Since his return to power in January, Trump has been increasingly focused on the Nobel Peace Prize. He has claimed to have ended several conflicts around the world.

Experts, however, contest his claims.

Many world leaders and lawmakers are adopting a new tactic to stay in Trump's good graces — praising his peace efforts and nominating him for the Peace Prize.

Ah, so that wasn't brown lipstick she was wearing in that photo.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 91 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I really want someone by trumps side on his dying bed to say very loudly, "And you still didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, but Obama did."

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I can't believe this is all happening just because he was ridiculed at a correspondents dinner.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

And hitler was rejected from art school.

Dictators are extremely petty people.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 16 points 2 days ago

I know right? The pettiness knows no bounds!

[–] Kalon@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Its worth noting that Obama wanted to turn it down, but was told that turning it down would be insulting.

New category on bullshit?

She was a drummer who covered Metallica, and she rode a Kawasaki. So close to perfect.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 54 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Having people kiss his ass and give him free handouts to stay in his good graces is how Trump has been operating his entire life.

[–] xyzzy@lemmy.today 29 points 2 days ago

The new Japanese PM is an ultraconservative nationalist who is cozying up to Japan's version of MAGA. It's like Javier Milei in Argentina nominating him. They're on the same page.

"Oh boy, here I go working with white supremacist fascists again!"

[–] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Awful everything. At least Japanese people are protesting against Trump.

Like yay, Japan still likes us and I might be able to study abroad. But on the other hand, they've got a "women should be traditional" nutcase who thinks Trump is cool. Like nooooo. Stop. I'd rather you hate us.

What a nifty way to craft an improvised sawed off shotgun using basic materials you can find in a hardware store!

The tricky part is finding Saddam Hussein

[–] Nutteman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

He's right there in the damn picture, just take him

I want to see this valuable content

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

valuable content to build a gun?

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Valuable content to find Saddam Hussain, did you even look at the picture??

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For all you know he's a future Hitler. Just tell him his art looks nice.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Hitler ordered these photos destroyed. photographer secretly kept the negatives.

I think he looks cute in lederhosen.

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kim Jong Un should nominate Putin.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

AND vice versa

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

What a stupid loser (both of them)

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I guess that orange senile narcissist is begging anyone he meets to nominate him. He should be put into some dementia care home.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure! I hope every day someone takes him out. I guess by voicing my hopes about this every day around the internet I'm never going to the Nazi states of America ever again 😂 as I'm on persona non grata list!

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

good thing its called the united states of america.

im Canadian, i could care less what happens in the US. as long as their batshit 2nd admendment crap stays south of my border I'm chillin

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You don't care that your neighbor, the last remaining superpower of the world, with enough weapons to obliterate the planet, who own the global economy, is doing or that it is collapsing into a black hole of fascism?

I'm not even from that side of the planet, and I worry a lot.

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

Well the only thing I worry about is when they invade and I die defending Canada.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago

I wonder what the "deal" is here.

[–] 1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi@piefed.zip 11 points 2 days ago

“We don’t negotiate with terrorists and don’t give up to bullies^†^”

† when it suits us

[–] CountVlad47@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is the equivalent of "aww, don't worry buddy... you'll get it next time". In other words, how you might treat a child (apologies to any children for the comparison).

This negotiating tactic is particularly smart because even though it can be used to gain favor with Trump/US, the final decision of who gets the prize is out of their control so someone else can be blamed if he doesn't get it.

[–] Nutteman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Sorry but shes an ultra-conservative. She probably means it.

[–] CountVlad47@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of that.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Trumpchan can grab her by the pussy.

[–] somewhiteguy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

"I'm going to nominate my arms dealer for a Peace Prize" is an amazing idea. How can this ever go poorly?

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Shehbaz Sharif (Asim Munir) and Netanyahu already did; why are people trying to form a line for this lol

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, we all know what's in the Russian kompromat, Donnie, and what you really really want is the Nobel Piss Prize.

The only reason I won't piss on your grave once you're gone is because you'd no doubt enjoy it.

There's always dookie in the banana stand?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

more like peace of shit

[–] blave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I’ll believe it when I see it. And if I do happen to see it, I’ll still know it’s total bullshit.
