Former Trump aide on threatening allies over Greenland: 'Mentally ill, deranged'

(The Hill) A former aide to President Trump from his first term, who broke with the White House over its handling of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack at the Capitol, on Tuesday berated his push to annex Greenland.

“Yeah, I don’t say this lightly. I think this might be the most mentally ill, deranged thing that Donald Trump has done to date, to be threatening our allies and wanting to go to war, potentially over Greenland, when his reasoning doesn’t even make sense,” former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews said during a Tuesday appearance MS NOW’s “The Weeknight.”

“He says we need Greenland because Russia and China will take over Greenland if we don’t. But then he invites [Russian President] Vladimir Putin to sit on his [Gaza] Board of Peace. Make it make sense for me because it doesn’t make any sense,” she added.
