I think I read somewhere that he claims to have brought about peace in the “Republic of the Condo”. Well done, that man. ---

From Heather Cox Richardson’s substack this morning: > … > On the right-wing _Todd Starnes Show_ today, Trump upped the number of wars he claims to have solved to ten, three more than the seven he has been claiming. “We ended seven wars,” he said. “Probably more than that. You know, I will, they wrote an article that they gave me three additional ones that I ended without even knowing it, but you know I saw things were going bad and it looked like it was going to go bad and it could’ve been, it could’ve been ten.” > > For all that the president calls himself the peace president and seems so desperate to win a Nobel Peace Prize that he brought it up with Norway’s finance minister in a cold call about tariffs in July, he is increasingly turning to the use of the military. > … > **[August 21, 2025](https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/august-21-2025?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=4y8eu)** > > Yesterday, Republicans in the Texas House of Representatives approved a new map redrawing congressional districts to switch five seats from Democratic control to Republican. ---

A couple are at least semi-legitimate examples of Trump brokering an end to an active conflict, but most are either exaggerating Trump’s importance, or just flat-out bullshit. But we should all bear in mind his failure to prevent the [Bowling Green Massacre](https://abcnews.go.com/US/bowling-green-massacre-happened/story?id=45258634). Stranger ---

> [@PhillyGuy](#): > > Given these criteria, a case can be made for giving the prize to [President Macron, Prime Minister Meloni, Chancellor Merz, Prime Minister Starmer, President Stubb, Prime Minister Tusk, President Costa, and President von der Leyen](https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2025/08/16/statement-by-president-macron-prime-minister-meloni-chancellor-merz-prime-minister-starmer-president-stubb-prime-minister-tusk-president-costa-president-von-der-leyen/). Reasonable, but I think that at most three individuals can be the official winners. ---

Give it to Joe Biden to really piss him off. ---

Had to laugh when I read on a right-wing message board, “Trump should win the noble prize.” I posted nothing, but if I had, it would have been, “Trump may win a noble prize, but he won’t win a Nobel Prize.” ---

I expect Trump’s next application to the Nobel committee will include as an accomplishment that he didn’t invade Sweden and burn Stockholm to the ground (yet). ---

Since the Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, they might answer “Well, get on it!” 😉 ---

In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, the Peace President is hinting that he may [rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/25/trump-pentagon-name-change-00523335). (Yes, I know it had that name earlier. That doesn’t change the fact that the president who claims to be for peace is thinking of putting the word “war” back into the Pentagon) ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > I saw someone say (and I know this isn’t a thing) that they should give it to Obama again, just to piss off Trump. Nothing is a thing anymore. All the rules are gone. Trump flushed the rule book down his golden toilet because he couldn’t read it. Gloves off. Give it to Obama for not destroying Trump. Had to take a lot of restraint.
