European officials are mocking 'child' Trump with meme of Norway letter written in crayon

President Donald Trump has become the butt of the latest joke all across Europe, Global affairs analyst Kimberly Dozier told CNN.
Overnight, Trump sent a letter to the Norwegian prime minister that appeared to link his Greenland aspirations to his failure to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
"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," Trump wrote.
Norway has made it clear that the Nobel committee decides the award, not the Norwegian government.
Separately, Trump told NBC News in a phone interview that “Norway totally controls [the prize] despite what they say.”
Dozier told CNN that in Europe, Trump is being mocked as a child throwing a fit.
"In Europe, this is being seen as one more temper tantrum. There's a meme going around with Trump's letter to the Norwegian prime minister, but written out in crayon," she said.
"It's just one more sign that they think he's acting like a child and they don't know how to reason with the child," she added. "You know, you can't exactly give the president of the United States a time-out, and you can see the Norwegian committee is not likely either to ever give him a prize, no matter what he does, because nobody likes being told what to do."
