Pathetic and embarrassing

 

Of course he kept them waiting.

He has to create bullshit clubs to be the leader of.



Apparently he thinks that creating something he calls the Board of Peace should give him the Peace Prize.  


I didn't get a Peace Prize either.  Did I get screwed by Norway, too?


Awful in so many ways.



Sure, Jan.


World Liberty is Trump's crypto scam company.

After he said we have peace in the Middle East...


Board of Peace, eh?  Let's start a war in the Middle East by attacking the largest country there with nuclear weapons.  Great idea, Peacemaster.

We have gone full 1984 here with the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace in DC.


Sure, Jan.

UPDATE 02/19/2026:

Will there be any money left in the treasury when Trump leaves?

America, this is your insane president




Also, very disrespectful to the Prime Minister to address the letter "Dear Jonas".  

Trump has no leverage over the Committee, though.  And I do hope the Prime Minister responded to "Donald".

 







Thousands of demonstrators gathered across Denmark and Greenland Saturday to protest President Donald Trump’s controversial demand to seize the Arctic island.

[...]

An estimated 10,000 Danes gathered at Copenhagen’s City Hall Square to push back against Trump’s threats, with many people in the crowd donning parody hats mimicking Trump’s signature, bright-red MAGA cap that instead reads “Make America Go Away.”

The caps also read “Nu det NUUK,” a play on Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, and means “Now it’s enough.” On the side of the cap is the Greenland flag and the country’s own spin on the MAGA slogan.

The caps have become so popular they’re reportedly sold out in Denmark.

[...]

Rallies were also held across the Danish realm, as well as in the capital of the Inuit-governed territory of Nunavut in Canada’s far north.

"We're respected again." -- DJ Trump

UPDATE 01/20/2026:
One could observe many things about this document. One is the childish grammar, including the strange capitalizations (“Complete and Total Control”). Another is the loose grasp of history. Donald Trump did not end eight wars. Greenland has been Danish territory for centuries. Its residents are Danish citizens who vote in Danish elections. There are many “written documents” establishing Danish sovereignty in Greenland, including some signed by the United States. In his second term, Trump has done nothing for NATO—an organization that the U.S. created and theoretically leads, and that has only ever been used in defense of American interests. If the European members of NATO have begun spending more on their own defense (budgets to which the U.S. never contributed), that’s because of the threat they feel from Russia.

  The Atlantic
And perhaps the foresight to realize a possible - perhaps probable - U.S. defection.
Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize. [...] Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland.

[...]

The people around Trump could find ways to stop him, as some did in his first term, but they seem too corrupt or too power-hungry to try. That leaves Republicans in Congress as the last barrier. They owe it to the American people, and to the world, to stop Trump from acting out his fantasy in Greenland and doing permanent damage to American interests. He is at risk of alienating friends in not only Europe but also India, whose leader he also snubbed for failing to nominate him for a Nobel Prize, as well as South Korea, Japan, Australia. Years of careful diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, are now at risk because senators and representatives who know better have refused to use the powers they have to block him.
I'm afraid we cannot pin our hopes on Republicans in Congress. Nor, actually, even Democrats.

Hilarious and ridiculous

Well, of course.

Also - she's a "wonderful woman who has been through so much," but also, doesn't have the respect necessary to run Venezuela, so he said a few days ago, so...not mutual respect.

She's a fool is what she is.




He'll have that photo cropped and framed.

UPDATE 01/16/2026:


It's kind of a fun note that as a Spanish-speaking person, when she describes Trump, she prounces "[George] Washington's heir" as "Washington's hair."

She's a fool.  And an idiot.


Well, I have to admit that it was pretty well cheapened already by going to Obama for just getting elected president, and to Henry Fucking Kissinger! 

But, apparently, Machado didn't see it as anything worth keeping when it could be sold for favors she'll never get.

It is important to note, that contrary to Fox News' interviewer, Machado didn't transfer her peace prize. She is still a Peace Prize winner.  She gave away her medal.  

From Forbes:

Surely he'll remove the medal and reframe it with something that doesn't mention Machado.

“As a matter of principle, the Norwegian Nobel Committee will not comment upon what the Peace Prize Laureates may say and do after they have been awarded the prize,” adding that the committees mandate is to only evaluate the work they had done up to the moment the prize is awarded. Earlier on Thursday, the Nobel Peace Center made an X post about the Peace Prize medal that appeared to be aimed at Machado and Trump. The post described the history of the medal and ended with: “A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.”

[...]

A day after U.S. forces conducted a raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Trump was asked if he believes Machado should take over as the country’s leader. The president appeared to dismiss the suggestion, saying the Nobel laureate lacked the “respect” needed to govern the country.

  Forbes
She does now.

What did she get for that medal? A Trump swag bag.


Whatever is in that bag has Trump's name on it.

US war on Venezuela - Day 3




And, Venezuela's opposition party has not changed since Chavez.


Rich, entitled, wannabe capitalists, and suckups to the United States.

Also, she can give him the award medal and/or money.  Doesn't mean he won it.

And there it is


 LOL

And the Nobel Peace Prize is worthless.  THIS is a great honor.

FFS, the president of the US is seriously demented


Give it up, already, old man.  Have a copy made and display it on your desk.  In fact, have several copies made and display them in all your golf clubs.  Your desperation to get a prize is pathetic.


And he's not the only one...



UPDATE 11/06/2025:  And there it is...


LOL.  And the Nobel Peace Prize is worthless.  THIS is a great honor.

In so many words...

 


Not an exact quote, but essentially that is what he said.

Trump's going to announce that the Nobel Prize is fake and stupid and then create a prize (with more gold) that he always wins.

Bet.


Of course the main reason he wants the prize so badly is because Obama got it (undeservedly, I think).  Also, he likes prizes.  

They only bring attention to the fact that he didn't get it by dwelling on it so much.  Brilliant strategy, keep telling everyone what a failure the guy is.

And...priming the idea that the prize is stupid...



The rest of the story...






UPDATE 09:01 am:  Oh shit!



Where will Rubio be sent as ambassador?  Venezuela maybe?

Rick Scott will get some choice words, and a primary opponent, but he can't be stripped of his job.


UPDATE 10/11/2025:

Not great.
