Norwegian here. I can still hear the gasping from the laughter of the nobel committee in Oslo. And I’m on vacation abroad.
Fits right in with Obama, lord of drones.
Nobel committee knows that if they pick him, it would tarnish the prize.
Is it still a respected thing? I was under the impression it’s not Obama didn’t do anything except be elected and he was nominated. Can’t remember if he won it though but that seems like pretty weak criteria to be nominated.
He won for not being Bush.
That’s how terrible Bush was.
And Trump is even worse.
He was awarded and did a lot of un-peaceful things later on
Not peaceful at all. I really think it’s a bullshit award these days. Constant drone striking, basic bitch democrat Obama is the best this country can do? Maybe but I hope not
As as to be said somehow literally every time these headlines are published, nominations for any Nobel prize are kept secret and announcing that you’ve submitted a nomination if anything makes them less likely to be accepted as it harms the nomination by harming the image of the nominator. Anyone can say they’ve nominated anyone for a Nobel Peace Prize and they can’t be proven or disproven for 50 years.
Oh and “Pakistan” can’t nominate anyone for a Nobel Prize. All you need to be a nominator for the Nobel Peace Prize is to be an elected official or a university professor, but you do have to be a person. The likely of a headline not bothering to distinguish between a person and their 250 million people nation seems to increase linearly with distance east from the Greenwich meridian.
Please remember this when that Norwegian ‘scientist’ nominations Trump or Elon or whoever in October like he does every year.
Pakistan is playing some 5-D chess, here. Butter up the raging narcissist by flattering his ego, in the hopes that he backs down on Iran or risks losing his Nobel prize nomination.
Smart. He actually might fall for it.
Foreign countries know exactly what they’re doing this time around when it comes to manipulating Trump. I think last time they were surprised just how easy and stupid it was and now Saudia Arabia is just like “yeah throw some McDonald’s paint on a trailer and give him a happy meal, he’ll sign whatever we want”.
The dude is a very very stupid child.
He already caused Israel attacking Iran in the first place:
- Ripping up the existing nuclear deal with Iran. Giving Israel the excuse.
- Emboldening Israel with cruel rhetoric against Palestinians himself. Allowing them to commit genocide freely.
- Finally giving them a “yellow light” for the attack.
So he definitely does not deserve the nomination, but yeah, maybe he can be manipulated into backing off.
It’s literally his MO either through incompetence or hubris, he consistently plants landlines for both himself and others:
- Crash out of the JCPOA despite Iranian compliance and the EU trying to maintain the deal without the US, setting the stage for the current crisis
- Completely disregard the Palestinian question in the Abraham Accords, signaling to Hamas(/Iran) that the window is closing and soon the whole Gulf will be onboard with permanent Israeli domination of Palestine
- Give the Taliban whatever they want in the Doha Accords, but in a timeline that forces it to be the next President’s problem
- Publicly declare he’ll solve Ukraine-Russia in 100 days… signaling the limits of his patience, and that Putin only needs to delay, delay, delay
- “I’ll make a decision in two weeks on Iran”
He’s playing checkers. They’re playing Go
He’s playing Pigeon Chess.
Totally, this is how you play Trump if you don’t have a handwritten letter from your king
This is the worse timeline ever
I am desperately trying to find the portal out of here
Good luck. After sharing the secret, they removed all the payphones.
They cut the hardline! Find the schematics of this building. I need the main wet wall.
After all the news in the last couple of weeks how it might be very likely that our universe is inside a black hole, good luck!
It’s in the bushes behind the greenhouse.
Do more drugs. Got it!
I really dislike that so many people in this timeline don’t know or can’t see the difference between worse and worst.
Yeah, it’s the wurst
horse wurst?
Nominations don’t really mean anything.
The subtext behind Pakistan doing it, and doing it now, is to try and bait Trump away from getting involved with Pakistan’s ally: Iran.
If Trump does anything to Iran, Pakistan is going to make a big fuss about doubling-back on their nomination.
Does the nomination mean anything? No. Is he going to get the award? No. It’s entirely a diplomatic maneuver for a very specific goal of keeping the US out of Iran.
Its just buttering him up for the next terrorism attack on India that Pakistan is planning to conduct. Iran is a Shia majority country and no ally of Pakistan which is a sunni majority country. Minority sects like Hindus, Shia, Ahmadiyas and ethnic minorities like Hazaras are treated the absolute worst in Pakistan. I would be surprised if they ever ally with Iran.
Iran and Pakistan are absolutely allies. They do joint military exercises. They have a joint weapons production program. Iran’s diplomatic channels to the USA literally operate out of Pakistan’s embassy in Washington.
Actual medals don’t mean much anymore either.
Not sure if worst, but quite likely the stupidest. I’m no genius myself, but the amount of utter (and aggressive!) stupidity that surrounds us is so exhausting…
“They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours.” -Trump, May 2023
When a leader in any capacity promises something, you expect them to deliver.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one.
Isn’t the count of Russian casualties over a million or something, now?
I sincerely hope once this fucker keels over we never have to hear from him again.
I think this to myself sometimes too but then I realize some other shit stain will take his place.
Yes… the vice president Vance. That’s how it works. (Not that I want that either) the whole R party is a shit show, imho
I’d like to nominate him for 20 years in prison.
I vote firing squad
I nominate him from the biggest diaper filler.
They’ve got that ass-kissing down now, don’t they!
The fuck
Trump helped secure Pakistan-India ceasefire last month, preventing a broader conflict between the two nuclear
No he didnt, India has already said it was talks between India and Pakistan and Trump had zero to do with it.
The Nobel Peace prize really is the turd of all medals
Reminds me of the quote Political Satire became obsolete when Kissinger was awarded the Peace Prize. But over the years, there have seriously been multiple controversial candidates who got the prize.
I mean… the guy who invented dynamite and all that
Well Hitler was nominated too. Sarcastically, by an anti-fashist, but he was nominated.
So one more thing they have in common now.
