Trump's Nobel Prize desperation now a 'running joke' among diplomats

He's peacefully murdering people in international waters.

So much peace. Big peace.
- 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.
- Bigly peacful

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.

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.
- 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.

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

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

i wish he was directly and unambiguously mocked a lot more

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.

I agree with everything but the last sentence. There is a huge percentage of the population that are dumbasses
He knows he'll never see the inside of a jail cell. He knows he doesnt have the decade or so that trial would take, even if the house and senate magically flipped this midterm and the dems were able to impeach him and his court.
He just wants the accolades before he dies.
You mean they stole it from him? Like the election?
- Oh yeah. Anything the orange lard ass fails to win, is stolen. Anything he wins, he cheated.
  The only thing the corpulent cunt deserves, is a grave plot in the back of the prison yard. I hope he wins one of those soon.

I think they should give a NPP to Little Marco, or Steve Witkoff (ewww..), just on the chance that maybe Donny 2 Weeks will stroke out in rage.... Or another to Obama, LOL.

another to Obama
Donny still not got over that joke at the white house dinner. It would be hilarious to give Obama an award for services to immigration or golf.

If they award the obese orange lard souffle a Nobel Peace Prize, then that will just be another achievement that's become meaningless. It would be like giving Hitler a Peace Prize for not invading Poland a bit earlier. And Donny 2 Inches body count is in the same magnitude as Adolfs, and still growing. Associating Hitlerpig with anything prestigous will demean and pervert it. EVERYTHING Donny 2 Dolls touches or is associated with, DIES !

Plenty of awful people have gotten a Nobel peace prize. A poster above listed like half a dozen of them.
Donny 2 Inches
Donny 2 Dolls
What are you even talking about at this point? lol

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

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.
- It never has, and never will, coz Fat Donny doesn't do Learning.
He's demented.

"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.

Just make a Nöbel Prize, throw a big fake ceremony and give him one, making sure it's bigger than the Nobel medal yet also make it of yellow shiny plastic.

"Nö" is a very childish "nope" in German (maybe even also in Swedish I don't know) so a Nö-bel Prize would be very fiting
....then give a bigger one to Obama
- Look, Trump wanting what Obama had is how we are in this mess in the first place, you sure that's wise?
The lard souffle will want real gold,
- He doesn't even know all the shiny shit he put up in the white house came from Home Depot and got spray painted.
The noble prize?

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.

Hopefully it changes Machados mind on calling him a visionary
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.
Yeppers. Childish tantrum incoming in 3....2.....
Cool. How about them Epstein files? If you want a peace prize, they should be released to settle the matter finally. Then you can have your participation trophy Mr. Poopypants.
Oh Trump is gonna be a little mean bitch girl about this for sure.
- Why am I seeing so many comments with the word removed? Is there some filter in this instance tagging very specific words?
because Trump is a sore loser little bitch.
I think it's worse than that. His cult members are sore for him. Trump probably won't flag everyone he wants detained, but his disciples will do it for him to please daddy.
Not that I think Trump's not petty enough, I think he's not capable enough.

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.

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.

They have ignobel prizes.
I like the idea but I must say it's going to be hard to hold our noses and proclaim anything he does to be "noble" even for the sake of the joke.
- How about the Mobile Pizza Prize, a baby mobile with golden pizza slices on it?

Obama still living in his head rent free

And Obama's drone strikes live rent free in the minds of an entire generation of people in the middle east. Still weird as fuck that he got a peace prize, but it would be much weirder if Trump received one.
- Indeed. That any imperialist ruler or diplomat gets a peace prize is absurd. Especially from the USA, but any big power would also be absurd.
- I was wondering about that as well so I looked into the dates. Apparently Obama got the award in October 9, 2009, and some of the first controversial drone strikes under his administration were in March and April of 2009. Dude came out the gate drone striking and the Nobel Committee just ignored it.
- Nobody has made a stronger argument of Obama's unworthiness as the man himself: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-acceptance-nobel-peace-prize

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

Y’all got any more of them Nobel Peace Prizes?

