a quarter war stopped, lol

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Really it's 65 eighth wars stopped, but they rounded up to the nearest quarter

[–] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You know what, may as well round up for ease of calculation and say he stopped 100 wars.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So he wants a participation trophy.

He wants to be loved, admired, and feared.

Because he is a sad joke.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago

"Trump says" Welp, I'm done reading.

The guy who just committed an act of war against a foreign government, is threatening to violently seize land from another one, and put armed thugs in the streets of his own country who murdered a woman in cold blood a mere two days ago wants a Nobel Peace Prize.

That's the joke.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Brother you just became a war criminal by starting a war. Nows not the time.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

DEI Nobel prize

[–] RamRabbit@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

If he would flood weapons into Ukraine and force Russia to retreat, I would give his words some thought.

But all I see is him hanging allies out to dry and starting/threatening new conflicts.

[–] darkmarx@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'd nominate him for one if he resigns.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Honestly, might be the most "peace promoting" thing he could do. Second only to keeling over.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No way, his administration is full of sycophants who would continue his evil deeds and they're much younger so would probably do more damage.

[–] anytimesoon@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

But could any of them get the whole maga movement to rally behind them? The whole thing depends on the cult of trump's personality. With him gone, the whole movement will fracture as the different factions scramble to take control

How much more does he have to wait then?

[–] aturtlesdream@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I am so tired of this timeline, evrything is just so stupid and shitty

[–] retreaux@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I came here to post almost word for word this exact sentiment I wasn't prepared with Idiocracy crossed with the the 4th Reich. I mean all the roadmap led us here but God it's so much stupider than I imagined it would be.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] aturtlesdream@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Um I have no idea what I just watched but thanks!

It's a Frank Reyonds quote from Always Sunny at least that where I got it from

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fucking asshole, Hitler more likely to receive noble peace prizes than this piece of shit

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well to be fair, Hitler was worse but the fact that we keep comparing him to Hitler is pretty messed up...

[–] Hazor@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hitler was worse so far. I do believe the only thing that might prevent Trump from becoming as bad on a numbers basis is his deteriorating health. I'm not entirely confident that someone won't be able to pick up wherever he leaves off, though.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

hitlers health was also deteriorating too, but he was hopped up on so much meth, it made it seem like he was active and healthy.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 5 points 2 months ago

And Trump's adderall addiction is....
Different?

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The one thing is that none of the rest of his administration generates the kind of support he does. Remember, Trump's numbers went down when he put JD Vance on the ticket.

I think now Republicans in congress wouldn't have an issue with fighting Vance.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Which is why MAGA will die with Trump. It's a Cult of Personality. Nobody really believe in the philosophical tenets of MAGA, because they are entirely Trump's whim.

Once he assumes room temperature, the knives will come out, and the backstabbing will begin, and since these psychos are so narcissistic that they will never surrender to each other, and they will keep backstabbing until they're they've ended themselves.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, they'll start fighting each other for control of the party.

Meanwhile the true believers will continue to vote for Trump, because there will be some idiotic conspiracy theory that he's still alive and running again.

But, while I agree MAGA will die, as AOC said a while back, the conditions that set him up for this continue to exist.

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I can't even begin to understand the severity of his personality disorder to be able to say something so absurd and disingenuous in public and completely without shame. The fucking gall, at a time like this, with his recent actions and rhetoric. I'm speechless.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Did he mean to say "start" and it came out as solved?

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

He meant the quarter pounder he finished

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Mass murders, mass kidnappings, domestic and foreign terrorism, invasions, and threatened invasions are so brave and peaceful.

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

A Nobel Peace Prize should be given on the spot to the person that will impale his severed head on a pitchfork.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

What about the ones that you're starting?

[–] Diddlydee@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

None. He has solved none. Temporary ceasefires are not an end to it.

[–] X@piefed.world 6 points 2 months ago

“Trump says—“ So I wonder if that upcoming Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is going to be good. Sure hope so.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And him saying that screams "beta bitch".

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I'm kind of curious how high he'll go with that count. He randomly increases it, so now I have this morbid fascination with seeing where it ends.

[–] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Was the FIFA Peace Prize not good enough?

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

He also said that he is not pedophile.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 3 points 2 months ago

He’s going to be given or will steal Machado’s peace prize and will crow non-stop about winning it. Another, aggrievement based, ego-soothing tour is on the books.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

Participation trophies were invented for dipshits like this.

[–] CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

But “Biden or Kamala would be the same…” blah blah blah…

[–] dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 months ago

He's like: do you Canada and Cambodia in a war against each other? You are welcome.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

How about an igNobel prize?/Although it could pass as an insult to the institution behind those awards. Because they have standards. Low. But still.
