He wasn't a running joke before?

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 9 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

I don't think he's run in his life.

Wheezing orange man

What about running after underage women?

[–] nuxi@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

He's more of an ambush predator than a pursuit predator.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 1 points 14 hours ago

Gods, I hope they can run.

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.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

They all come up to me and stop and they say sir, I'm sorry to hear you lost the prize to a very nasty person. A real nasty person. I hear she didn't even win in her own country you know, and I shake my head and I say it's too bad, the state of things. A big shame. You know who else was big? Palmer. Let me tell you about palmer ...

Bigly peacful

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Yeah well the person the Nobel committee gave it to is a Trump supporter and wants the US to intervene in Venezuelan politics. They gave it it Trump by proxy even if he is too stupid to realize it.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sleepundertheleaves@infosec.pub 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 6 points 1 day 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 24 points 1 day ago

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

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 56 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

He's demented.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day 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

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 day ago

i wish he was directly and unambiguously mocked a lot more

[–] arc99@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day 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.

"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.

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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 1 day ago

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

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.

His legacy will have been that of having been the biggest embarrassment in American history.

He is truly removed from reality if he thinks he deserves the Nobel peace prize.

[–] CandleTiger@programming.dev 84 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don’t think deserving things (or not) is really a relevant consideration for people like that. They just have things that they want for whatever reason and the power (or not) to have them

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 57 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Remember how Putin stole a Super Bowl ring from Bob Kraft? He just asked to look at it then walked out of the room with it. I bet Trump would do exactly the same thing with a Nobel medal if he had the chance.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 42 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Trump did nearly the same thing with some young injured military guy's Purple Heart. Trump told him much he admired it, obviously fishing, so the guy offered it to Trump, probably never imagining that Trump would actually take it.

Instead, Trump said "I've always wanted one of these!" And kept it.

Well, he's considered a fucking joke everywhere outside of his cult

One that ceased to be funny a very long time ago

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

And yet .... not many seems to take offense of this sorry joke and still try to please him up to a certain level.

[–] bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It would be very spicy to see Zelensky or Thunberg get it this year.

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 1 day ago

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

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago

Even if this pause on Israeli imperialism lasts, he's simultaneously extrajudicially bombing foreign civilians, on purpose, in international waters. And bragging about it.
