History Facts: ”…the Norwegian Nobel Committee is not the same thing as the Norwegian government, and neither of them is Denmark… Trump did not, in fact, end eight wars… Greenland has been Danish for centuries… many “written documents” establish Danish sovereignty there… Trump has done nothing for NATO…”

”In just a year…Trump has torn apart the work that took almost a century…to build. Since World War II, generations of world leaders…created an international order designed to prevent future world wars. They worked out rules to defend peoples…from the aggressions of neighboring countries, and tried to guarantee that global trade…would create a rising standard of living that would weaken the ability of demagogues to create loyal followings.”

“The post–World War II rules-based international order prevents authoritarians from grabbing land and resources that belong to other countries. But…Putin, for example, is eager to dismantle NATO and complete his grab of Ukraine’s eastern industrial regions. Trump has taken the side of rising autocrats and taken aim at the rules-based international order…”

“Trump’s increasing frenzy is likely coming at least in part from increasing pressure over the fact the Department of Justice is now a full month past the date it was required by law to release all of the Epstein files. Another investigation will be in the news as well, as former special counsel Jack Smith testifies publicly later this week about Trump’s role in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.”

“Trump’s fury over the Nobel Peace Prize last night was likely fueled as well by the national celebration today of an American who did receive that prize: the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. The Nobel Prize Committee awarded King the prize in 1964 for his nonviolent struggle for civil rights for the Black population in the U.S. … Trump did not acknowledge Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year.”

“…[Stephen] Miller is erasing the genius of the generations before us. It is not the U.S. that has kept the world safe and kept standards of living rising: it is our alliances and the cooperation of the strongest nations in the world, working together, to prevent wannabe dictators from dividing the world among themselves.”