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

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

I think it'll be similar to Nixon. They were similar people, anyway.
It will be (and already is) much, much worse than just an embarrassment.
- We will be lucky if we have a democracy after his term.
  It looks like he’s reforming the government so that it follows the dictates of the President who is wholly owned by the billionaire oligarchs of the world.
Probably not if there is another civil war or the nation balkanizes.
- That civil war is a few years late.
  Not going to happen, everybody's glued to TVs and social media, too bothersome to get out of the couch and do something.

If he did his campaign promises of ending the wars in Ukraine and Gaza with his first week, he might’ve had a shot.

But no, he decides to divide and antagonize.

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

Overgrown toddler mentality. He doesn't use logic, doesn't consider other people, fairness, accomplishments, optics, etc. He just wants it, hasn't been told 'no' enough, and has Big Feelings about it...
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
- 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.
He’s basically a grown up Varuka Salt
- He’s basically a ~~grown up~~ older Varuka Salt
  FTFY
- The weird prototype gum ended in a orange Creamsicle instead of a blueberry pie, apparently.
He could always resign?
his mind became mush from all that cocaine abuse, to the point hes permanently incontinent.
He knows he's dying and is having an end of life crisis. He desperately wants to be liked by the same type of cunts that pick nobel piece prices as sail on mega yatchs before he starts getting fucked in the ass by Satan.
- pineapple, in his case, it would be a very LARGE DURIAN.

He's actually done a phenomenal job of redefining the limits of USA politics. I mean, he's completely destroying our country, and at a rate that even I have to acknowledge is kind of impressive, despite being horrifying.

Sadly, I don't think they give out the Nobel for that. But maybe we can get him one of those trophies little kids get for playing sports.

Maybe instead of a Nobel, there's national scale Darwin Awards?
Best case scenario for this worse case reality.
Not actually trying to sum it all up in a quick phrase. This here is just a late night kinda one of those “Yo, that sounds right” kind of thingy things. If you wanna bust my ball sac, let’s talk sports. I hope we are all on the same side politically speaking. If not politically on the same page then your mother is a Munt.

Narcissism is scary and ridiculous thing. I actually know a guy who desperately wants to get a Nobel Literary Prize because "he deserves it!". Except no one rightfully gives a fuck. He's an old timer who ended up migrating to US after WW2 with a whole can of worms and then some regarding his national identity. Depending on his mood he's either Ukrainian or American, I'd say he's 100% narcissist who is all about clout. Dude never made it as a writer and gained notoriety in Ukraine due to his outsider status first and yet he's so vain it is kinda morbidly funny - like he insists he's the most experimental Ukrainian writer (even though he disregards every other writer as primitive and retarded) or that he did this or that first (like who gives a fuck?). But even with all these "accomplishments" he struggles to publish anything in Ukraine because wants publishers to cover the expenses and give him "the bag" for their trouble and when he fails at that he blames it on "Ukrainian people being ungrateful".

Could we use his narcissism in a productive way?

What if we get it in his head that he hasn’t built any pyramid yet. At his age, Khufu had probably completed and was buried in his pyramid; the one that is still visible today, five millennia later. Where is Trump’s? What legacy will he leave us? He needs to start building asap

Once he gets convinced and starts appropriating funds for that, we only talk about that. Non stop. That way he doesn’t make any progress on his fascist agenda. Just a narcissist tar pit.

What could go wrong? Worst case scenario we have an American pyramid that is not a casino or a hunting and fishing store.

I have a feeling you've had a narcissist as a boss
- Not really when I think of it. Maybe I have narcissist tendencies??
- Jesus Christ tells us to love each other. Even the sick and the mad, we should love. Turning a mental disorder into an insult isn't what Jesus would want. Jesus would be friends with people who have narcissistic personality disorder, because they're society's rejects, and because Elohim has been for six thousand years the god for the oppressed.
Does his crypto scam count as a pyramid scheme? If so there's his pyramid.
- He will be buried under a bunch of GPUs and hard drives, where his wealth resides
Average age of someone during Khufus lifetime was 25-40 For a pharoh your probably looking at 40-50 Khufu died at 43
- Oh thanks I was looking for that info! Wow trump could have had two pyramids by now, look at that!
- I guess Trump is overdue then...
He has Trump towers.
The hunting and fishing store pyramid at least is cool and has a nice view.

