Trump Snubbed for Nobel Peace Prize Again!

Good God, y’all

So, those Norwegian bastards once again declined to give our dear leader the Nobel Peace Prize he so richly deserves. He is taking it with his customary humility:

Wow, indeed. I can not think of a single reason why he would be denied again given how much peace he’s brought about.

What peace, you might ask? This peace:

I settled 8 Wars, with letters being sent from every President and Prime Minister from the countries that I helped to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and I’m about to settle, or win, two more, Iran and, Russia/Ukraine. They’re both happening at breakneck speed but, forget them, it’s the 8 that I’ve already settled, any one of which, in particular, Pakistan and India, would be far more than necessary to win the Nobel Prize. In actuality, I should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes, not just 1. The 8 Wars are:

Cambodia and Thailand

Kosovo and Serbia

The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda

Pakistan and India

Israel and Iran

Egypt and Ethiopia

Armenia and Azerbaijan

Israel and Hamas

Additionally, I stopped Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon, and blowing up the entire Middle East and, ultimately, far beyond! I saved more lives than anyone in History and, as Maria Corina Machado, a truly fine person, stated to the Media when she gave me her Nobel Prize of last year, “Donald Trump settled many Wars, and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than any person that has ever received it.” Based on my record of PEACE, a record like no one else has ever achieved, I agree! I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead, and worked with Hamas to do it — Nobody believed this was possible! I removed the World’s Evil Dictator, Nicolas Maduro, from Venezuela, and am in the process of making Venezuela a rich Democracy. Likewise, with Iran, I stopped them from destroying Israel, the Middle East, and Europe. I am also preventing, on a constant basis, a War between South Korea and North Korea, and Japan and North Korea. Add China and Taiwan, and numerous other hot spots, which have not been involved in Wars, only because of President Donald J. Trump, and the United States of America. I am responsible for having NATO countries increase spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, creating a stronger alliance and defense, another thing that everybody said was impossible to do. I have negotiated the release, and secured the return, of more than 900 political prisoners from multiple countries in Eastern Europe. Additionally, I have brought 196 hostages HOME from captivity, from all over the World, and did it without having paid a ransom, unlike Biden and Obama who would pay Billions of Dollars. On top of it all, I have created a soon to be very prosperous Arctic.

God damn, that’s a lot of peace! He’s being modest, only wanting eight peace prizes! They should rename it the Trump Peace Prize and retire it after awarding it to him.

Who else is even close?

Apparently, they gave it to this woman:

This is the woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize over the Great United States of America, whose Representative, ME, settled eight Wars, and many other things. I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else! In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever heard of her other than the fact that she, very obviously, hates Israel. I don’t know what the woman has done.

Not stopped eight wars plus that thing with the Arctic, that’s for damn sure.

It’s a travesty, I tell ya.

In tangentially related news . . .

NYT (“Trump Administration Hits International Criminal Court With Severe Sanctions“):

The Trump administration announced on Friday that it was imposing severe financial sanctions on the International Criminal Court, its latest effort to cripple the global body that seeks to prosecute those accused of war crimes, genocide and other murderous criminal acts.

The new sanctions, unveiled by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the State Department, would prohibit transactions with the court after a grace period of six months. Any companies doing business with the court afterward could be subject to punishment by the U.S. government.

The threat of that could constrain the institution’s ability to carry out daily operations.

Although the State Department had been preparing the sanctions for months, Mr. Rubio’s announcement came just hours after a committee in Norway said it was awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, a South African lawyer who served for nine years as a judge on the International Criminal Court and worked as the top human rights official at the United Nations.

So, she didn’t even stop one war? The nerve of these people.

  1. At least 1/3rd of the electorate actually believes this shit.

    I saw a clip of Jon Stewart referring to our billionaire overlords as money hoarders, a phrase I’ve used before. These people, these creatures, are black holes of need, none needier than Trump.

    30 years ago my wife and I invented an alien species we named Taxxons. We had just started earning enough to pay serious levels of tax and were somewhat irritated. So Taxxons were essentially very, very large centipedes who were eternally and unrelentingly hungry, so hungry that they would cannibalize wounded Taxxons. Their hunger was so extreme they willingly submitted to enslavement by another species in the hope that the aliens would feed them.

    We were having a bit of fun. Extreme, relentless, ravening hunger. But even the tax man has limits to his need, the government’s hunger is nothing next to that of the oligarchs. Certainly it is insignificant compared to Trump’s impossible-to-satisfy hunger.

