    I think they should give a NPP to Little Marco, or Steve Witkoff (ewww…), just on the chance that maybe Donny 2 Weeks will stroke out in rage… Or another to Obama, LOL.

      another to Obama

      Donny still not got over that joke at the white house dinner. It would be hilarious to give Obama an award for services to immigration or golf.

      I don’t think deserving things (or not) is really a relevant consideration for people like that. They just have things that they want for whatever reason and the power (or not) to have them

        Remember how Putin stole a Super Bowl ring from Bob Kraft? He just asked to look at it then walked out of the room with it. I bet Trump would do exactly the same thing with a Nobel medal if he had the chance.

      He knows he’s dying and is having an end of life crisis. He desperately wants to be liked by the same type of cunts that pick nobel piece prices as sail on mega yatchs before he starts getting fucked in the ass by Satan.

      Overgrown toddler mentality. He doesn’t use logic, doesn’t consider other people, fairness, accomplishments, optics, etc. He just wants it, hasn’t been told ‘no’ enough, and has Big Feelings about it…

    If Norway just created a Noble Prize, would he notice the difference? And if you surprised him with it in person, no one could ever point out that it wasn’t the Nobel prize as trump can’t stand to ever be wrong so he’d say that’s the one he really wanted all along.

    Problem solved, someone can nominate me for the second Noble prize.

        That civil war is a few years late.
        Not going to happen, everybody’s glued to TVs and social media, too bothersome to get out of the couch and do something.

          Yeah. I listened to an episode of ologies about this.

          Age is a big part of it. Like no one over 30 wants to risk everything for something they believe in.

          The average age is older than it was in the civil war era.

        We will be lucky if we have a democracy after his term.

        It looks like he’s reforming the government so that it follows the dictates of the President who is wholly owned by the billionaire oligarchs of the world.

    What worries me is what he will do after he doesn’t win that prize and is no longer incentivised to maintain that extremely superficial pretense of “peace” that he’s already awful at.

          They all come up to me and stop and they say sir, I’m sorry to hear you lost the prize to a very nasty person. A real nasty person. I hear she didn’t even win in her own country you know, and I shake my head and I say it’s too bad, the state of things. A big shame. You know who else was big? Palmer. Let me tell you about palmer …

    “hours before the European group will decide the award recipient”

    They think they make the decision same day as the announcement… LOL.

    The winner has already been picked.

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/dampening-trumps-chances-nobel-institute-says-peace-committee-finalized-its-pick-on-monday/

    "The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awards the prestigious peace prize, held its final meeting on Monday, the Nobel Institute said Thursday, a day ahead of the announcement of the 2025 laureate.

    This means a decision was made about the laureate or laureates before the conclusion of an agreement between Israel and Hamas,"

    If he did his campaign promises of ending the wars in Ukraine and Gaza with his first week, he might’ve had a shot.

    But no, he decides to divide and antagonize.

      this can be dealt with

      After the Nazi invasion of Denmark this placed them in danger; it was illegal at the time to send gold out of Germany, and were it discovered that Laue and Franck had done so, they could have faced prosecution. To prevent this, de Hevesy concealed the medals by dissolving them in aqua regia and placing the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid.

      And Obama’s drone strikes live rent free in the minds of an entire generation of people in the middle east. Still weird as fuck that he got a peace prize, but it would be much weirder if Trump received one.

        Indeed. That any imperialist ruler or diplomat gets a peace prize is absurd. Especially from the USA, but any big power would also be absurd.

          Obama got the Peace Prize for creating hope after dubya … and partly in order to “bind” him to commuting to peace.

          That was not one of the better selections.

        I was wondering about that as well so I looked into the dates. Apparently Obama got the award in October 9, 2009, and some of the first controversial drone strikes under his administration were in March and April of 2009. Dude came out the gate drone striking and the Nobel Committee just ignored it.
