Unfortunately, they don't hand them out for being the biggest dipshit around. He would have won way more than five by now if that was the case.
If the United States is not attacking Iran by next year he may be right….
... bad news there.
D’oH!
God it fucking burns him so bad that Obama got one and he didn't.
Obama didn't even deserve a peace prize, the guy did more drone strikes than Bush, but just for the fact that it upsets Trump so much I say they should give him another one.
Of course Obama did more drone strikes than Bush - drones were barely a thing during the Bush years. The technology only became practical, cost effective, and mass produced during Obama's term.
Makes me wonder though if Bush wouldn't've used more drones if they were cheaper and readily available earlier in his presidency. At the time, they were still incredibly expensive and unreliable.
No one in government cares how many collateral deaths there are when drones are used, as long as it reduces the number of Americans returning home in boxes. Keeping the voters happy is always the priority.
At the time, they were still incredibly expensive and unreliable.
I think that's a feature, more money for Lockmart and Raytheon, line go up.
as long as it reduces the number of Americans returning home in boxes
As long as it appears like they do. I don't think they give a fuck about their soldiers, otherwise they wouldn't have sent them to Asia to die.
but just for the fact that it upsets Trump so much I say they should give him another one.
Five more, so Obama has one more than Trump thinks he's earned.
Republicans are so terrible that Obama was given a Nobel peace prize early into his first term just for not being a republican
My one single satisfaction that I take from Turnip is despite having everything including some otherworldly luck - he will never be satisfied or appreciate any of it. What a sad and pathetic life and the only kind of life a sad fuck like him deserves.
Ha yeah for his peace efforts in the Middle East (or Near East for us Europeans) just to fuck up Trump more.
God he's so cringe "they only give them to liberals 😭" no they are
granted in accordance with the principle of "for the greatest benefit to humankind"
at which conservatives fail because they ultimately only benefit themselves.
Also I agree Obama didn't deserve them but at least he also gives at this fact himself and didn't wear it when he ordered drone strikes on wedding ceremonies while you can bet Trump would wear it on the toilet even

Maybe he should shoot for something more attainable for someone of his capability, like a Darwin award
Isn't he out of contention since he has already reproduced?
I'm willing to give him a participation trophy
Remember.
Trump is obsessed with Nobel prizes, because Obama got one.. and Trump is a small, tiny, jealous, insecure little man with an YUGE inferiority complex.
Obama made a joke at Trumps expense once and now Trump will do anything to one up him and erase Obama's accomplishments as president
The only thing he's accomplishing is that people fondly remember Obama and want him back.
No matter how much spray tan he uses, he could never take away Obama's achievement of being the FIRST president of color.
Shut up, Donald.
He could try running the Russians out of Ukraine, stop Israel genociding and restarting USAID in Sudan, saving millions of lifes. There are many projects he could take on. But he is not even trying. It's difficult, i know. But if you want a medal; you need to at least participate.
He doesn't understand how anything works. You can question his intelligence, and there's the dementia, but most of all, it's his ignorance that stands out.
Delusional.
....in the same news cycle that he is bombing Iran he's bitching like a little bitch about not having won the Nobel Peace Prize?
HOW MANY WARS DO I HAVE TO START TO GET A DAMN PEACE PRIZE.
Henry Kissinger: famous liberal
The best thing I can say about Kissinger is that he's dead.
The worst thing about being an atheist is knowing that he isn't rotting in Hell.
I've heard that the Nobel people were thinking about giving Trump one in two weeks ... but they are going to wait until the last second to decide.
Cry more, dickhead.
He should win the opposite of a Nobel Prize. Like how the razzies (which he has won a few of) are the opposite of oscars.
Let's call them prison sentences and I agree.
He should get a Darwin award.
Sadly, he spawned. 🤮
Ig Nobel Prize https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ig_Nobel_Prize
You still have to put in some real work to win one of those. They don't just hand them out for whining in the media.
They have the Ignoble Awards but I don’t think he qualifies for that either.
This is an opportunity. Somebody needs to tell him that pulling the leash on Israel would guarantee the prize. We could have a parade at the awards ceremony. Red carpet, real celebrities, and everything.
It would still only be the second most embarrassing Peace Prize given to a sitting president.
If Trump would rein Israel in and stop the Gaza genocide and the war with Iran, and would put something tangible on the table to guarantee a two-state peaceful solution (like a DMZ with UN troops), I would think that despite his everything, I'd be okay to have him get a Peace Prize.
Stupid thing is, he is really in a position that no president in the past 5 decade at least found himself in, where he could actually do that with impunity, as he doesn't need Israeli funding to get reelected, and he doesn't give a fuck about getting anyone in his party reelected either.
Of course, this would need Trump to be both brave and smart, which he is not.
He's such an ideal Bond villain. Unfortunately there was never a Bond film featuring the villain being a president because no one could imagine something so outlandishly heinous. Speaks to the quality of this timeline.

I would like a Nobel Prize awarded to AOC...for sending the backers of Project 2025 to Nuremberg, a second one for a Great New Deal, a third for a Renewed Bill of Rights, a 4th for funding a Neo-NHS that implements universal healthcare, and a fifth Nobel for killing capitalism as we know it. Maybe a sixth, for destroying the Klan and dismantling existing American Police with a wholely new institution without any members from their ICE predecessors.
Demented rapist says he deserves five Nobel prizes. 34% of the country cheers.
I hope he lives just long enough for them to give a Nobel prize to whoever fixes the humanitarian nightmares he's creating. He deserves to see all his bullshit unravel in front of him.
