It eats at him that Obama got one. He can't stand it.
What a loser.
Smell the desperation.
I just can't imagine being so immune to shame that I call to nominate myself for the Nobel Peace prize. Especially if I had raped children and it was widely known.
Well Obama (not bad guy, but had not really done anything Nobel price worthy) and Kissinger (really bad guy who had no commitment for peace, guite opposite should it be opportune for his view of US foreign policy) got the price also. Soooo from that point of view it isn't too crazy from Trump's view to desire one.
Of course takes guite shamelessness to propose oneself of course, but yeah. Wouldn't be even close to first time someone not deserving got Nobel peace price. Which is sad, since on the other hand very deserving people over the years have gotten it. Giving it to non deserving people diminishes the recognition it gives to the deserving ones.
No no it was John Barron who called, not Trump.
That's the one where he holds his nose and talks
He is mentally a four year old who has never progressed beyond the me, me, stage.
Yeah it's like Trump isn't psychologically human, he's completely unrelatable.
His psychotic parents deliberately never instilled any sense of shame, guilt, consequences, empathy, etc. in him. He is a remarkably broken human, an actual psychological specimen. He should be locked up, and studied by scientists. Very few people have had an upbringing that was literally tailored to create a psychopath.
Dude is going to surrender Ukraine and claim to be a peacemaker, while sweetening the deal with a chunk of Alaska.
My prediction is that Putin will offer him Alaska in exchange for Canada, and Trump will grab it, without considering that Alaska isn't his to give away, nor is Canada Putin's.
America for sale. Everything must go.
And demand an award for how much better he is that anyone else at it.
Why are no leaders playing him like a fiddle on this?
Ensure Russia ends the war with the same or less land than it started with and he's a dead cert
Reality doesn't matter to him so just string him along
And can I also be considered? I say many things on Lemmy! Is that something that can contribute? Alright, how much? $200? You want $200? Man I only got $5.50. Is that okay? I'll get you back later man! C'mon! C'mon man! Peace price!
Given how the last decade has gone, I expect he will be given a Nobel prize.
He just magically gifts everything he wants. I hate it.
Another zany episode in the Horror Annals of the monster Donvict Trumpepstein.
Well the fact the drone bomber in chief won one makes Trump's question far more reasonable. There are clearly zero standards.
I'd have gone with Kissinger personally
Obama met with lots of Middle Eastern leaders and signed many new agreements such as the JCPOA.
Drones were a pretty new capability and have only increased over time, in fact in the previous Trump term they removed the need for executive approval before drone strikes.