The Nobel Peace Prize -once granted by a jury of scholars- has been given by politicians to other politicians for years now and has become just as worthless as you'd expect. Trump should definitely have one, just because he likes golden things so much. Maybe they should create a special category, the Trump Nobel Peace Prize, just as the economists did with their "Nobel prize" for economy (or whatever). The latter is not a Nobel prize at all, but who cares. Maybe put double gold on it or better put two medals and extra cheese in a burger roll. I bet Trump would like that,

Ah, the good old "Swedish Central Bank Prize For Economics In Honor Of Alfred Nobel", for which they use the shortname "Nobel Prize For Economics".
The whole thing neatly reflects the honesty of the profession.
- But the prize in economics is awarded by the Nobel Foundation. It's a real Nobel prize, just not one of the original ones
Prediction: He loses this year and starts his own peace prize.
- I was not aware that you could "lose" the Nobel Prize.
- Nah, one of his psycho followers with a tongue so far up his ass they can taste his boogers will create it for him, trying to suck up. Just like all the other absolutely insanely bizarre shit they’ve been saying/doing/trying for the last few months.

Yeah, like they're going to give the Peace Prize to the guy that renamed the Department of Defense, the Department of WAR. Hard to imagine a worse mixed message.

TBF it does what it says on the tin. American hasn't fought a defensive war in decades, arguably since WWII.
- Easier to argue that even WWII wasn't a defensive war (not that I think we should have stayed out of it, just that everything since then has been for sure us causing problems).
- Korea. US troops were totally caught with their pants down and nearly got routed.

Think he'd notice if he got a special Ig Nobel prize?

The thing is, even the IgNobel prizes are for actual contribution. Trump doesn't even deserve THAT.
Give him one in physics and make it the sort of thing only an absolute moron would think is praise, like for his unique demonstration of angular posture; or in normal speak because he leans like a Pisan tower at a Houston rap concert
- Give him a theoretical prize in physics
- For best genes, because of nuclear. From his uncle.
  No, it doesn't need to make grammatical sense, just give it to him.

Should get the Nobill Prize since he never pays.

Or the Noballs prize since TACO.

Want to read something even more ridiculous? Israelis nominate radical settler leader Daniella Weiss for Nobel Peace Prize

That's not ridiculous, that's par for the course and just another PR trick.
She, of course, never had a chance. The prize was rigged from the start because of Norway’s notorious antisemitism
- Lemmy users out here proving sarcasm tags necessary even as they hate on them
- Is that why over 20% of all recipients of a Nobel prize have at least one Jewish parent?
- Or you know, maybe it was the fact she is a leader in something a majority of the world considers a war crime?
- Shit's so bad nowadays I can't tell if /s or not and am too lazy to check post history to see if it's a funny human or an IDF bot :'(
- Or you know anti-genocide policies 🙄
- 22% of Nobel laureates have been Jewish you ding dong.

Thin skinned snowflake is literally trying to start wars WITH STATES because they told him and his fascists to fuck off...

That child rapist deserves jail time, not a peace prize.

