Trumps tweet just now

Does anybody get the meaning of what a so-called Noble (not Nobel) Prize is, especially as it pertains to Reporters and Journalists? Noble is defined as, “having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals.” Does sarcasm ever work?

Then he'll insist that they give him one of these too. And he'll post a photograph of himself with it at his nasty golf courses.

Good luck serving a subpoena on the Noble Prize Committee.

But he's been obsessing over the Nobel Peace Prize because Obama got one and he wants one desperately (and will never get it), so that's probably what was stuck in his tiny brain.

By Tuesday Eve, more Americans will have died of the Trump virus in 6 weeks than died in 10 years of the Vietnam war.

that I've already seen by some of his supporters on Twitter. He screwed up and you'd need to be braindead to believe any attempt to explain it away. When I replied in another thread, I almost wanted to make the joke that he'd use the sarcasm excuse again. But I decided against it because I thought that would be too lame and it actually makes no sense at all.

Either way, it's clear that he showed his ignorance again as he not only talked about the "Noble" prize using capital letters but he also attacked the committees making these decisions. His supporters should feel insulted that he believes that they buy this bs.

loudly blaming others for one's failure to communicate effectively is only interesting for so long, even when coming from the president in the form of a tantrum.
