"Why does Old Senescent even count "sh*thole countries" in his embarrassing quest for a golden gong?

You answered your own question.

For short term bragging that he hoped (by non-stop repeating) would reach the ears of the Nobel Committee.

Trump is fighting demons in his own head.

Being recognized by the Nobel is the ultimate in presidential achievements.

The fact that Barack Obama has a Nobel and he doesn't is driving Trump nuttier than usual. Trump is so accustomed to lying, cheating, bribing, hoaxing and scamming his way through life, it never occurs to him to accomplish anything honestly.

His other problem is that the thinks everybody is just like him ~ thus the constant projections about others being liars, cheaters and hoaxers.

REIN

The bottom line is Trump's childish jealousy that derives him to wanton destruction. He is, by nature, also self-destructive.

Right now, his head is about to explode with the sense of power he thinks he's amassing combined with the terrify fear of losing it.

But the end is near. The fissures are visible.

I don't think we can count on Trump taking his own life. It's not due to cowardice but rather his fear that somebody else will get all his money.

Too late, SCOTTY.

The Nobel Peace Prize has already been awarded to someone who didn't try to lie, cheat and attempt to bribe the Nobel Committee.

No one is surprised. Honesty is something Trump doesn't understand. Like a spoiled brat, (who seriously needs a trip to the woodshed) he has already hurled accusations of dishonesty at the Committee.

This is to what I was referring:

"The user is likely referring to recent events where some world leaders nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the prize after he brokered various peace deals, in what some observers described as a way to curry favor with him or "the way to his heart". Some of these nominations were explicitly linked to the expectation of quid pro quo benefits, such as a transit corridor or favorable trade relations."

We may never know who was bribing whom, but Trump is usually the one with his thumb on the scale.

Thanks to you, too. I could have been more clear. I just assumed everybody knew. My mistake.

To continue,I doubt that this issue is over.

Knowing with whom the Nobel Committee is dealing, I hope they're girding their loins for next year. Trump never forgets and never forgives. Case in evidence, he's still nursing his loss in the 2020 election like a it's a festering boil.

I think the Committee's funding is secure but, knowing Trump, he'll find some way to destroy the illustrious honor of the Award.

"he'll find some way to destroy the illustrious honor of the Award.

Knowing Trump penchant for revenge, he'll sic his dogs on a Committee member to fabricate some dirt to claim the 2025 award was wrought with fraud.

Anything to vindicate himself.

I predicted many years ago on this site that Trump's tombstone would say "BUT I REALLY WON!" ~ LOL

He's rackin'em up.

"I'd rather the President take his job and the constitution seriously faithfully enforce the Law and not destroy lives and property and not kill anyone or let people die than have anyone "win" anything."

Join the club. What you're asking for is the exact opposite of everything Trump stands for.

He'll give up when they throw the last shovel full of dirt on his grave. . . . or he gets locked up in a rubber room, whichever comes first.
