    …in the same news cycle that he is bombing Iran he’s bitching like a little bitch about not having won the Nobel Peace Prize?

    Remember.

    Trump is obsessed with Nobel prizes, because Obama got one… and Trump is a small, tiny, jealous, insecure little man with an YUGE inferiority complex.

      Obama made a joke at Trumps expense once and now Trump will do anything to one up him and erase Obama’s accomplishments as president

        No matter how much spray tan he uses, he could never take away Obama’s achievement of being the FIRST president of color.

        The only thing he’s accomplishing is that people fondly remember Obama and want him back.

    This is an opportunity. Somebody needs to tell him that pulling the leash on Israel would guarantee the prize. We could have a parade at the awards ceremony. Red carpet, real celebrities, and everything.

    It would still only be the second most embarrassing Peace Prize given to a sitting president.

      If Trump would rein Israel in and stop the Gaza genocide and the war with Iran, and would put something tangible on the table to guarantee a two-state peaceful solution (like a DMZ with UN troops), I would think that despite his everything, I’d be okay to have him get a Peace Prize.

      Stupid thing is, he is really in a position that no president in the past 5 decade at least found himself in, where he could actually do that with impunity, as he doesn’t need Israeli funding to get reelected, and he doesn’t give a fuck about getting anyone in his party reelected either.

      Of course, this would need Trump to be both brave and smart, which he is not.

    “I deserve all the Nobel prizes in a most bigly way! Literature, Art Of The Deal is a masterpiece! Very good. Math and economics, I knew exactly how much to borrow from the Saudis! Frankly I’m very smart. Physics, medicine, who needs that woke crap? Bleach cures everything! I’m pretty sure I’m the greatest man who ever lived. All real Americans think the Nobel Prize should just be called the Trump Prize, believe me.”

    He’s such an ideal Bond villain. Unfortunately there was never a Bond film featuring the villain being a president because no one could imagine something so outlandishly heinous. Speaks to the quality of this timeline.

    He could try running the Russians out of Ukraine, stop Israel genociding and restarting USAID in Sudan, saving millions of lifes. There are many projects he could take on. But he is not even trying. It’s difficult, i know. But if you want a medal; you need to at least participate.

    He doesn’t understand how anything works. You can question his intelligence, and there’s the dementia, but most of all, it’s his ignorance that stands out.
