Trump lists reasons he deserves Nobel Prize in epic meltdown

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-lists-reasons-he-deserves-nobel-prize-in-epic-meltdown/

Donald Trump posted a laundry list of reasons why he believes that he should get a Nobel Peace Prize.

In a Truth Social post, the president celebrated that he was “very happy” to report on a series of deals and agreements to end global conflicts that he “won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for.” The post came on the heels of Pakistan’s announcement that they plan to nominate him for the 2026 award, _The Hill _reported.

From the ABC (Aus) story I just read: 'After dropping the bombs, Mr Trump said now was the time for peace,... '

Insanity.

He said that in the same tweet that he announced the US attacked Iran.

He is waging war against his own country
He threatens to invade Greenland
He threatens to invade Panama
He is actively attempting to destroy the economy of his neighbouring country/ally with intent of coercing it into annexation and constantly disrespects its sovereignty.
He blatantly said he would encourage Russia to invade other countries and his actions have been supporting that too
His cuts in aid will result in thousands of people dying of starvation while food is left rotting in storage

He just unilaterally had 3 nuclear sites in Iran bombed.

Previous U.S. presidents to receive a Nobel Peace Prize include Theodore Roosevelt in 1906, President Woodrow Wilson in 1920, President Jimmy Carter in 2002, and President Barack Obama in 2009. Al Gore, a former vice president, also received the prize in 2007 for his efforts to raise awareness about climate change.

It brings me great joy that Mafia Don Mangolini is so incensed for many years now that these "Dems"/"Progressives" have received the prize and he has not. It sticks in his craw so badly. 😂 🤣

Gotta love it.

“A black man better than ME in every way, shape, and form! I must punish America and the world for this infraction!” - Trump probably

outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 12 pts · 1y

Obama wasn't as funny in that 'always sunny in philadelphia' kinda way. Maybe just as funny over all, even if we mostly laugh at trump. So trump has that.

I don't think Obama is as good as sleaze. He might be; Chicago has some pretty good sleaze, but I think trump is genuinely a world historic talent.

And, um... Clogging toilets (with stolen documents)? Obama to my knowledge isn't better at that than anyone else. Seems pretty regular. His wife probably makes him eat real food.

Some no name group in Pakistan should just set up a 'Nobele Peace Prize' committee and award him the prize in a big grand ceremony in Lahore.

In the ceremony, just place a large oversized gold coloured metal cheap copy of the Nobel Peace Prize and put over Trump's neck.

It's not like these idiots follow convention or want to agree with reality - we would know but they wouldn't care and they could go on living in their own delusional reality.

I loved how people kept pointing out that it was close to a dildo store, too.

Best part of all is that is where Roodles learned, in real time, that Taco was announced as the loser of the election, and then he does the typical qon song and dance about "the media".

That was....:chef's kiss: .

I'm not creating an account for that website. Does he actually list the reasons, or is there nothing more than claims of a 'series of deals'? That isn't a compelling argument.

huppakee@feddit.nl · 18 pts · 1y (5 replies)

I didn't want to either, so here is a link to the full article: http://archive.today/2025.06.21-220113/https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-lists-reasons-he-deserves-nobel-prize-in-epic-meltdown/

And here is the part you ask about:

“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River),” Trump wrote on Friday. “And I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in ‘The Ages!’”

He added, “No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!

If they actually give him a nobel peace price I don't think I'll be able to comprehend that. My brain will have an error for as long as I live probably.

I'd just assume the prize was meaningless after that.

huppakee@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 1y

Totally, but would if have been meaningful before? It might genuinely make me believe a lizard class of baby blood drinkers rule the world or something like that

Almacca@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Thanks. I look forward to the fact checking on all of that from someone better informed than I. I had a quick look, and his sole contribution to the Abraham Accords seems to be selling warplanes to the Saudis, and the Ethiopian thing seems to have fallen apart, so I remain sceptical about his contributions to world peace. Everything else we've seen from the man suggests he's anything but a peacemaker.

bradinutah@thelemmy.club · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

He should get a Nobel Prize just not for Peace. I think there's a new YUGE CRYBABY category that doesn't include any monetary reward that he'd be perfect for. I think jealousy of another certain black man getting a Nobel Prize instead of you is one of the main criteria.
