If we survive the next decade in a tolerable state of global well-being, we will look back on the second Trump administration with a mix of relief and incredulity; relief that the world survived and incredulity over Donald Trump’s behaviour.
Just how did we come to have a man with his finger on the nuclear button threatening to invade and occupy part of a NATO member state? Not only that, but Trump claims his desire for the US to have “complete and total control of Greenland” – a semi-autonomous Danish territory – was fuelled by the duplicitous behaviour of the Norwegian people in refusing what was rightfully his: the Nobel Peace Prize.
(As Norway’s prime minister has pointed out, the country’s government does not decide who gets the peace prize.)
