    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.

        I think that’s a feature, more money for Lockmart and Raytheon, line go up.

        as long as it reduces the number of Americans returning home in boxes

        As long as it appears like they do. I don’t think they give a fuck about their soldiers, otherwise they wouldn’t have sent them to Asia to die.

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

      Ha yeah for his peace efforts in the Middle East (or Near East for us Europeans) just to fuck up Trump more.

      God he’s so cringe “they only give them to liberals 😭” no they are

      granted in accordance with the principle of “for the greatest benefit to humankind”

      at which conservatives fail because they ultimately only benefit themselves.

      Also I agree Obama didn’t deserve them but at least he also gives at this fact himself and didn’t wear it when he ordered drone strikes on wedding ceremonies while you can bet Trump would wear it on the toilet even

      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.

      Explain why drones are any worse than any other kind of weapon. The people who get blown up are just as dead regardless.

        Drones remove a human being from the chain, making it easier to kill more people more often because it’s less real

          This is anecdotal, but 22 years ago I attended an event where the US Air Force proudly played a video of a Predator drone strike. I was a teenager who avidly gamed, and felt horror at what I was forced to witness because I knew these were real people who were dying agonizing deaths

          To this day I still feel the same emotions when I think of it, and I can’t listen to Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” because that’s the song they played to accompany the footage

          Yeah I’m not sure this is true, though I imagine it’s only a matter of time. Anecdotally, but I know a guy who definitely has PTSD from, among other things, watching onscreen as such an automated weapon of war homed in on two combatants fleeing, closing in until finally one of them, looking over his shoulder directly at the camera, gave up and stopped running immediately before death.

      Five more, so Obama has one more than Trump thinks he’s earned.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      If Trump would rein Israel in and stop the Gaza genocide and the war with Iran, and would put something tangible on the table to guarantee a two-state peaceful solution (like a DMZ with UN troops), I would think that despite his everything, I’d be okay to have him get a Peace Prize.

      Stupid thing is, he is really in a position that no president in the past 5 decade at least found himself in, where he could actually do that with impunity, as he doesn’t need Israeli funding to get reelected, and he doesn’t give a fuck about getting anyone in his party reelected either.

      Of course, this would need Trump to be both brave and smart, which he is not.

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

    He could try running the Russians out of Ukraine, stop Israel genociding and restarting USAID in Sudan, saving millions of lifes. There are many projects he could take on. But he is not even trying. It’s difficult, i know. But if you want a medal; you need to at least participate.

    I’ve heard that the Nobel people were thinking about giving Trump one in two weeks … but they are going to wait until the last second to decide.
