Trump complained to reporters that he should have been awarded as many as five Nobel Peace Prizes by now, but says they're only given "to liberals."

    Maybe he should shoot for something more attainable for someone of his capability, like a Darwin award

      Isn’t he out of contention since he has already reproduced?

    He doesn’t understand how anything works. You can question his intelligence, and there’s the dementia, but most of all, it’s his ignorance that stands out.

    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.

    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.

      Obama made a joke at Trumps expense once and now Trump will do anything to one up him and erase Obama’s accomplishments as president

        No matter how much spray tan he uses, he could never take away Obama’s achievement of being the FIRST president of color.

        The only thing he’s accomplishing is that people fondly remember Obama and want him back.

    Unfortunately, they don’t hand them out for being the biggest dipshit around. He would have won way more than five by now if that was the case.

    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.

        You still have to put in some real work to win one of those. They don’t just hand them out for whining in the media.

      They have the Ignoble Awards but I don’t think he qualifies for that either.

    “I deserve all the Nobel prizes in a most bigly way! Literature, Art Of The Deal is a masterpiece! Very good. Math and economics, I knew exactly how much to borrow from the Saudis! Frankly I’m very smart. Physics, medicine, who needs that woke crap? Bleach cures everything! I’m pretty sure I’m the greatest man who ever lived. All real Americans think the Nobel Prize should just be called the Trump Prize, believe me.”
