Trump cold-called Norwegian minister to ask about Nobel Peace Prize
American president angles for top diplomatic award while world watches his summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
I just can't imagine being so immune to shame that I call to nominate myself for the Nobel Peace prize. Especially if I had raped children and it was widely known.
Yeah it's like Trump isn't psychologically human, he's completely unrelatable.
He's a sociopath - just like the rest of billionaires. Having that much wealth, no matter how you got it, and keeping it, is already an act of great violence against many. But these people employ special psychologists and therapists to "get rid of" what's left of their conscience. They're essentially training themselves (and their children) to be psychopaths from a very young age. Even the ones who were actually born with something of a morality compass will have gotten rid of it by the time they need to step into the family company's hierarchy.
His psychotic parents deliberately never instilled any sense of shame, guilt, consequences, empathy, etc. in him. He is a remarkably broken human, an actual psychological specimen. He should be locked up, and studied by scientists. Very few people have had an upbringing that was literally tailored to create a psychopath.
He is mentally a four year old who has never progressed beyond the me, me, stage.
No no it was John Barron who called, not Trump.
That's the one where he holds his nose and talks
Well Obama (not bad guy, but had not really done anything Nobel price worthy) and Kissinger (really bad guy who had no commitment for peace, guite opposite should it be opportune for his view of US foreign policy) got the price also. Soooo from that point of view it isn't too crazy from Trump's view to desire one.
Of course takes guite shamelessness to propose oneself of course, but yeah. Wouldn't be even close to first time someone not deserving got Nobel peace price. Which is sad, since on the other hand very deserving people over the years have gotten it. Giving it to non deserving people diminishes the recognition it gives to the deserving ones.
What a loser.
Smell the desperation.
What a weird, desperate loser.
Releasing the military upon his own people rubber stamps the award for him.
It eats at him that Obama got one. He can't stand it.
Just another reason the conspiracy theory about Obama giving himself the prize is bullshit. Too many people would have to keep a secret with no incentive to do so.
"lol, no." Jens Stoltenberg, probably.
And can I also be considered? I say many things on Lemmy! Is that something that can contribute? Alright, how much? $200? You want $200? Man I only got $5.50. Is that okay? I'll get you back later man! C'mon! C'mon man! Peace price!
“Yes, this is President . . ehh John Barron, . . yeah, that’s the ticket! And I’ve got a great candidate for you, for your fabulous bigly Famous Prize in Nobel . . . “
Given how the last decade has gone, I expect he will be given a Nobel prize.
He just magically gifts everything he wants. I hate it.
See if we can dig up Kissinger to present it to him.
This has to be an Onion piece. Surely...
Another zany episode in the Horror Annals of the monster Donvict Trumpepstein.
The fact, that someone else as Trump even considered this, makes me ashamed to be human.
I thought he didn't care about the NPP
Well the fact the drone bomber in chief won one makes Trump's question far more reasonable. There are clearly zero standards.
Obama met with lots of Middle Eastern leaders and signed many new agreements such as the JCPOA.
Drones were a pretty new capability and have only increased over time, in fact in the previous Trump term they removed the need for executive approval before drone strikes.
I'd have gone with Kissinger personally
Dude is going to surrender Ukraine and claim to be a peacemaker, while sweetening the deal with a chunk of Alaska.
America for sale. Everything must go.
a perfect place for Putin to build a road and put tanks so that Putin and Trump can divide up Canada.
I don't want it this way, since both Trump and Putin are total goobers, but it would be cool to have a rail and road bridge across the Bering Strait someday.

Why are no leaders playing him like a fiddle on this?
Ensure Russia ends the war with the same or less land than it started with and he's a dead cert
Reality doesn't matter to him so just string him along
My prediction is that Putin will offer him Alaska in exchange for Canada, and Trump will grab it, without considering that Alaska isn't his to give away, nor is Canada Putin's.
And demand an award for how much better he is that anyone else at it.
