Do you know that Trump is trying to bully the Nobel Institute into giving him the Nobel Peace Prize?

[Anonymous]

If he started a GoFundMe for this purpose, would you donate to it? If he gave them the money, would they be more likely to give it him the prize? Do you think he would be likely to give them any significant amount of money if the fund was successful, or would he just keep it?

"For the first time in Nobel history, war was threatened because a head of state did not receive the Peace Prize,” Harald Stanghelle wrote in Aftenposten. “It could not be more absurd.”

It's pathetic. He's bombed 7 countries in his second term already. He created his "Board of Peace" and anointed himself chairman for life where only he could pick his successor and no credible country joined. He actually rescinded his invitation to Canada to join his little club proving he is an idiot when it comes to understanding peace. He's is so far removed from peaceful and losing credibility every day around the world that it would be impossible for him to be considered for the award again.

Typical strongman (though his malignant narcissism is a sign of weakness) behaviour !!!

And sue the BBC. I support BBC over Trump

[Amy10223]

Donate to him? Never. Absolutely not. Why is he even doing that with all his millions (billions?). I'd give it to Bad Bunny for his contributions to economically deprived children and promoting peace all over Latin America.

I don’t really get why it’s important for him to win Nobel peace prize. The Nobel peace prize winner also receives money along with the Nobel peace prize but he is already a billionaire.

If I was financially stable but all the good things I have done in my life was known by other people or shown on the news that is good enough for me.
I wouldn’t care about a Nobel peace prize but I do care about my reputation

People like Trump can never have enough money.

[Asker]

It's really not about the money for him, although I wouldn't completely discount it. It's about him needing to once again be told in some fashion that he really isn't all that shitty and miserable a person as he actually is. This man has wounds that no words or gestures will ever heal.

Thom Tillis said he felted “thrilled” after a journalist said to him that Donald Trump called you a loser.

[DryGermanGuy]

Fuck this deranged idiot and his inferiority complex.

[Abbycado]

I did read something about it. Bold strategy to threaten war to get the Nobel Peace Prize.

[KostasKouvalis]

Considering he guilt tripped the Venezuelan lady into surrendering her's to him, I'm not surprised in the least bit

[exitseven]

Trump will never win the Nobel prize. God knows what he did.

[loveslongnails]

Wait until the city of Minneapolis wins the prize! Hopefully, he'll have a heart attack.

[AviatorTom]

The Nobel Peace Prize is purely political... and pretty meaningless. People like Greta Thunberg, radical activist, have been nominated for it.

[Asker]

I guess Trump doesn't think it's meaningless or he wouldn't be so exercised about the fact that he doesn't have it and didn't get it. Greta got it because she is a peace and environmental activist and to many of us that means a lot even though it probably means nothing to you.

[slatyb]

LOL. He may as well petition the moon.

[FunkyMonkee]

No but, if you hum a few bars, I can fake it.

[Asker]

Can I dance to it?

[FunkyMonkee]

Absolutely!! If you CAN dance.

[beefcakebradybatson]

TIC.("Totally In Character!!!")

[In_Trance]

does this really matter in the grand scheme?

[Asker]

Yes and no. I take your point. In general, you're correct; it doesn't matter, but in another way it does matter because it serves to illustrate his continuing arrogance.
