Should Trump Have Received The Nobel, Or Is It A Greater Honor That Foreign Bureaucrats Don't Like Him?

Asking for a friend.

Alfred Nobel made a fortune blowing things and people into pieces due to his invention of dynamite. That's why the Nobel committee liked Obama so much. Obama blew everyone up, funded and trained all sorts of Islamic terrorists, and created puppet governments to provoke WWIII. Trump talks to people. He probably warmed the hearts of the Nobel committee a little when he bombed Iran and the drug boats, but all these peace talks really turned them off. They like murder, death, kill. They hate when you talk things out and get along. The more pieces you can blow people into, the more they feel you deserve the piece prize.

i think you are grossly mistaking what the job of the American president is. his job isn't to be "Liked" by foreign democrats. his job is to fight for American interst in the international geopolitical arena. and you can't say he didn't do a great job. he's fucking over russia by investing in ukraine and at the same time fucking over Europe by forcing them to denie russian gas (which is THE vital ressource for the german industry to work) and as a result he's weakening russia and Europe at the same time while strangthening america through selling fracking gas to Europe that was essentially useless in American markets.

i gotta say as a german, i hate trump. but if i was an American, i'd love him.

Neither. He should not have received it. And foreign bureaucrats don't vote for Nobel prizes

Some tips for Trump to win in the future: Don't: threaten to invade Greenland, Mexico, Gaza, try to annex Canada, have ICE incite violence, send the military to attack American cities over fake claims of crime being out of control. That would all be a start in the right direction for him.

Thank you for that angstful, histrionic laden response.

@Billlewis

somebody else already got it

[WindAtMyBack]

Nobody should get it. They should quit doing those stupid awards. Except for the little problem that they HAVE to do them. Those awards have always been controversial. I'd be better to use the money for something useful.

But if they must give them out, Trump deserves it more than a very recent president who got it for not doing a damn thing.

US presidents that have won the award mastered diplomacy and had the respect of the international community. Trump has neither and I don't know why he wastes so many calories trying to win an award he has no chance winning. People who win these awards, win because they have a history of peace. They don't have a history of trolling and insulting everyone who disagrees with them.

I'm actually fine with the person they chose for the Nobel Peace Prize. Maria Corina Machado is a non-leftist fighting against socialism in Venezuela. She's a major supporter of Donald Trump, and dedicated her win to Trump. I'm just happy and satisfied (and shocked, actually) that the Nobel Committee didn't choose another unaccomplished and/or unhinged dangerous leftist activist operating under the guise of peace.

Save it for the DEI cases like Obama. Obama was nominated 11 days into his term. He has no idea what he did to deserve it because he didn't do anything to deserve it, other than being half black.

[Cidknee]

Yes, he should have during his first term. If he had i'm not certain about again but since he didn't the first time around he certainly should have now.

[Surely]

At least the recipient of the Peace Prize recognized Trump for his accomplishments.

trump getting it? I’d say no way
