By now you’ve likely seen the message Donald Trump sent the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre—and if you haven’t, congratulations on avoiding this dumpster fire. There’s still time to turn away.

As reported in The New York Times (gift link) and seemingly everywhere else:

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

Most of the coverage treats the message “seriously,” by which I mean “worthy of consideration” rather than as the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind. Instead they parse, fact check, and contextualize it, giving his words greater weight and meaning than exists—or deserves. A few, like Anne Applebaum’s piece in The Atlantic (Apple News+ link), recognize the message as yet another sign of Trump’s cognitive break from reality and continuing inability to perform the role of president.

I can’t get over the immaturity of the writing.

It’s juvenile, muddled, bombastic, and utterly, utterly incoherent. Yes, it’s factually inaccurate (his knowledge is at the summarizing-the-CliffsNotes level), but worse is there’s no logic, no nuance, and absolutely no consideration of the real world.

It’s a dictated first draft, sent with the self-satisfied smugness of someone who spent his entire life pretending to be smart while surrounding himself with people who coddled him and sane-washed his words—and now refuses to let anyone edit his “brilliance.” It’s pure cosplay, an attempt to emulate how serious people communicate, but with insufficient intellectual heft and mastery of language to compose a persuasive, well-reasoned paragraph that goes beyond “I believe therefore I’m right.”

This message exposes many of Trump’s worst flaws: limited knowledge, incurious, self-delusional, transactional, self-centered. It reads like that of a man who never advanced—intellectually, socially, morally—beyond high school.

High schoolers would scoff at Trump’s simplistic, disjointed, egotistical writing—as should we all.
