      I don’t think deserving things (or not) is really a relevant consideration for people like that. They just have things that they want for whatever reason and the power (or not) to have them

        Remember how Putin stole a Super Bowl ring from Bob Kraft? He just asked to look at it then walked out of the room with it. I bet Trump would do exactly the same thing with a Nobel medal if he had the chance.

      He knows he’s dying and is having an end of life crisis. He desperately wants to be liked by the same type of cunts that pick nobel piece prices as sail on mega yatchs before he starts getting fucked in the ass by Satan.

    I’m laughing that the committee awarded the prize to a Venezuelan. Trump is going to be raging all day - all caps screeching about how he deserved to win, how Maria Machado is a loser, about how many conflicts he resolved etc. His government is going to be striking out against Venezuela (despite the winner being an opponent of the regime), Norway and the Nobel Prize organization. Fox will be on a rage fest too and all his proxies too. I guarantee that we’ll see esteemed members of Nobel getting detained at US borders, being deported etc because Trump is a sore loser little bitch.

          Your instance is heavily censored, both in terms of that filter, and also your instance admins who are very, very ban-happy towards people who don’t share the same views they do. I recommend switching to a less controlling instance if that sounds like a problem to you.

      I think it’s worse than that. His cult members are sore for him. Trump probably won’t flag everyone he wants detained, but his disciples will do it for him to please daddy.

      Not that I think Trump’s not petty enough, I think he’s not capable enough.

      He also thinks he’s smart, attractive, beloved by all Americans, and good at golf. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and just thinks that’s the way it’s supposed to be. It’s never occurred to him that he might not deserve anything he wants, from companies to political victories to sexual conquests to accolades.

    The Nobel Peace Prize -once granted by a jury of scholars- has been given by politicians to other politicians for years now and has become just as worthless as you’d expect. Trump should definitely have one, just because he likes golden things so much. Maybe they should create a special category, the Trump Nobel Peace Prize, just as the economists did with their “Nobel prize” for economy (or whatever). The latter is not a Nobel prize at all, but who cares. Maybe put double gold on it or better put two medals and extra cheese in a burger roll. I bet Trump would like that,

      Ah, the good old “Swedish Central Bank Prize For Economics In Honor Of Alfred Nobel”, for which they use the shortname “Nobel Prize For Economics”.

      The whole thing neatly reflects the honesty of the profession.

        But the prize in economics is awarded by the Nobel Foundation. It’s a real Nobel prize, just not one of the original ones

          It’s only “real” if your definition of “Real NOBEL Prize” doesn’t include NOBEL Prizes being set up by somebody called Alfred Nobel, which is kinda like calling a Theatre Play done by somebody working at the Shakespear Globe a “Shakespear Play”.

          You will noticed that modern plays in Shakespear style are called Shakespearian Plays, not Shakespear Plays.

          All this neatly illustrates how the Theatre World is actually more genuine than the Economics World.

            Yeah, I consider it real because they’re administered by the Nobel Foundation. Nobel didn’t set up any of the prizes himself - they were created after his death by the foundation set up to d execute his will.

              Did Alfred Nobel leave explicit instructions in his will that the Foundation he created could create more Nobel prizes?

              Because ultimatelly, it boils down to whether they were following his will or not.

      And Obama’s drone strikes live rent free in the minds of an entire generation of people in the middle east. Still weird as fuck that he got a peace prize, but it would be much weirder if Trump received one.

          Obama got the Peace Prize for creating hope after dubya … and partly in order to “bind” him to commuting to peace.

          That was not one of the better selections.

        I was wondering about that as well so I looked into the dates. Apparently Obama got the award in October 9, 2009, and some of the first controversial drone strikes under his administration were in March and April of 2009. Dude came out the gate drone striking and the Nobel Committee just ignored it.

    Could we use his narcissism in a productive way?

    What if we get it in his head that he hasn’t built any pyramid yet. At his age, Khufu had probably completed and was buried in his pyramid; the one that is still visible today, five millennia later. Where is Trump’s? What legacy will he leave us? He needs to start building asap

    Once he gets convinced and starts appropriating funds for that, we only talk about that. Non stop. That way he doesn’t make any progress on his fascist agenda. Just a narcissist tar pit.

    What could go wrong? Worst case scenario we have an American pyramid that is not a casino or a hunting and fishing store.

    Its probably out of character for them, but the Nobel Commitee should make an announcement of things they consider disqualifiers for the prize to see if they can push him into relenting on his fascism.

    You know, "we will not consider any leader as a candidate who imposes or utilises martial law to rule their country. We will not consider any candidate who orders international killings of civilians.
    We will not consider any candidate that ignores their own countries constitutional protections when it comes to foreign nationals living in its territories, etc.

    Why not offer a participation trophy called the ‚Noble Piece Prize‘? At his reading level he’ll not notice any difference and no one is going to tell him.
