He's peacefully murdering people in international waters.

They're all saying it. Every time I see somebody they're saying the same thing. They say mister trump you're the most peaceful guy I know. I heard somebody say that once and now they're all saying it.

Bigly peacful

Its probably out of character for them, but the Nobel Commitee should make an announcement of things they consider disqualifiers for the prize to see if they can push him into relenting on his fascism.

You know, "we will not consider any leader as a candidate who imposes or utilises martial law to rule their country. We will not consider any candidate who orders international killings of civilians.
We will not consider any candidate that ignores their own countries constitutional protections when it comes to foreign nationals living in its territories, etc.

we will not consider any leader as a candidate who imposes or utilises martial law to rule their country.

Anwar Sadat got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978.

We will not consider any candidate who orders international killings of civilians.

Henry Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973.

We will not consider any candidate that ignores their own countries constitutional protections when it comes to foreign nationals living in its territories

Yitzhak Rabin got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, and Menachem Begin got it jointly with Sadat in 1978.

Any requirement that the Nobel Peace Prize, the most prestigious act of virtue signaling in the world, be limited only to good people, would collapse under the weight of its own hypocrisy.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

I mean it always has been a bit hypocritical. It was Noble's attempt to whitewash his memory as the creator of dynamite, which was almost immediately used as a weapon in the Franco Prussian war.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 20 points 14 hours ago

He's deploying the military against his own people for protesting his crimes against humanity....

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 21 points 15 hours ago

Major media and social media seem to promote the winner - Maria Corina Machado - despite that she is a Trump fan, and Israel supporter. Also in Mastodon she is trending.

Venezuela’s Maria Corina Machado once described Trump as a ‘visionary.’ She just won his coveted Nobel Peace Prize

Nobel Peace Prize winner Mara Corina Machado supports Israel’s war and Benjamin Netanyahu? Here are the facts

i wish he was directly and unambiguously mocked a lot more

When you're looking for a peace prize while pitting US citizens against each other, you know it's because whatever "immunity" you got won't be enough to hide from your crimes. - People aren't dumbasses donny.

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

I agree with everything but the last sentence. There is a huge percentage of the population that are dumbasses

Peace prize for Trump? The guy who started a war? With his own citizens?

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

He also thinks he's smart, attractive, beloved by all Americans, and good at golf. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and just thinks that's the way it's supposed to be. It's never occurred to him that he might not deserve anything he wants, from companies to political victories to sexual conquests to accolades.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

It never has, and never will, coz Fat Donny doesn't do Learning.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago

He's demented.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 28 points 18 hours ago

"But amid the naked ambition behind Trump’s push for peace in Gaza, even those who have been highly critical of the war have hailed the deal as a major achievement."

It seems like they are celebrating too early. Getting the hostages back doesn't end the war. Once the hostages are returned, they'll go right back to genocide.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I think they should give a NPP to Little Marco, or Steve Witkoff (ewww..), just on the chance that maybe Donny 2 Weeks will stroke out in rage.... Or another to Obama, LOL.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

another to Obama

Donny still not got over that joke at the white house dinner. It would be hilarious to give Obama an award for services to immigration or golf.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

If they award the obese orange lard souffle a Nobel Peace Prize, then that will just be another achievement that's become meaningless. It would be like giving Hitler a Peace Prize for not invading Poland a bit earlier. And Donny 2 Inches body count is in the same magnitude as Adolfs, and still growing. Associating Hitlerpig with anything prestigous will demean and pervert it. EVERYTHING Donny 2 Dolls touches or is associated with, DIES !

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

Plenty of awful people have gotten a Nobel peace prize. A poster above listed like half a dozen of them.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Donny 2 Inches

Donny 2 Dolls

What are you even talking about at this point? lol

[–] arc99@lemmy.world 56 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (9 children)

I'm laughing that the committee awarded the prize to a Venezuelan. Trump is going to be raging all day - all caps screeching about how he deserved to win, how Maria Machado is a loser, about how many conflicts he resolved etc. His government is going to be striking out against Venezuela (despite the winner being an opponent of the regime), Norway and the Nobel Prize organization. Fox will be on a rage fest too and all his proxies too. I guarantee that we'll see esteemed members of Nobel getting detained at US borders, being deported etc because Trump is a sore loser little bitch.

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Hopefully it changes Machados mind on calling him a visionary

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 18 hours ago

I hadn't heard that they gave it to someone else until I read your post.

That's hilarious. Any day that Trump is unhappy is a good day. I love to see unhappy billionaires because they always thought their money would make them happy, and it doesn't. Their solution is that they'll finally be happy if they have even more.

Now we're going to have to hear him cry about it for the next year, like the world-class sore loser that he is. He'll probably try to get his followers to storm the Nobel HQ.

The bright side is that maybe he'll go around settling wars and conflicts around the world. Maybe we can steer his naked ambition to do some good.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Cool. How about them Epstein files? If you want a peace prize, they should be released to settle the matter finally. Then you can have your participation trophy Mr. Poopypants.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Yeppers. Childish tantrum incoming in 3....2.....

Just make a Nöbel Prize, throw a big fake ceremony and give him one, making sure it's bigger than the Nobel medal yet also make it of yellow shiny plastic.

[–] groet@feddit.org 3 points 12 hours ago

"Nö" is a very childish "nope" in German (maybe even also in Swedish I don't know) so a Nö-bel Prize would be very fiting

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

....then give a bigger one to Obama

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Look, Trump wanting what Obama had is how we are in this mess in the first place, you sure that's wise?

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The lard souffle will want real gold,

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

He doesn't even know all the shiny shit he put up in the white house came from Home Depot and got spray painted.

Why not offer a participation trophy called the ‚Noble Piece Prize‘? At his reading level he’ll not notice any difference and no one is going to tell him.

As it should be. It’s pathetic. Which is something Trump nows all about. Like diddling little kids.

Also, the fact an entire country is now fearing the turds petty revenge for not winning justifies him not winning.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 11 points 19 hours ago

To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.
