Trump wants to invade Greenland because another country's prize committee didn't give him a peace award.

“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,” he said, adding he could now “think about what is good and proper” for the US.

Couldn't he just do peace-y things for a year and cross his fingers?
