His message to Denmark makes it clear that this is a toddler’s temper tantrum, and that giving in will only make things worse:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“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”

Lunacy. This reads like an unhinged drunk idiot making a rambling post on reddit. It is not fit to be a letter from one nation’s leader to another.
Everyday…
“how is this real?”
How in the holy shitballs is Trump the person roughly 30% of the US voters thought was best suited to lead the country, out of a population of over 340 million.
This message sounds like a fucking primary school kid got the assignment “Write a letter as the president”
I’m guessing 30% of Americans think that the king of Norway mints Nobel prizes in Greenland?
Even worse, since he sent the letter to the wrong fucking country that has nothing to do with Greenland except being a NATO member state.
So…we have a butthurt CHILD in the office. Great. Sure beats actual statecraft, I guess.
“As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have on several occasions clearly explained to Trump what is well known, namely that it is an independent Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government, that awards the prize,” Mr. Store said.
