Every single 12 year old I know is more emotionally mature than the US president and it isn't even close.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Aside from the horrible implications of this letter. Can we address his writing style? For a man who was educated at the insitutions he attended, he sure doesn't show it. I know we are accustomed to reading his tweets, but Jesus Christ this is embarassing.
It appears he is just dictating letters to heads of state and not even having anyone give it a once over before slapping it on the white house letterhead and sending it.
These are the meandering thoughts of a lunatic.
I'd assume he "graduated" because of his father's donations being tied to his graduation, not due to academic prowess
He has the writing style of a small sociopathic child with a severe head injury.
Oh, he's saying it's THEIR FAULT he doesn't want peace anymore?
an WE were the snowflakes who wanted a prize for everything
"DON'T MAKE ME HIT YOU!"
{smack}
"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE MADE ME DO!"
Have you won a Nobel? Neither have I- we both started 0 wars, and ended 0. (Score (0/0)
Henry Kissenger got his for negotiating the end of the Vietnam war- a war he had a part in begining and maintaining. Likewise with Arafat and Rabin's 94 award for the Oslo accords- despite being partisans. (1/1) each, arguably more for kissenger, like 20/1
Well, DJ's record proves it- hes ended 8+ wars! but as of the most recent award, had started 0, for a score of (0/8) And that didn't get him a peace prize. Clearly the ONLY way to get a peace prize is to not only end wars, but to start wars so they can be ended.
This is an oversite on his part which he is seeking to rectify in both Venezuela and Greenland, and hes notifying the government of Norway to ensure future recognition
After all, from the committee's perspective it makes sense; if too many people end wars they didnt start, eventually, we'll run out of wars and then there will be no more wars for people to end, and the Nobel peace prize committee will be out of a job!
I've known six year old children to have more maturity than this. "I'm going to invade Greenland because I didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize" is what this boils down to.
A literal child is in charge of the most powerful single country in the world.
Plus the fat paedo would've still done the exact same thing even if they 'awarded' it to him. It's all distraction and projection.
Quick someone tell him no other president in history has ever immolated themselves. We might get lucky.
The fact that any person reads this letter and thinks: "Wow, he is such a good diplomat, I am glad this man is in charge!" deeply troubles me.
This is some third grader shit.
Every day his stupidity surprises me more than the last.
The only correct response is "WE DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH PEDOPHILES", then refuse all communications with the Trump regime. Narcissists are empowered with attention and recognition, so deny them both. Trump and the entire Republican Nazi party will never relinquish power, and will not be neutralised without violence. The Democrat parties majority are financed by the exact same criminally corrupt psychopath elite; they did not release the files either, to protect their wealthy pedophile donors. They are a controlled opposition who have consistently blocked or delayed legitimate progress whenever they've had full control.
The goal should be to implode America's domestic economy ASAP so the average American suffers the consequences of their own ignorant imperial boomerang and, hopefully, does something about it; containing future violence within US borders. Isolate them and let them deal with the consequences while their cancerous influence is purged from our own economies and politics.
But... all our political classes are also oligarch-financed-bootlickers who grovel at the feet of capital, so they'll continue to protect and defend nazis, pedophiles, psychopaths, narcissists, and authoritarianism, in general— allow their continued corporate-oligarch infiltration and corruption of our democracies — on behalf of their own greed and egomania in service to the almighty dollar.
I have zero doubt multiple EU members have copies of the files, and have known Trump is an intelligence-protected pedo for longer than he's been politically relevant. Late stage capitalist oligarchy is one big club of unlimited greed and narcissism, and we ain't in it.
LOL, that's the pettiest shit I've ever read.
Keep expectations low, he'll probably beat the pettiness within a few weeks. Just describing the current president of the US. If this was the 90s it'd be an SNL skit, in 2026 it's just just accurate.
Aside from the actual message he is sending, this level of English is what I would expect from a 7 year old.
It's the level his voters understand
The fuck is the Norwegian prime minister to do with that load of shit? He's not even on the committee.