    I think Jon Stewart and I are right to see this is a mental illness. I’m serious. I think people like Musk and Trump suffer from a form of ‘hoarding disorder’, which is an actual thing in the DSM. They need ever more, the hunger is relentless, it has no limit, there is no end point but ever more hunger.

    Trump needs every prize, every honor. He’s so needy he actually accepted and clearly enjoyed the made-up FIFA prize, something so pathetic that anyone with a shred of pride would have rejected it. But Trump needs every prize, every dollar, every honor. His name must be on everything. He is a sick man, but our country, our people, raised with no real value but greed, can’t see that Taxxons were meant to be satire, not lifestyle influencers.

    Trump will never get the Nobel Peace Prize he needs so desperately. We have more important goals, of course, but we should spare some time and resources to tear down every ego prop he builds, chisel his name off every building, highway, bridge, ship named for him. If he builds his pitiful triumphal arch we should go at it like Germans did with the Berlin wall. And we should make that intention clear to Trump himself: If you build it, Donny, we will come, and we will come with sledgehammers.

    1. Well, the monuments obviously.
      But what the American people and polity really need to come for with sledgehammers are the ill-gotten fortunes of the Trump’s, Kushner, Witkoff, etc.

      The “Western civ” enthusiasts of the US Right should actually recall something: when private wealth uses state power to engross fortunes, and then use such to direct politics, tolerable corruption becomes intolerable.
      That is a lesson of the European history those people pretend to be so conscious of, but whose lessons they seem determined to ignore.

  3. If you skim across the list of Nobel Laureates who’ve won the Peace Prize, you’ll notice many are people or organizations involved in humanitarian activities. Also those engaged in the promotion of civil rights, especially of minorities. And to a lesser extent people who fight corrupt, authoritarian regimes.

    For some reason, it lacks people who’ve attacked a country twice while in the midst of negotiations. People who engage in indiscriminate killings in the high seas. People who attempt to destroy democracy. And people who unleash violent repression of minorities, who are largely peaceful and law-abiding members of their communities.

    Now, El Taco has one (1) thing in his record that fits in with the overall Peace Prize theme: the Abraham Accords. Yet he never even brings that up among his delusions of ending seven million wars.

  4. I saved more lives than anyone in History

    Every day he wakes up, glances over towards the nuclear football, and does not wipe out humanity. With the increasing population, he has saved more lives than anyone in History.

    Not cumulative, of course, as Obama didn’t wipe out humanity for 8 years straight, and he has only done 5.5 years so far. Even with the population increase, the numbers don’t work out.

    Obama deserves a second Nobel Peace Prize.

  5. Egypt and Ethiopia
    Kosovo and Serbia

    Wut?
    I assume he actually means Eritrea and Ethiopia, and is just having another memory failure.
    But there has been no Kosovo vs Serbia fighting at all.

    Trump also stated in the same rant that the war with Iran would be ending soon:
    “Iran will be very quick one way or the other: that they give us everything or they don’t exist any longer.”
    How on earth could the Nobel Committee deny the Peace prize to a man of such noble and humanitarian judgements?

    1. @JohnSF That just goes to show you how good he is at Peace. He stops wars so fast you don’t even realize they happened.

  6. Alfred Nobel’s will stipulated three criteria for the Peace Prize. I doubt Trump has even read them. If he had, he’d know he has failed spectacularly at all three.

    “Fraternity between nations”: with the exception of North Korea and Russia, he has gone out of his way to alienate other governments. Even Israel is tired of him.

    “The abolition or reduction of standing armies”: Trump actually boasted in his unhinged whine that he’d coerced other NATO members into increasing their standing armies.

    “The holding and promotion of peace congresses”: Trump has withdrawn from several and frequently derides the rest, especially the UN.

    If Trump had set out to be the least eligible Nobel Peace Prize nominee in history, he could scarcely have done a better job. But like a particularly slow failing student after you’ve patiently explained why they didn’t meet any of the prescribed assessment criteria, he still can’t see why he didn’t top the class. I mean look at the effort he put in!

  7. It’s easy to settle 8 wars when you just make up wars that didn’t exist and claim to have settled them. I mean, we should admire his restraint for not including Guilder and Florin.

    In reality, what he wants credit for is the routine diplomacy that the US had done throughput the Pax Americana, mostly by unheralded diplomats.
