Trump to be nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Politics & Elections

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.

But we should all bear in mind his failure to prevent the Bowling Green Massacre.

Stranger

Reasonable, but I think that at most three individuals can be the official winners.

105

So they can’t award it to “everybody in the world, alive or dead, except Donald Trump”? That would be fun.

106

Give it to Joe Biden to really piss him off.

107

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.”

108

Thanks for the link. Trump babbles on.

109

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!”

:wink:

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.

(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)

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.
