President Donald Trump called Norway "foolish" for not awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize just days after he launched an attack on Venezuela and took its leader into custody.
In a Wednesday post on Truth Social, Trump took credit for forcing NATO countries to increase their military spending.
"Everyone said that couldn't be done, but it could, because, beyond all else, they are all my friends," he wrote. "Without my involvement, Russia would have ALL OF UKRAINE right now."
"Remember, also, I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble [sic] Peace Prize," continued. "But that doesn't matter! What does matter is that I saved Millions of Lives."
"RUSSIA AND CHINA HAVE ZERO FEAR OF NATO WITHOUT THE UNITED STATES, AND I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM. EVERYONE IS LUCKY THAT I REBUILT OUR MILITARY IN MY FIRST TERM, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO."
Trump concluded by promising that the U.S. would "always be there for NATO, even if they won't be there for us" — even as he has expressed new desires to take control of Greenland.
