commentator Ed Krassenstein described the letter as “insane.”

“This is why you don’t elect a narcissist to be your president. Is this what you voted for, Trump’s supporters?” he wrote on X.
Democratic activist Shannon Watts posted: “This is what the 25TH F---ING AMENDMENT IS FOR.”
“Trump’s insane new threat leaves no doubt: it’s time for the 25th Amendment,” political analyst Molly Ploofkins posted.
Many other users just questioned Trump’s mental acuity in the wake of the letter.

“He’s going to invade Greenland because he wasn’t given the Nobel Peace Prize. The world is being held hostage by a deranged, tantrum throwing toddler with nukes,” democratic activist Melanie D’Arrigo wrote.
New Jersey Sen. Andy Kim (D) said the letter was “unhinged and embarrassing, but also incredibly dangerous.”
“Trump is doing lasting damage to our global position, which will harm our ability to keep America safe, secure, and prosperous,” Kim said on X.
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said: “These are the ramblings of a man who has lost touch with reality. He isn’t ok. He’s degraded significantly in the last year and he’s about to get us into a war with our allies.”

Trump has toyed with the idea of acquiring Greenland for the U.S. since his first term and has repeatedly brought up the idea during his second term. His renewed interest in Greenland came days after the U.S. launched a military operation in Venezuela to remove leader Nicolás Maduro from power.
Trump has not ruled out using military force to take over Greenland despite many experts warning it will undermine U.S.’s relationship with NATO countries.
Trump’s letter to Gahr Støre appears to ratchet up a standoff between Washington and its closest allies over his threats to take over Greenland, a self-governing territory of NATO member Denmark. On Saturday, Trump announced a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from eight nations that have rallied around Denmark and Greenland, including Norway. |
