Do you think he’s self-aware (or even capable of introspection) enough to see that this is why they didn’t give it to him?

(Along with the litany of other reasons…)

Nope

He's a toddler, and always was

Now, he's a toddler with dementia.

He's a great example of why no one should be required to respect elders who don't earn it.

Respect isn't a one-way street, and needs to be earned.

For me, respect is the baseline. It's given by default unless and until given reason not to.

In the case of this individual, though, the difference between your approach and mine is infinitesimally negligible.

He's not even capable of understanding that they'll give another prize next year.

He may have good reason to fear he won't be around anymore for the next one.

He's supposed to get it every year.

It's like the FIFA Peace Prize meant nothing to him.

Let's be honest: if he had won it (bear with me) it would have emboldened him to do whatever he wanted to do in the name of being a peaceful genius.

I agree

There's no reasoning with an idiot at the best of times, let alone an idiot with dementia

I was always peaceful until the left forced me to become murderous. -Trump

Wait, the guy going to war with parts of his own country because they don't like him and didn't vote for him isn't actually peaceful? Well well well, what a shocking turn up for the books!!
