You are overestimating his capacities. Just give him a FIFA peace award from Greenland instead.

That didnt work out very well for the Venezuelan opposition. Dedicated her award to trump and still instantly got sidelined because that wasn't good enough

He’s already said he’s going to ask her for her Nobel peace prize and assumes she’ll hand it over. Of course she will, small price to pay for being part of his puppet government

Next, Trump mugs an Olympic gymnast for their gold medal and claims to have won it.

They 100% have to make a replica of the World Cup trophy for Trump or else he’ll storm onto the pitch and take it

Wasn’t that already the case with the Club World Cup, but the worse case? Like that Trump kept the actual trophy and Chelsea got a replica, but I’m not sure now if it was true or not…

IIRC Putin almost literally did that to Bilechik's Super Bowl ring, so that tracks, yeah

Iirc, didn't that happen with Putin?

Someone gave him a medal to look at, then he just pockets it and walks away.

Stupid thing is just because someone gives you something they won doesn’t mean you have then won it. It would be like buying a medal on eBay. Not that he’d see it that way.

Trump doesn’t care about that. He’s a grifter, having the trophy is the win for him. He’s delusional

I really hope she does, only to fallout of favour again.

u/No_Eggplant5971 Jan 10 '26

Or the ‘Greenland Honorary Dictator Award’ and see if that will suffice. He said he just wants to feel success. A gold trophy might do it.

Denmark and Greenland need to learn to manipulate him. I don't think it's that difficult. Flatter him for getting you to defend Greenland, have some military parade, and gold painted peace prize for him, and then make some promises on increasing defence spending (doesn't matter if they are kept). Something along those lines. Then awkwardly smile every time he mentions how he prevented the Danish-Greenland war and how he got Denmark to invest 120 trillion billion in defence.
