It eats at him that Obama got one. He can't stand it.
Given how the last decade has gone, I expect he will be given a Nobel prize.
He just magically gifts everything he wants. I hate it.
Dude is going to surrender Ukraine and claim to be a peacemaker, while sweetening the deal with a chunk of Alaska.
My prediction is that Putin will offer him Alaska in exchange for Canada, and Trump will grab it, without considering that Alaska isn't his to give away, nor is Canada Putin's.
a perfect place for Putin to build a road and put tanks so that Putin and Trump can divide up Canada.
I don't want it this way, since both Trump and Putin are total goobers, but it would be cool to have a rail and road bridge across the Bering Strait someday.
If the three major world powers (America, China, and Russia) ever sort out their authoritarian governments, it'd be neat to take a train across the world to Beijing.
They put trains on boats in Italy
Might be simpler to take it across the Atlantic
Share a border crossing with Russia? No thanks.
No, it wouldn't. It would be a vector for Russia to attack America.
The single biggest advantage that the US has had is the built in moats called The Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Putin is not a goober. Putin is an ex-KGB officer.
Did you not read their first sentence?
100%. Russia likes to control the countries on their borders, to act as a buffer against invasion. Better to defend you country on someone else's soil, and destroy their assets. We use the oceans for the exact same thing.
That is, until he deliberately made enemies of those on our direct borders. Next he will want to control those countries, because he will feel it is very important to controlling the borders.
And all these ideas are coming from Putin. After their meeting, expect HitlerPig to start spouting all sorts of nonsensical concepts that would be terrible for us, but great for Putin.
Can you at least give Canada a heads up when you start making it even easier for Trump and Putin to get our country from all sides at once? Thanks.
Why are no leaders playing him like a fiddle on this?
Ensure Russia ends the war with the same or less land than it started with and he's a dead cert
Reality doesn't matter to him so just string him along
And demand an award for how much better he is that anyone else at it.
What a loser.
Smell the desperation.
I just can't imagine being so immune to shame that I call to nominate myself for the Nobel Peace prize. Especially if I had raped children and it was widely known.
His psychotic parents deliberately never instilled any sense of shame, guilt, consequences, empathy, etc. in him. He is a remarkably broken human, an actual psychological specimen. He should be locked up, and studied by scientists. Very few people have had an upbringing that was literally tailored to create a psychopath.
He is mentally a four year old who has never progressed beyond the me, me, stage.
No no it was John Barron who called, not Trump.
That's the one where he holds his nose and talks
Well Obama (not bad guy, but had not really done anything Nobel price worthy) and Kissinger (really bad guy who had no commitment for peace, guite opposite should it be opportune for his view of US foreign policy) got the price also. Soooo from that point of view it isn't too crazy from Trump's view to desire one.
Of course takes guite shamelessness to propose oneself of course, but yeah. Wouldn't be even close to first time someone not deserving got Nobel peace price. Which is sad, since on the other hand very deserving people over the years have gotten it. Giving it to non deserving people diminishes the recognition it gives to the deserving ones.
What a weird, desperate loser.
Releasing the military upon his own people rubber stamps the award for him.
"lol, no." Jens Stoltenberg, probably.
“Yes, this is President . . ehh John Barron, . . yeah, that’s the ticket! And I’ve got a great candidate for you, for your fabulous bigly Famous Prize in Nobel . . . “
See if we can dig up Kissinger to present it to him.
I thought he didn't care about the NPP
This has to be an Onion piece. Surely...
The fact, that someone else as Trump even considered this, makes me ashamed to be human.
Another zany episode in the Horror Annals of the monster Donvict Trumpepstein.
