    For what? For starting the Iran war? For not ending the Russian invasion in Ukraine? For illegally kidnapping foreign heads of state? For randomly bombing boats that he claims without any evidence they were moving drugs?

    He is more likely to win the Literature Nobel Price for his rants on “Truth” Social…

    He also deserves one for Economics because of his big beautiful tariffs, one for Physics/Science because he had an Uncle who worked at MIT and thise genes clearly passed to Donny, maybe one for mathmatics too in changing how we all do percentages now?

    Fuck it give him all the Nobel Prizes because Little Donny is the most specialist boy in the whole wide world and we have clearly learned our lesson in giving him awards like the FIFA peace prize

    “They have a ​reputation for maybe not giving it to people like me.”

    You mean people actively involved in war? Yeah. If you stopped the war tomorrow maybe you’d be eligible.

      Well, and he’d have to run an apology tour for all the fucking saber-rattling being done, including at our allies, FFS.

      And bombing fishing boats. And kidnapping another world leader.

      Can you imagine Dump trying to even read off the most mealy-mouthed of apologies? There’s no way I see him being able to finish even one sincere apology to one entity.

      Ever see a narcissist cornered and people expecting an apology out of them? It’s not a pretty sight.

        Ending a war, even one that he himself began, is still something that’s potentially “peace prize eligible.” I’m willing to give him a pat on the back if he actually does something right. He won’t though.

      How do you define actively involved in war?

      We were actively involved in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan when President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

        Feels like a bad faith argument. Obama probably shouldn’t have won a peace prize, most people agree with that. But he was not responsible for Iraq and Afghanistan the way that Trump directly caused the current conflict. While he continues to lie about it in the news every day.

        What the fuck are you talking about? This is almost, technically true, except that the arrests were politically motivated by corrupt authoritarian governments, and it’s not even technically true either, as neither the Center for Civil Liberties (2022) nor Nihon Hidankyo (2024) have any criminal background. The last few winners are (interpreting “few” as “four” to be generous):

        • 2022:
          • Ales Bialiatski (Belarusian human rights activist who’s technically a “criminal” in the sense he was a prisoner of conscience by Belarus’ corrupt government who whipped up fraudulent charges of “tax evasion”)
          • Memorial (a Russian human rights org dedicated to studying human rights violations under Joseph Stalin; liquidated under Putin’s corrupt government via the repressive foreign agent law designed to stifle criticism)
          • Center for Civil Liberties (a Ukrainian human rights org that documented political persecution in Crimea and Russian war crimes)
        • 2023: Narges Mohammadi (a human rights activist who’s been imprisoned multiple times by the IRGC for checks notes advocating for human rights within Iran’s backwards, oppressive regime)
        • 2024: Nihon Hidankyo (Japanese lobbying organization dedicated to nuclear disarmament; truly a criminal organization)
        • 2025: María Corina Machado (arrested by dictator Nicolás Maduro’s corrupt government in 2014 using forged emails to accuse her of a murder plot, then subject to an attempted arrest in 2025 after she went into then came out of hiding following Maduro’s falsification of the election results).

          Machado is a right wing CIA plant that loves Isreal and Donald Trump. Maduro’s government was not corrupt and USA has used this lie as a cover for invading Venezuela and stealing their oil. Idk what you’re insinuating with this comment but that removed can fuck all the way off back to Norway or wherever she is now. “Peace” prize is a joke. Should be called American yuppie warmonger prize.

      Given the stance of the world I fully expect the award to be for “satiating the murderous urges of the ultra wealthy elite by his continued support of the world’s most prominent child sex trafficking”.

      So many conservatives had their brains utterly broken by Obama winning the WH, twice.

      Him winning the Nobel Peace Prize only compounded their meltdowns. The fact that we had Dump right after Obama is likely because of their collective meltdown. They often tell on themselves, and pretty much say as much: "we had to vote for donnie after Obama, because { something something radically changed America } " - typical DARVO shit.

      And Dump’s brain was probably broken the most. He doesn’t understand why he doesn’t have one - he’s white and he was in the WH 2x now. Why does he not have one, but the black president does?

        You’re partially right. The issue is that most Americans seem to be content with conservative leaders while things are good - both culturally and economically.

        And when things turn to shit, like they always do with conservative leaders, they will vote in a progressive one and “put up” with progressive policies - which are usually long term helpful - until they fix that shit.

        And the moment things are looking better, they go right back to conservatives.

        You can look back the past 60 years and the pattern is clear: conservative presidents and congress emerge when the economy is good, they’re handed a golden package that would literally keep improving if they literally did nothing, but nevertheless they came in, fucked shit up, caused a recession, that triggered a progressive leader who came in and fixed it, then immediately once the economy was back on track, another conservative was voted in…

        The only outlier would be Bush W, who got voted in right at the dot-com bubble burst, and stayed on until the 2007-08 crisis that got Obama elected

            I doubt it will be fixed without a major shift in the average American attitude. Yall over the pond still put too much emphasis on “everyone to their own devices”, rugged individualism ideology. It clearly doesn’t work.

            But for the average American to understand that uplifting the lowest of the society literally helps EVERYONE (except the ultra wealthy capitalists) to a better life. Americans need to understand that chasing the possibility of becoming one of the elites, one of the billionaires - which, let’s be honest, is a daydream at best for 99.999% of the population - is not what life should be about. You don’t have to have 80%+ of the country suffering just to enable 0.001% to live like kings and the 19.99% to live an okay life. We have the technology, the science, the ability to ensure that baseline quality of life for literally everyone on this planet.

            It just needs to come down to everyone having the base understanding that it’s not the [insert today’s favourite minority group to alienate]s causing their issues, but the capitalists seething the culture war so they can get richer.

            And Dems are the problem too. They’re just as deep in the shit as the Republicans. Both parties need to be disbanded, most members banned from holding a public office, and then a reform wave of progressives needs to happen - ban lobbying, ban financial donations above a certain amount (I’d say $1000 per person per year is a valid limit), strict campaigning guidelines, and strict penalties for not delivering campaign promises. Keep your politicians in check, have a proper recall procedure, term limits, transparency in financials as a baseline, and so on.

      He’s actually doing a lot of damage to the maga movement right now. Every time he shows up to a rally to support a candidate, their polls tank.

      I hope he lives until after the midterm elections are over, then I hope he dies publicly of natural causes so he can’t be used as a martyr.

        I understand where you’re coming from, but at this point I don’t care about any of those subtleties. He just needs to die any time from right now for any reason because nothing could be worse than his continued existence. It’s the only way he’ll stop.

    Did you know that the president of the United States of America is a 34 time convicted felon, has bankrupted multiple businesses and is currently waging a war against Iran just to protect the largest pedophile ring on earth and keep his name buried in said files that were legally supposed to be released?
