    God it fucking burns him so bad that Obama got one and he didn’t.

    Obama didn’t even deserve a peace prize, the guy did more drone strikes than Bush, but just for the fact that it upsets Trump so much I say they should give him another one.

      Makes me wonder though if Bush wouldn’t’ve used more drones if they were cheaper and readily available earlier in his presidency. At the time, they were still incredibly expensive and unreliable.

      No one in government cares how many collateral deaths there are when drones are used, as long as it reduces the number of Americans returning home in boxes. Keeping the voters happy is always the priority.

      Republicans are so terrible that Obama was given a Nobel peace prize early into his first term just for not being a republican

      My one single satisfaction that I take from Turnip is despite having everything including some otherworldly luck - he will never be satisfied or appreciate any of it. What a sad and pathetic life and the only kind of life a sad fuck like him deserves.

      Of course Obama did more drone strikes than Bush - drones were barely a thing during the Bush years. The technology only became practical, cost effective, and mass produced during Obama’s term.

    He doesn’t understand how anything works. You can question his intelligence, and there’s the dementia, but most of all, it’s his ignorance that stands out.

    This is an opportunity. Somebody needs to tell him that pulling the leash on Israel would guarantee the prize. We could have a parade at the awards ceremony. Red carpet, real celebrities, and everything.

    It would still only be the second most embarrassing Peace Prize given to a sitting president.

    Remember.

    Trump is obsessed with Nobel prizes, because Obama got one… and Trump is a small, tiny, jealous, insecure little man with an YUGE inferiority complex.

      Obama made a joke at Trumps expense once and now Trump will do anything to one up him and erase Obama’s accomplishments as president

        No matter how much spray tan he uses, he could never take away Obama’s achievement of being the FIRST president of color.

        The only thing he’s accomplishing is that people fondly remember Obama and want him back.

    I hope he lives just long enough for them to give a Nobel prize to whoever fixes the humanitarian nightmares he’s creating. He deserves to see all his bullshit unravel in front of him.

    He’s such an ideal Bond villain. Unfortunately there was never a Bond film featuring the villain being a president because no one could imagine something so outlandishly heinous. Speaks to the quality of this timeline.

    He should win the opposite of a Nobel Prize. Like how the razzies (which he has won a few of) are the opposite of oscars.

    “I deserve all the Nobel prizes in a most bigly way! Literature, Art Of The Deal is a masterpiece! Very good. Math and economics, I knew exactly how much to borrow from the Saudis! Frankly I’m very smart. Physics, medicine, who needs that woke crap? Bleach cures everything! I’m pretty sure I’m the greatest man who ever lived. All real Americans think the Nobel Prize should just be called the Trump Prize, believe me.”

    the only way that fucking idiot should get one is if he jumped into a wood chipper and amid the global celebration, a sustainable peace broke out.
