Trump rants about Nobel Peace Prize aboard Air Force One

cultureJul 9, 202625626

Aboard Air Force One returning from a NATO summit in Turkey, President Donald Trump told reporters he “should have won that award more than anybody,” reigniting his long-standing claim that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Video of the press gaggle was published and critics immediately roasted the rant, with one headline calling it “completely insane.” The outburst comes amid a coordinated push by some Republicans to attach the Nobel brand to the Trumps: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally nominated Trump this summer and Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) submitted a separate nomination. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has also proposed considering First Lady Melania Trump after she sent a handwritten letter, reportedly delivered to Vladimir Putin, appealing for compassion over abducted Ukrainian children; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady Olena Zelenska acknowledged the outreach. Trump regularly cites the Abraham Accords and these nominations when arguing he has been unfairly overlooked for the prize. Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee have voiced skepticism, with at least three of five publicly criticizing Trump over concerns about his record on democracy, media freedom, and international cooperation.

We've never had such a whiny, bitching, complaining, overly-emotional "president."

He’s unwell on top of being a self absorbed narcissist. I feel like things are getting worse and his time is coming soon, but for the love of Christ on a cracker, can we speed this along already?

Glenn Forrest22

Not only a narcissist, but an idiot as well. That’s a dangerous combination.

. Trump becomes first to bomb seven countries in one year . . . ... sounds like a "real peace president" 💠 😠 💠

Hunter Biden nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace prize for ending the war with Iran 38 times. He was however, contemplating withdrawing his nomination given Trump’s recent retaliatory attacks signaling the war isn’t over.

I find it odd that he blathers on about everything. I mean everything and NEVER mentions the assassination attempts. Never.

I deserve to be published more than anybody. I deserve a photography prize more than anybody. I deserve an award for rescuing cats more than anybody. That's not how life works. He had a life of debauched privilege. It wasn't enough.

He deserves the thorniest case of crotch crabs ever to be had. He deserves a loogie patty subbed in on every Big Mac forevermore. He deserves penile nomoreworky for the rest of his days. Peace Prize my ass.

Donald Trump who appears increasingly nuts every single day, went on & on about how he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more than anyone else ever, in Ankara at NATO. Before repeat bombing Iran, where many hundreds have been killed, including many children. In a follow-up to that war he started.

Flying home from a NATO summit where he confused Iran with Japan and called Zelensky "Putin," Trump told reporters he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more than anyone who ever received it. He also claims he's ended eight wars. The man is in freefall and nobody can catch him.

Trump has discovered the political equivalent of a cheat code: if you don’t know the facts, just make the numbers so outrageously big that nobody notices they’re impossible. This time it was a war where, according to him, “15 million people had their heads chopped off.” Fifteen million.

You gotta admit, stopping 8 fictional wars is pretty impressive.

scottblah.bsky.social1

Well, he has ended the Iran war 38 times. Surely that's worth something? /s
