a quarter war stopped, lol

Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de · 12 pts · 239d (1 reply)

Really it's 65 eighth wars stopped, but they rounded up to the nearest quarter

T156@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 239d

You know what, may as well round up for ease of calculation and say he stopped 100 wars.

QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz · 41 pts · 239d (1 reply)

So he wants a participation trophy.

a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 239d

He wants to be loved, admired, and feared.

Because he is a sad joke.

"Trump says" Welp, I'm done reading.

The guy who just committed an act of war against a foreign government, is threatening to violently seize land from another one, and put armed thugs in the streets of his own country who murdered a woman in cold blood a mere two days ago wants a Nobel Peace Prize.

That's the joke.

Brother you just became a war criminal by starting a war. Nows not the time.

DEI Nobel prize

RamRabbit@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 239d

If he would flood weapons into Ukraine and force Russia to retreat, I would give his words some thought.

But all I see is him hanging allies out to dry and starting/threatening new conflicts.

darkmarx@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 239d (3 replies)

I'd nominate him for one if he resigns.

Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 239d

Honestly, might be the most "peace promoting" thing he could do. Second only to keeling over.

frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io · 6 pts · 239d (1 reply)

No way, his administration is full of sycophants who would continue his evil deeds and they're much younger so would probably do more damage.

anytimesoon@piefed.social · 1 pts · 238d

But could any of them get the whole maga movement to rally behind them? The whole thing depends on the cult of trump's personality. With him gone, the whole movement will fracture as the different factions scramble to take control

I came here to post almost word for word this exact sentiment I wasn't prepared with Idiocracy crossed with the the 4th Reich. I mean all the roadmap led us here but God it's so much stupider than I imagined it would be.

Fucking asshole, Hitler more likely to receive noble peace prizes than this piece of shit

mechoman444@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 239d (6 replies)

Well to be fair, Hitler was worse but the fact that we keep comparing him to Hitler is pretty messed up...

Hazor@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 239d (5 replies)

Hitler was worse so far. I do believe the only thing that might prevent Trump from becoming as bad on a numbers basis is his deteriorating health. I'm not entirely confident that someone won't be able to pick up wherever he leaves off, though.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 238d (1 reply)

hitlers health was also deteriorating too, but he was hopped up on so much meth, it made it seem like he was active and healthy.

limelight79@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 238d (2 replies)

The one thing is that none of the rest of his administration generates the kind of support he does. Remember, Trump's numbers went down when he put JD Vance on the ticket.

I think now Republicans in congress wouldn't have an issue with fighting Vance.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 237d (1 reply)

Which is why MAGA will die with Trump. It's a Cult of Personality. Nobody really believe in the philosophical tenets of MAGA, because they are entirely Trump's whim.

Once he assumes room temperature, the knives will come out, and the backstabbing will begin, and since these psychos are so narcissistic that they will never surrender to each other, and they will keep backstabbing until they're they've ended themselves.

limelight79@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 237d

Yeah, they'll start fighting each other for control of the party.

Meanwhile the true believers will continue to vote for Trump, because there will be some idiotic conspiracy theory that he's still alive and running again.

But, while I agree MAGA will die, as AOC said a while back, the conditions that set him up for this continue to exist.

banazir@lemmy.ml · 11 pts · 239d

I can't even begin to understand the severity of his personality disorder to be able to say something so absurd and disingenuous in public and completely without shame. The fucking gall, at a time like this, with his recent actions and rhetoric. I'm speechless.

AlexLost@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 239d

Did he mean to say "start" and it came out as solved?

whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 239d

He meant the quarter pounder he finished

BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 239d

Mass murders, mass kidnappings, domestic and foreign terrorism, invasions, and threatened invasions are so brave and peaceful.

A Nobel Peace Prize should be given on the spot to the person that will impale his severed head on a pitchfork.

“Trump says—“ So I wonder if that upcoming Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is going to be good. Sure hope so.

Diddlydee@lemmynsfw.com · 6 pts · 239d

None. He has solved none. Temporary ceasefires are not an end to it.

He also said that he is not pedophile.

limelight79@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 238d

I'm kind of curious how high he'll go with that count. He randomly increases it, so now I have this morbid fascination with seeing where it ends.

Was the FIFA Peace Prize not good enough?

4grams@awful.systems · 3 pts · 238d

He’s going to be given or will steal Machado’s peace prize and will crow non-stop about winning it. Another, aggrievement based, ego-soothing tour is on the books.

How about an igNobel prize?/Although it could pass as an insult to the institution behind those awards. Because they have standards. Low. But still.

Just give it to him. They're pointless