States' Rights

lol he can’t stand that Obama, the man who okayed drone striking civilians, got one and he didn’t

I've seen some people say Obama should get yet another prize this year just to fuck with Trump and I'm in full agreement.
- Give it to Greta Thunberg
- I didn’t agree with him getting the award initially, but I am 100% on board with him getting a second.
- I'd like to see them give it to someone else called Donald just so they can do a dramatic pause when they read it out
Obama got it early in 2009, before any of that happened. Obviously prematurely and hopefully a lesson for the committee.
- The drone strike on Pakistan happened before he won
  The White House released long-awaited figures last July on the number of people killed in drone strikes between January 2009 and the end of 2015, an announcement which insiders said was a direct response to pressure from the Bureau and other organisations that collect data. However the US’s estimate of the number of civilians killed – between 64 and 116 – contrasted strongly with the number recorded by the Bureau, which at 380 to 801 was six times higher.
  https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2017-01-17/obamas-covert-drone-war-in-numbers-ten-times-more-strikes-than-bush

Maybe he should send the National Guard to Norway to help protect the prize.

this can be dealt with
After the Nazi invasion of Denmark this placed them in danger; it was illegal at the time to send gold out of Germany, and were it discovered that Laue and Franck had done so, they could have faced prosecution. To prevent this, de Hevesy concealed the medals by dissolving them in aqua regia and placing the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_de_Hevesy#World_War_II_and_beyond

Seems like they should just keep dangling that shiny object infront of him. Some good could come of it maybe?

I'm absolutely for him getting the Nobel Prize after he dies. The award would be for the peace his death brought...

posthumous reward, or postHUMUS(like the dirt and not the dipping)
I'd like to see him get the Nobel Prize in Experimental Physics, possibly expanding our understanding of the ability to go to lots of places at once

He's like Scooby Doo who would do anything for a Scooby Snack, or Kel who would do anything for orange soda.

Except Trump won't do anything. Like he literally won't do anything. He'll just say he did something amazing and then shit his diaper and retreat back into his mansion.

If Norway just created a Noble Prize, would he notice the difference? And if you surprised him with it in person, no one could ever point out that it wasn't the Nobel prize as trump can't stand to ever be wrong so he'd say that's the one he really wanted all along.

Problem solved, someone can nominate me for the second Noble prize.

Good job, big guy.

Thank you AI. So pointless, but definitely amusing at times.
When the slop hits just right.
FRIENDNHP
- There's so much I love about this AI generated photo and that was definitely one of the big ones.

a running joke?

Bruh, he can barely waddle.

Everyone has free speech ... as long as they say what he wants to hear

At some point the stupidity will also infect this body.

Trump is a joke. Period... Period.. period.

The great thing about electing Republicans is that the rest of the world doesn't laugh at us when one is in charge.

Does this /s make my butt look big?

What worries me is what he will do after he doesn't win that prize and is no longer incentivised to maintain that extremely superficial pretense of "peace" that he's already awful at.

"hours before the European group will decide the award recipient"

They think they make the decision same day as the announcement... LOL.

The winner has already been picked.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/dampening-trumps-chances-nobel-institute-says-peace-committee-finalized-its-pick-on-monday/

"The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awards the prestigious peace prize, held its final meeting on Monday, the Nobel Institute said Thursday, a day ahead of the announcement of the 2025 laureate.

This means a decision was made about the laureate or laureates before the conclusion of an agreement between Israel and Hamas,"

Oh, well, maybe they'll remember him next year.
Then he's going to throw such a tantrum for the next year...

He would most definitely win the Nobel Sleaze Prize

So pathetic that this headline feels like some kind of win.

It is a truly meaningless prize if people like Obama and Kissinger can win it.

I mean, Obama winning was silly but it's nowhere near the same level of complete absurdity of Kissinger getting it.
it's almost like it's a meaningless prize only meant to pave over the legacy of the man who invented TNT.

Can we make an Ignoble Peace Prize and give that to him instead?

The Ig Nobels already have an occasional peace prize (the exact list of prizes changes year to year) but they're far too cool for Trump to get one.
The 2025 peace prize went to "Fritz Renner, Inge Kersbergen, Matt Field, and Jessica Werthmann, for showing that drinking alcohol sometimes improves a person's ability to speak in a foreign language"

Maybe we should give him a Nobel in economics.

He showed that the worlds economy isn't a glass house that suddenly implodes if somebody looks at it the wrong way.

We've had this clown running his tariff circus for a while and no financial Armageddon or world wide recession.

APPEASEMENT NEVER WORKS.
It hasn’t even been a year.
