    The questions is: When will Trump make his claims for Norway to protect them from Russia and China?

  2. What kind of a person would try and steal a Nobel Peace Prize? That’s pretty damn sad.

  3. I wonder what the rules are for the prestigious FIFA peace prize, surely those are even more strict. I’m assuming nobody but the receiver is even allowed to lay eyes upon it after the ceremony.

  4. Is this part of the reason he invaded Venezuela? So he could extort a hand-me-down Nobel?

    Trump’s major goal in life seems to be to outdo the last stupid thing he did.

  6. But I really like the idea of invading the recipient’s country, then promising to make them leader (or at least sparing them arrest or execution) if they fork over the prize. The committee really should look into making that a way to winning.

  7. Absolutely bonkers this dumbass thinks he can just ‘acquire’ the peace prize after seizing a country by force for its resources and on the heels of his brown shirts shooting an innocent woman in the face.

  8. Can’t he just be happy with his FIFA Peace Prize? I guess if he took for Nobel, he could add it to his collection of other unearned trophies to pad his fragile ego while protecting child predators and threatening all our allies as is commanded by his boss, Putin.

  9. What I would do is have an entire wheelbarrow made filled with hundreds of peace prizes. Obviously they aren’t real prizes but he doesn’t care. So I would wheel it in to his office and just dump it on the floor. I imagine Trump would roll around in it like a pig in shit, similar to Scrooge McDuck but with much less class. After that he’ll give you whatever you want.

  10. What if the real reason behind Venezuela’s attack was that trump made a deal with her to give her power in exchange for the nobel prize ?

  11. Did we need them to say anything or are most of us capable of thinking that being given a second hand noble peace prize means absolutely nothing

  12. I think they are missing a great opportunity here.

    They should call up Trump and let him know they made a mistake and that he’s welcome to come to Norway to collect his Prize.

    And while there Denmark can kidnap him and hold him for…. crimes (actual crimes don’t matter, they can make something up) And then Denmark can rightfully declare they are now running the US.

  13. Tried to take peace prize by illegal means with the use of force is the definition of irony.

  14. The man really wants a Nobel Prize, even if it is second hand. This is next level embarrassment.

    Let this be a reminder that Trump accepted a “peace prize” from FIFA, one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet. That’s not even the best part, when prize was awarded to him, Trump didn’t wait to get it placed around his neck, he just threw it over himself. The whole ordeal felt surreal but also represents Trumps whole character.

  16. More distraction from Pedo Pres

    He’s gonna say the most stupid insane shit to get the headlines to say anything other than how he trafficked, raped, AND murdured children!

  17. It’s like when he kept the World Cup trophy. He may possess it, but it doesn’t make him a winner.

    I once went to a garage sale and saw a trophy from a soccer league being sold for $0.50. I wanted it so badly. My dad carefully explained that some things in life are earned and cannot be bought.

    I was 6.

    Can someone just give this dipshit a chocolate gold medal with NOBELL PRIES written on it in sharpie already? He’s too incompetently up his own ass to know the difference.

  20. “After the Nazis rose to power in 1933, Haber (who was Jewish) fled Germany. To prevent his Nobel Prize medal (made of gold) from being confiscated by the regime, he dissolved it in aqua regia, a powerful mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids capable of dissolving gold.
    Later, after World War II, the gold was recovered and a replacement Nobel medal was reissued to his family by the Nobel Foundation.”

    Just saying, there are proven options to save your Nobel prize from Nazis

  21. This reminds me of when Trump bought a shitty football team in a terrible failing league and tried to sue the NFL to force them to merge with his shit league. Trump lost and Trump was banned from ever owning a NFL team.

    His shit league went under immediately.

  22. what would “transferring” the award even mean in this context? It’s not tickets to a concert… the entire point of the award is that it is the conclusion of the committee. Does Trump think the physical thing is valuable?

    I saw reporting last week that he didn’t want to give Machado a role in Venezuela because she hasn’t given him the Nobel peace prize, pretty wild to see his public comments support that reporting

  23. Well trump wouldnt be recognized as having the title. But he’d physically have the medal, which is all he cares about.

    This idiot is so concerned with legacy, so absolutely obsessed with “beating” Obama. Does he really think that he won’t go down in the history books as a fraud, a felon, a child rapist and a failure?

  25. Eatpineapplerightnow on

    Its so dumb, its almost hard to understand: He thinks of the actual physical object symbolizing the prize as the point. He thinks the whole prestige is tied to the object.

  26. Celestial-Dream on

    He doesn’t care if he earned it or not. He only wants the trinket so he can lie about it. We all know he doesn’t play soccer but he stole that one trophy from a tournament.

  27. How do MAGAts not get second hand embarrassment?

    I would be so ashamed to call myself American if this turd represented me. 

  28. SnowdropSoulburn on

    Brother, he just wants the placard because Obama has one. He doesn’t give one crap about whether it’s legitimate or not.

  29. Maybe they can give him the prize contingent upon him resigning the office but obviously only after he’s officially resigned. In that case maybe he’d legitimately deserve it for giving us peace from all of his bullshit.

  30. He’s a collector. He doesn’t have one and other people do so he waaahhhhnts it. He’s also like a Bizarro World version of King Midas. Instead of turning everything he touches to gold, he turns it to trash.

  31. He unashamedly was trying to accept somebody else’s award?! that alone is beyond effing absurd

  32. How stupid must one be to not understand that the physical medal is just a token, and doesn’t bestow recognition of merit by itself?
