Proposal For Barron Trump To Marry Danish Princess Isabella Goes Viral

Amid US President Donald Trump's recent push to annex Greenland, social media users have floated the idea of a marriage between Barron Trump, 19, and Denmark's Princess Isabella, 18, to ease the tensions. Since Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, internet users have joked that the proposed alliance would help avoid any military takeover or monetary deals.

"The simple diplomatic solution is Barron Trump marries Princess Isabella of Denmark and Greenland is given to America as dowry payment," joked one user in an X (formerly Twitter) post which had garnered nearly 10 million views.

Princess Isabella is a member of Denmark's royal family and the eldest daughter of King Frederik and Queen Mary. She currently sits second in line to the throne. Meanwhile, Barron completed his freshman year at New York University's Stern School of Business last year, with many eyeing him as the potential political successor of his father.

As the post gained traction, some users were amused while others shared memes and highlighted previous precedents when conflicts were handled similarly.

"This is how we in Austria resolved conflicts in the good old days of the Habsburg monarchy," said a user, while another added: "No, we need Barron to marry Xi's daughter so we can bring about world peace."

A third commented: "Trump's granddaughter Kai marries the Danish Crown Prince Christian – double security, with the United States and Denmark merging into an empire."

A fourth said: "The city of Tangier was given to England by Portugal as a dowry for the marriage between Charles II and Infanta Catherine."

What Does Donald Trump Want?

On Friday (Jan 9), Trump suggested the use of force to seize Greenland whilst brushing aside Denmark's sovereignty over the Arctic island. As per the US president, controlling the mineral-rich island is crucial for US national security due to rising military activity of Russia and China in the Arctic.

"We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not," Trump said at a White House meeting, adding: "I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way."

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that an invasion of Greenland would end "everything," meaning NATO and the post-World War II security structure.

Journey Cut Short By Politics, Students Say Goodbye To J&K Medical College

Barely three months into the medical college, MBBS students at Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College in Jammu and Kashmir are bidding an emotional goodbye to the college. As the college lost its recognition after polarisation over admission of Muslim students, 50 aspiring doctors are finding themselves at a crossroads.

Heartbroken, students say the decision to close the college is reckless as they feel like a chapter of their lives has been suddenly torn out.

"It's beyond our comprehension. A notice is suddenly issued that your college is closing. The facilities in the college are above and beyond. How can they say that college is closed because it lacks facilities? We have been in distress and don't know what to do," said Aleena, an MBBS student.

Maanit, a student from Udhampur in Jammu, was happy to get admission in the college close to his home. But this happiness was short-lived. Miffed over the sudden closure, he says the revocation of the recognition of the college was reckless. He is now hoping for a good college to pursue his MBBS. degree.

"It's a reckless decision, a very bad decision. Now, since the decision has been taken, we must get a good college. We may not get facilities like this college place; nevertheless, we should be allotted a college," said Maanit.

Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence - a state-of-the-art hospital, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016. In September last year, the National Medical Commission granted a letter of permission to start the MBBS course in the college.

On Tuesday, when NMC withdrew the Letter of Permission after citing deficiencies in the college, students say they got a shock of their lives. But outside, there were celebrations in Jammu. BJP and right-wing groups, who had launched an agitation against the admission of 42 Muslim students, termed the closure of the college a victory. They even distributed sweets and played loud music to celebrate. 

Sunil Shama, senior BJP leader and leader of the Opposition in J&K Assembly, has termed revoking recognition of Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College as historical.

"The withdrawal Letter of Permission to Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College Excellence by National Medical Commission is a historic decision," said Sharma

But inside college, students say it's only science, not religion, that defines their collective identity. Ashiya, a student from Srinagar, says she may never find a better college after the closure of Vaishno Devi Medical College.

"Wherever we will go, we will not find such facilities, such teachers. Also, it's our memories of college and camaraderie. We will not get any such thing anywhere else. Our families are worried. We never felt in college what was happening outside. So long we don't get admission in other colleges, I don't think any of us can be at ease," said Ashiya.

Students say closure of college has shuttered their dreams, even as the government has assured them a seamless relocation to other colleges; the revocation of recognition of the Mata Vaishno Devi college is a chilling reminder of how politics and polarisation can impact education.
