One of my favorite questions I ask students in a self-introduction exercise is "What is your favorite history topic?"
While a lot of students just reflect back what the class covers, it's interesting to see what idiosyncratic stuff some of the students say.

Christ. We all suspected this. But the narcissistic cockalorum actually put his “if you don’t give me the Peace Prize I’ll start waging wars” threat in writing.
The petulant pillock is literally ready to kill people because he didn’t get his Special Prize.

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“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”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

People hated Trump before, and they were going to hate him again for all of the obvious reason.
not only was this predictable from the moment he took office, it should have been expected. and yet a constellation of “serious” and “savvy” observers insisted that we were living through a realignment

It's also literally a war on their voters, and they can't muster more than mild concern.
Democrats message on ICE should be very simple: they will not fund Trump’s war on the American people. They will not fund a lawless assault on our cities, our neighbors or our rights. They will not fund the murder of legal observers.
Instead, we get this horseshit.

Hakeem Jeffries: "Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself. ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize American citizens and to unnecessarily and viciously target law-abiding immigrant families and communities."
