Trump Gripes 'Fake News' Didn't Tout His 2 Nobel Peace Prizes (That Never Existed)

Source: Huffington Post

President Donald Trump complained at a Pennsylvania campaign rally Saturday night that the “fake news” completely skipped reporting his two Nobel Peace Prizes.

Trump has no Nobel Peace Prizes.

He was nominated this year for a 2021 prize.

On Saturday, Trump grumbled that there wasn’t a word in the “fake news” about his Nobel recognition.

“Somebody had a show where they said the amount of time devoted to Donald Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize — two of ’em — [was] zero on the networks, zero,” he emphasized. “It is so disgraceful. They’re so bad.”

8. Tertiary Syphilis
Sun Sep 27, 2020, 10:51 AM
Sep 2020

Tertiary Stage

Most people with untreated syphilis do not develop tertiary syphilis. However, when it does happen it can affect many different organ systems. These include the heart and blood vessels, and the brain and nervous system. Tertiary syphilis is very serious and would occur 10–30 years after your infection began. In tertiary syphilis, the disease damages your internal organs and can result in death.

Neurosyphilis and Ocular Syphilis

Without treatment, syphilis can spread to the brain and nervous system (neurosyphilis) or to the eye (ocular syphilis). This can happen during any of the stages described above.

Symptoms of neurosyphilis include

severe headache;
difficulty coordinating muscle movements;
paralysis (not able to move certain parts of your body);
numbness; and
dementia (mental disorder).

I looked it up out of curiosity.

Marie Skłodowska Curie, Physics 1903 and Chemistry 1911
Linus Pauling, Chemistry 1954 and Peace 1962
John Bardeen, Physics 1956 and Physics 1972
Frederick Sanger, Chemistry 1958 and Chemistry 1980

The oldest person to win a noble prize was John B. Goodenough who won in 2019 the chemistry prize at age 97.
The youngest was Malala Yousafzai who won the peace prize at age 17.

Conversations like these do get me thinking - "gee, I wonder who else did that/did anybody get more than that?/who got the most-biggest-baddest-whatever-est."

And speaking of hard-working, sheesh - the hours, days, weeks, months, years sometimes, that this caliber of expert put in on study, experimentation, research, writing, analyzing, consulting, and more, that led the way to their Nobel awards. One can only imagine! I had a friend in college radio who was a physics nerd, and he said one of the coolest things about his course of study was that it had him working with Nobel Prize-winners. Spoke about them almost in hushed tones.

for sniffing out land mines as well. It's worth a try. The mines would detonate from the earth shaking when he walked past, right? Then he'd have three Nobel Prizes!

He thinks that the Nobel Prize, any category, will follow the principle that, if you say something enough times, it will manifest itself as truth.

Decades ago, there was a book called, "The Power of Positive Thinking." Keep something in your head, and it will become true. Well, my fervent wish, and therefore in my head, is that Joe and Kamala kick his ass to the curb with a resounding whack!

Also, I'll put my wish that he NOT win any prize of any kind up against his desire to win this prize (like Barack did.) It's true, my original campaign to have his hair plugs fall out didn't work; I think that I didn't account for his hair advisor, drat. But, with all of us wishing and hoping for his downfall, we are bound to prevail.

While he wishes to win the Nobel Peace Prize, We The People will show up at the polls and make our own wishes the truth!

So can tout away at the "honor"

MEDICAL EDUCATION PRIZE [BRAZIL, UK, INDIA, MEXICO, BELARUS, USA, TURKEY, RUSSIA, TURKMENISTAN]
Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, Narendra Modi of India, Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Donald Trump of the USA, Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan, for using the Covid-19 viral pandemic to teach the world that politicians can have a more immediate effect on life and death than scientists and doctors can.
