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.

Bigly peacful

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

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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 6 days ago

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

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

He's demented.

[–] arc99@lemmy.world 59 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (6 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.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Oh Trump is gonna be a little mean bitch girl about this for sure.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 6 days 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.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Hopefully it changes Machados mind on calling him a visionary

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

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.

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.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 6 days ago

i wish he was directly and unambiguously mocked a lot more

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 28 points 6 days ago

"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.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He wasn't a running joke before?

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

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

[–] alphabethunter@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

What about running after underage women?

[–] nuxi@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

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

Obama still living in his head rent free

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago (5 children)

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.

[–] fluxx@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

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.

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

[–] hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago

They have ignobel prizes.

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days 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 6 days ago

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

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

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 days ago

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 10 points 6 days ago

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

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Give him a theoretical prize in physics

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.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

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

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (5 children)

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.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

....then give a bigger one to Obama