Apparently Trump doesn't even know what the fuck the Nobel prize is.
From what the various people who have explained to him how it works says, it seems that he does know.
He just doesn't understand why the Norwegian government won't be corrupt and influence it, because to him that's an obvious thing you'd do when you have power and influence.
Remember that Trump doesn't care about rules. He thinks that any leader has absolute power within the territory they control. So he thinks the prime minister of Norway should have personally ensured that Trump received the Nobel peace prize.

Is this a real picture, who is that giving him what?
Definitely not a real picture. This is Milli Vanilli, who won a grammy in 1990 for best new group. They were then caught lipsyncing and it turned out their recorded songs were sung by different people too. One of the members passed away in 1998 of an overdose.
After the child rapist in chief is dead (hopefully, soon), does anyone in that shit country expect we take them seriously when they talk to the world after the complete shitshow Mango Hitler is doing?
I mean, this is something I expect from a toddler that has zero negotiation skills but not from the fucking president of a superpower.
If he was the president of a less armed country, the world would be laughing at him openly
As someone (unfortunately) in the US, I fully expect the reputation of the US to be ruined for the rest of my life. I'm lucky to be in a decently progressive (by US standards) state, but I really would rather be anywhere but here in the US. We are fucked.
He thinks he stopped 8 wars? Which 8 wars?
He stopped them so early you haven't even heard of them! /s
He takes credit for any skirmishes that subsided during his presidency even when he had nothing to do with them. And he hallucinates a few too.
His latest addition to his list of wars "ended" is the two-year conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The other seven were between Israel and Iran, Pakistan and India, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.
Most of these were few day long conflicts. Egypt and Ethiopia were not in war, they had decate long disagreement about a damn, and USA helped to mediate it. By my understandment Trump was not even part of the mediation.
Also if these count then he should say he has ended 9 wars because the military situation in Venezuela ended in few hours.
Trump saying he stopped wars is like me saying i saved a childs live today when i decited to not kill them.
They live in Canada, you wouldn't know them.
If you don't give me a peace prize I'm going to give you a reason to not give me a peace prize
I'm not sure it's even possible for me to cringe harder at this point
Trump is such a fucking loser
?? the Nobel prize is a Swedish prize? And he writes to a Norwegian politician about Greenland, belonging to Denmark? Did I get this right?
The peace prize is awarded by a Norwegian committee, the other prizes are awarded by Swedish committees.
Fucking insanity as he tries to outdo himself in being fucking outrageous EVERY DAMN DAY to the point of not only pissing off everyone, but also giving others something to be entertained about... I can only imagine the laughter coming out of Kremlin.
Norway. The country which once managed to destroy a brand-new enemy battleship with guns and torpedoes never used in decades.
Glancing over the rest of the comments, I don't see somebody explicitly pointing out how we know Trump is full of shit and also dumb as shit in this letter.
First, he campaigned on "America First," so he never felt an obligation to think "purely" of peace. It's just a lie.
Second, he's outright saying that he previously was giving the Nobel Prize committee an insane amount of control over American foreign policy because he wanted to be a Nobel Peace Prize. This is a dumb as shit thing to admit.
Third, is it Russia or China who we're worried about taking over Greenland? Does Trump not understand that these are two different countries? Surely if he is working on some sort of intel, he'd specifically choose one of them to be worried about. I think this demonstrates that there's no real intel about this, and he's simply lying.
Fourth, why isn't he waiting until Russia or China actually do something? If they actually did something militarily in Greenland, then America could swoop in and save the day. And then, he'd also have some actual reasoning behind statements that he could use to justify taking control of Greenland.
Also, NATO has done tons of stuff for the US. Why does America have the largest military budget in the world? It's because America has chosen to maintain military presence all over the world. NATO has always supported American foreign policy.
Everything Trump is saying in this letter reeks of bullshit.
That sounds a lot like a manipulative abusive husband. Oh wait he literally is.
