I don't think Americans has even a remote clue about how angry Europeans are with them. And people here are very clear about this being an American problem, not just a Trump problem.

Greetings from the Nordic Countries 😉
The northern lights could be visible much farther south than usual Monday night. Here's where you might have a chance to see them, and what's causing the display. nyti.ms/49vwbS6
Northern Lights Could Be Visible Across Much of the U.S. Tonight
A severe solar storm could produce a visible show from Alabama to Northern California.

Because Greenland is near to the Nordic countries, they sailed off and arrived 986 AD.

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

Time for some "Francisco Goya"?
#ResistanceRoots
Artist Wefail has created an image of Trump devouring America in a reimagination of Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son. Goya’s painting is one of a group of 14 works known as the Black Paintings, which were created during a period of extreme psychological distress. /1

Personally I suspect we are one doctor's visit away from "Bye bye Trump".
In case the algorithm hasn’t delivered this to you yet, Donald Trump wrote a truly insane message to the Norwegian, Prime Minister, and here it is. The entire Republican Party is still lockstep with this guy.

Divorce
For many European governments, Donald Trump’s threat of punitive tariffs against anyone who tries to stop him taking Greenland was the final straw in their failing relationship with the U.S.
Divorce, they believe, is now inevitable.

Trump’s Greenland threats push Europe toward divorcing America
With NATO thrown into question, some officials see the “coalition of the willing” as the basis for a new alliance without the U.S.

Deranged mob boss if true
What an absolute embarrassment!
Trump has penned a deranged letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, citing the Nobel Committee’s decision to not award him the Nobel Peace Prize as the primary reason for him wanting to acquire Greenland from Denmark.

Yellow = true
Just as Trump cannot understand how tariffs really work, he cannot understand Mercator projections on maps. He thinks Greenland is larger than the Continental U.S.

Pretty telling that Trump thinks that Norway’s Prime Minister can just bully the Nobel committee’s choice. He really believes to be a leader is inherently to be a crime boss.

Hostility
Macron is pushing for the strongest response to Trump: triggering the EU's anti-coercion instrument, originally designed to fend off states hostile to the EU.
This would allow the EU to impose retaliatory tariffs on the US, limit US investment & trade with Europe & restrict access to the SM.

Science is threatening
The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.
The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets.
We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

I don't think they care, but still interesting
This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.

Wait - I thought Trump already pulled all the support: He is SELLING the weapons Ukraine needs to Europe. He is selling/sharing Ukrainian intelligence with Russia. What's to lose?
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is now making an explicit link between the US desire to annex Greenland and the continuation of US support for Ukraine.
"What would happen in Ukraine if the US pulled its support out? The whole thing would collapse," Bessent told Meet The Press.

Make America Go Away? 🙄
While we throw up barriers and initiate trade wars and unnecessary diplomatic crises around the world, other countries and trading blocs continue to strengthen ties to hedge against an unreliable US partner. This is generational self-inflicted long-term damage.

This is the textbook description of how you create anti-government partisan fighters.
Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

I guess this will happen to Greenlanders too, if mr T can't keep his greedy little fingers away
Mind-boggling stuff: ICE has detained 4 Oglala men and is apparently demanding the Lakota--a nation of the continent's original inhabitants--“enter into an immigration agreement with ICE." www.twincities.com/2026/01/13/i...
Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention
The detained tribal members are experiencing homelessness and living under a bridge in Minneapolis.

Who holds the cards?
[1/6] A reminder: Europe has cards to use against the US. Lots of them.
To cite some examples:
- Tighten screws on US digital giants (taxes, fines, even bans)
- Export taxes disrupting US supply chains eg pharma
- Exclude US firms from European procurement, inc defence
