Donald Trump wants to invade Greenland because he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize and no-one nails it – and him – better than Emily Maitlis
No end of words being spoken about Donald Trump right now, as the world waits to see if he really is going to invade Greenland or whether he will turn his attention back to Canada or somewhere entirely new – the Falkland Islands, maybe?
But in all the world of analysis no-one puts it better than the estimable Emily Maitlis, formerly of Newsnight of course and now co-host of the NewsAgents podcast with Jon Sopel.
And it’s a minute or two exceptionally well spent.
"It's the kind of thing batshit commentators might have invented – ' ."

Nailed it.

We are clearly not talking about diplomacy anymore. The letter he wrote is real and it is insane. Even for a dictator. pic.twitter.com/kwJdElxokg

Or just listen to Mary Trump, his niece, who's a clinical psychologist and has been warning about his psychopathology for years.

Spot on! Europeans know he’s nuts. The American People must take control of our government. Impeach!

‘There’s no point journalists speaking to former diplomats to understand Trump; they need to be talking to psychotherapists’@maitlis

Even SNL couldn't have created this skit. It's beyond surreal.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and another country will abduct Trump and drop him in the middle of the ocean.
