GOP has all the power right now, and they won't do a damned thing.

(34,852 posts)Trump is just plain old bombastic, intimidating and threatening for absolutely no reason than his own personal pride. Not to mention he deports people to the worst prison in the world, treats immigrants like shit, has retaliatory tariffs, tries to buy countries etc etc etc.....
Trump is a despot....
He's about as a appealing as Bashar Asaad.

(20,984 posts)As with respect, a Nobel Prize for Peace must be EARNED.
TACO Don has NO redeeming qualities that merit respect, let alone the qualifications for such a prestigious honor. Is TACO jealous that Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama earned one for their efforts to unite people where they were at, as well as strive for peace?
What a cry baby.

(34,296 posts)We need to understand nothing that comes from the federal government now, absolutely nothing, no statistic, no crime information, no indictments of anyone, will be real or credible and not corrupt.
Every single facet of the United States federal government is now corrupt and working against us.

The pompous ass doesn't deserve one but demands he gets it.

(866 posts)I would record any conversation i had with this asshat. This isnt even something he should be calling you about. I would release it to the press and say if the guy has something important to call about that is one thing, but why the fuck is he calling asking for awards instead of doing his job? He stole olympic gold metals ffs. Didnt he try to steal some other trophy the other day, too??? The guy is a complete tool. Just call and have a replica made you stupid fuck. Nobody thinks you won a gold metal, nobody is impressed by you stealing a gold metal. Somebody just end this horrible dream.
He should be recognized for killing an additional 700, 000 americans (plus another 100,000 a year for the rest of eternity) during covid when we literally just had to stay home for a few weeks to break the transmission cycle, but noooooo.

(5,206 posts)Under the circumstances, there is no way Trump should get it now. He's already ruined the whole idea of the award.this year. Kissinger was bad enough, but at least he didn't publicly BULLY his way into getting lt. Being in large part Norwegian ancestry, I'm proud to say I can't see Norway bending the knee to this disgraceful man.

(34,296 posts)The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a Norwegian committee, the Norwegian Nobel Committee, appointed by the Norwegian Parliament (Storting), as stipulated in Alfred Nobel's will

(42,523 posts)I assume it has something to do with Norway once being ruled by Sweden. Nobel was born in Sweden, and descended from a famous Swedish scientist, so it's not obvious why.
