Longtime Nobel watchers say Trump’s prospects remain remote despite a flurry of high-profile nominations and some notable foreign policy interventions for which he has taken personal credit.

    Is it because he’s a dumpy idiot who hasn’t done anything to further the goals of world peace for a single person, let alone a country or the world?

    Who is asking experts about Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize? PBS are you ok?

      Last I heard Trump was cold calling world leaders to beg for Nobel peace prize nominations.

      It’s more because he wants one, and is desperately seeking one. Obama got one, so he thinks he deserves one. He just can’t seem to find the right people to threaten to get one.

        Obama will live inside that man’s tiny brain until the final neuron flickers out. He’s so mad a black man got elected president before he did.

          Wasn’t just president first, but he publicly made fun of him. At a comedy event. Where people make jokes about people in power. He can never get that out of his mind.

      Hey now, documenting why stupidity is stupid is a valid endeavor. If you don’t document it, people the future can deny it ever was an issue.

      PBS is going to be gutted and shut down at some point most likely. So PBS is not, in fact, okay.

      It’s all part of the corporate media machine that is trying everything they can to normalise Trump.

    Nobel Peace Prize? The fucker is doing his best to start civil war in the US. The fucker has been doing his best to help Russia in their war of aggression. The fucker has been gleefully helping Israel with their genocide.

      Henry Kissinger (aka “MC Warcrimes”) won the peace prize, it’s 100% feasible for trump to get it. Fucking joke of an honor.

    I’m surprised they got an explanation and not just raucous laughter at the absurdity of the question.

      People who vote for the oscars, sometimes don’t even watch the movies. Obama won the nobel peace price while drone striking more children than any other presiden (or person) on the planet. I absolutely wouldn’t be shocked if he won the nopel price or price for leas likely to fuck children.

    I’m hoping that there are two reasons

    1. He’s seen as the horrible piece of shit that he is

    2. He’s not alive to receive one

        I’m in favor of Trump getting the prize posthumously if this is explicitly given as the reason.

        No one person matters that much, slime is not the real problem, it’s just a result. The system itself is producing this, and hopefully our government has the ability to deal with it, if not then wow would be crazy with all of our military bases around the world
