Is it because he's a dumpy idiot who hasn't done anything to further the goals of world peace for a single person, let alone a country or the world?

Who is asking experts about Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize? PBS are you ok?

[–] hypna@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Last I heard Trump was cold calling world leaders to beg for Nobel peace prize nominations.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And kept saying how many wars he "ended" in his UN speech

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's more because he wants one, and is desperately seeking one. Obama got one, so he thinks he deserves one. He just can't seem to find the right people to threaten to get one.

Obama will live inside that man's tiny brain until the final neuron flickers out. He's so mad a black man got elected president before he did.

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Wasn't just president first, but he publicly made fun of him. At a comedy event. Where people make jokes about people in power. He can never get that out of his mind.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Hey now, documenting why stupidity is stupid is a valid endeavor. If you don't document it, people the future can deny it ever was an issue.

PBS is going to be gutted and shut down at some point most likely. So PBS is not, in fact, okay.

Is this a fucking joke? Why would "experts" or anyone other than imbeciles need to contemplate this for any amount of time, ever?

"Sparkles figured it out? Sparkles?! ...this is a real low point...yeah...this one hurts." (no shade, I just love that show XD)

[–] Sparkles@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

Haha. None taken, and same here. :)

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's all part of the corporate media machine that is trying everything they can to normalise Trump.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 weeks ago

Nobel Peace Prize? The fucker is doing his best to start civil war in the US. The fucker has been doing his best to help Russia in their war of aggression. The fucker has been gleefully helping Israel with their genocide.

[–] molten@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Lol. Probably because he's a warmonger. And a cunt.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Nah, they have given plenty of cunts the Nobel peace prize… 🤷‍♂️

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Henry Kissinger (aka "MC Warcrimes") won the peace prize, it's 100% feasible for trump to get it. Fucking joke of an honor.

I'm surprised they got an explanation and not just raucous laughter at the absurdity of the question.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago

Is it because they generally don't give an award for kid fucking?

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

We needed EXPERTS to tell us THIS?

Universe help us, how stunned are people that this wasn't IMMEDIATELY obvious.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

People who vote for the oscars, sometimes don't even watch the movies. Obama won the nobel peace price while drone striking more children than any other presiden (or person) on the planet. I absolutely wouldn't be shocked if he won the nopel price or price for leas likely to fuck children.

[–] echo@lemmings.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe because he's a warmongering fascist?

[–] opus86@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago

Blowing up Venezuelans isn't going to help his case.

[–] skhayfa@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe should have renamed the defense dept the secretary of Peace instead of war

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think the American people are more likely to win the Darwin award for electing him twice.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

why trump needs a distraction from the epstein files, heres why.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think you need experts to figure out why...

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh come on now they know a lot more than you or I

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

USAID being destroyed will kill millions. His bbb is going to kill kick millions off healthcare and invalids will literally be dumped on the streets to die(millions will die),People are being kidnapped and disappeared in what is obviously a federal agency made of white supremisist gang members in the beginnings of a state sanctioned genocide, he unconditionally supports a state that is clearly committing genocide, he is dismantling American democracy and starting an authoritarian technofacist dictatorship under the heritage foundation and PayPal mafia…millions will die, he’s murdering Venezuelan civilians……I’m just not sure what is peaceful here

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

But he pointed at a lot of countries and said "no, don't you do it"

Truly a peacemaker like no other

[–] Corelli_III@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

longtime pbs watchers say PBS's prospects remain remote despite a flurry of bootlicking entertainment of fascist nonsense and some notable bullshit polls which they have published 8 times under different headlines

[–] melodious_thunk@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

OMG that fucking headline.

Journalism has failed us.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I really can't see it. Both Ukraine and Gaza may come to an end soon but it's just because wars tend to time out. They can't sustain themselves forever. The role of the US and Trump is minor in these cases.

Plus can't see it when he's bombing Iran.
