Posted to show they have awarded some prizes that seemed great at the time.

1. That award was for medicine in 1949, definitely not the same as the peace prize.

Nobel prizes in the sciences have been given for all kinds of research and discoveries, some of which are now obviously obsolete. But this award certainly has nothing to do with Trump's absurd quest for the Peace Prize.

Trump was a recipient of a lobotomy.

3. He does show some of the classic symptoms, doesn't he? n/t

4. Interesting, I thought lobotomies went farther back than that.

What a savage, brute-force form of "treatment." Might as well beat the patient to drive out the demons.
