Since his return to power in January, Trump has been increasingly focused on the Nobel Peace Prize. He has claimed to have ended several conflicts around the world.
Experts, however, contest his claims.
Many world leaders and lawmakers are adopting a new tactic to stay in Trump's good graces — praising his peace efforts and nominating him for the Peace Prize.

I really want someone by trumps side on his dying bed to say very loudly, "And you still didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, but Obama did."

I can't believe this is all happening just because he was ridiculed at a correspondents dinner.

Having people kiss his ass and give him free handouts to stay in his good graces is how Trump has been operating his entire life.

What a nifty way to craft an improvised sawed off shotgun using basic materials you can find in a hardware store!

kokesh@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 298d
I guess that orange senile narcissist is begging anyone he meets to nominate him. He should be put into some dementia care home.

How about a plywood box.
kokesh@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 298d
Sure! I hope every day someone takes him out. I guess by voicing my hopes about this every day around the internet I'm never going to the Nazi states of America ever again 😂 as I'm on persona non grata list!

tomiant@piefed.social · 1 pts · 296d
You don't care that your neighbor, the last remaining superpower of the world, with enough weapons to obliterate the planet, who own the global economy, is doing or that it is collapsing into a black hole of fascism?
I'm not even from that side of the planet, and I worry a lot.
1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 296d
Well the only thing I worry about is when they invade and I die defending Canada.

“We don’t negotiate with terrorists and don’t give up to bullies^†^”

I wonder what the "deal" is here.
CountVlad47@feddit.org · 11 pts · 298d
This is the equivalent of "aww, don't worry buddy... you'll get it next time". In other words, how you might treat a child (apologies to any children for the comparison).
This negotiating tactic is particularly smart because even though it can be used to gain favor with Trump/US, the final decision of who gets the prize is out of their control so someone else can be blamed if he doesn't get it.

"I'm going to nominate my arms dealer for a Peace Prize" is an amazing idea. How can this ever go poorly?

Awful everything. At least Japanese people are protesting against Trump.
Like yay, Japan still likes us and I might be able to study abroad. But on the other hand, they've got a "women should be traditional" nutcase who thinks Trump is cool. Like nooooo. Stop. I'd rather you hate us.

Oh, we all know what's in the Russian kompromat, Donnie, and what you really really want is the Nobel Piss Prize.
The only reason I won't piss on your grave once you're gone is because you'd no doubt enjoy it.
