So, to you few MAGA survivors here (thank you, inflation reports and Epstein): Doesn't Trump's behavior in regards to the Nobel make you cringe? You can't see it as a clear symptom of other mental/emotional things gone hopelessly wrong?

That's pretty much the whole issue. He's really going to lose his ---- on October 10 when he doesn't get it.

Knowing Trump, he'll just make his own Peace Prize and give it to himself ~~ and (like everything Trump declares about himself) it will be the biggest and the most beautiful peace prize the world has ever seen.

So, Pres Trump trying to buy the Nobel Peace Prize?

Will he also ask for the permission to build a Trump hotel in Oslo?

Not "buy." It's more like one of Trump's other lack of good character traits . . . BLACKMAIL!

He's so desperate for adulation and respect that he is willing to humiliate himself and his country on a daily basis around the world. For all his tough talk and bluster, he's actually an appallingly weak and insecure man.

Der dotard is a Shoo-in for the Neville Chamberlain award for cowardice and idiocy in the face of an existential threat ...

It's got to be infuriating the spoiled brat that he can't get what he wants.

Maybe Putin can help him.

"Maybe Putin can help him."

Putin IS helping him, evidenced by that phony, so called summit meeting in Alaska that gave Trump a lot of creds as a peacekeeper for the Nobel Peace Prize committee to consider.

creds as a peacekeeper for the Nobel Peace Prize committee to consider.

I doubt the consideration will take long. Everyone on the planet knows the only reason Lewzer talks about "Peace" is because he wants the prize, not because he gives a ---- about ending conflicts.

True. Trump's been slinging that "peacemaker" poo about himself for weeks.

The Nobel committee would have to be pretty naive not to recognize a phony sales pitch when they see it.

As President he couldn't even make the cover on Time magazine. That's another one of his pet peeves considering that Obama made the cover at least a couple dozen times.

And Hillary Clinton at least that much.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if the Nobel Peace Prize went to Zelenskyy?

LOL ~ Trump would get diarrhea of the mouth and try to buy Norway.
