The only thing more unhinged than Trump threatening war over a Nobel snub is the Republican cabinet too cowardly to declare him the clear and present danger he has become.
Critics warn Trump impeachment is 'not enough' — urge '25th Amendment' removal
President Donald Trump’s latest shot across the bow—a letter to the Prime Minister of Norway that critics say carries an implied threat of war over Greenland following his failure to receive the Nobel Peace Prize — has once again prompted calls for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from offi...

Trump somehow more honest than Vance on this. He agrees they should kill for disrespect!
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
