The thing about what’s going on in the US right now is everyone is distracted that Trump can get away with seemingly anything before anyone notices enough to look up from their video game play.
But, occasionally, something does break through and usually it’s because of one thing: it’s simple.
It’s simple enough that the late night talk show hosts can make a joke about it without any explanation.
Trump wants to take over Greenland through force because he didn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize — how much more simple can it get?
I don’t think that anything is going to really happen — at least in the United States — because of these Greenland-Nobel Prize shenanigans on Trump’s part, but I do think it’s going to leave a little bit of a mark.
People will couch things that happen later in terms of, “well at least Trump isn’t starting a war because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace prize.”
The issue is that it’s still up to the Europeans to do something about Trump. The US is “Trumplandia” now so, lulz, we can’t do anything. But if the Europeans don’t blink, then that just MIGHT have some sort of political consequences for Trump in some shape or form.
