I've been thinking: Trump won't settle for less than Greenland unless it's the Nobel Peace Price. So... why not give it to him but with caveats? E.g. It will be presented to him in an extraordinary pompous celebration (to tickle his ego) but will remain in Norway until the day of the end of Trump's presidency. He will receive it again on that day, and can keep it!, in another majestic ceremony.
It'd be interesting to see what trump would do if the Nobel committee promised to give him a peace prize if he stopped all tariffs and gave up on greenland (or better yet, if he resigned).
Because every other agreement we have made with him on tariffs or Ukraine, every other appeasement, has done nothing to sway him from his actual course.
Contrary to popular thinking (and it is a nicer fantasy), he is not an inconsistent, emotionally manipulated short-termist with no attention-span.
He is actually smarter than we thought (or wanted to think) OR someone actually is a bona-fide Trump whisperer.
His main foreign policy aims and beliefs seem remarkably fixed.
All of this to say, no further appeasement. No need to completely undermine the Nobel peace price also for 5 minutes of respite, he will literally be back to this within a fortnight.
