Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, July 26, 2025

Donald Trump said on Saturday that he had called the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand, pressing them for an immediate ceasefire following border clashes. At the beginning of a private visit to his Scottish golf courses, the US president wrote on Truth Social that both nations "have agreed to immediately meet and quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE!" Both countries thanked him for his concern and efforts. Cambodia has accepted his request for a ceasefire, while Thailand stressed the need for a dialogue between the two countries.

After the US president's calls, however, shelling continued along the border overnight. The response from the prime ministers of Thailand and Cambodia to Trump's phone calls has been positive, yet neither has changed its position. Cambodia had already proposed a ceasefire; its military is weaker than Thailand's and it has been losing ground and equipment to the Thai artillery bombardments and air strikes.

Trump seems to be unaware that he is the brunt of private jokes among leaders of other countries.

And that his insincere (read self-serving) approach to "negotiating" has destroyed anything that was left of America's former powerful influence to quell outbreaks or conflicts elsewhere in the world.

Trump's America is no longer a trusted intermediary.

To get a Nobel Peace Prize a president has to be more like President Obama.

Making a phone call between rounds of golf just screams 'I don't really give a F.'

The bloviating bore needs to get over it. There is nothing he has done while in office to warrant anything beyond a self-awarded gold spray-painted Oscar Meyer Weiner Whistle. The old boy apparently thinks he deserves a Nobel. Just for being his wretchedly miserable self? Paging Baker, Baker Act.

Trump's not going to "get over it."

He thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. His ego tells himself that every day.

Everybody is wrong but him. The clinical terms for that escapes me at this early hour of the a.m. but I'm sure there are some . . . probably a couple truckloads.

He was nominated for one before he took office, unless you think someone nominated him less than 14 days into his term.

More from the article in #17 ...

... Even before the election, Obama had advocated dialogue and cooperation across national, ethnic, religious and political dividing lines. As President, he called for a new start to relations between the Muslim world and the West based on common interests and mutual understanding and respect. In accordance with a promise he made during his election campaign, he set in motion a plan for the withdrawal of U.S. occupying forces from Iraq.

During his first year in power, President Obama showed himself to be a strong spokesman for human rights and democracy, and as a constructive supporter of the work being done to put effective measures in place to combat the climate crisis. This is in line with his appeal: "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges". ...

Nominated and awarded are not the same thing. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

Well, actually I'm not.

All of the above is vital, historical information were we in a courtroom or a student of history and it's good to keep history alive and foremost in our memories.

However, what we have before us now is the President of the United States, Donald Trump, a White Nationalist, is green with envy that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a black man.

Yes, a black man. Untenable in the eyes of a White Nationalist.

And that's the crux of Trump's plan to correct history . . . . if only he knew how.
