I'm seeing some people calling for the President's Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which lets the VP become Acting President if the President "is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." This is a foolish idea. Here's why.
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
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”
We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements.
Over and over and over.

Let’s discuss steps to rebuild a more united and respectful America.
1. Combat Contempt: Engage in conversations with empathy and openness, striving to understand opposing viewpoints without resorting to hostility or judgment. This helps create a more constructive and positive dialogue.
2. Promote Mutual Respect: Treat others with dignity, even in disagreement. Acknowledge the humanity in everyone, and refrain from dehumanizing or demonizing those with different opinions.
3. Foster Understanding: Participate in community dialogues to bridge divides. Involve yourself in local forums, discussions, and initiatives aimed at increasing mutual understanding and cooperation among diverse groups.
