    Just adding context:

    The Norwegian outlet Dagens Næringsliv, citing unnamed sources, reported: “Out of the blue, while finance minister Jens Stoltenberg was walking down the street in Oslo, Donald Trump called … He wanted the Nobel prize – and to discuss tariffs.”

    The outlet added that it was not the first time that Trump had raised the question of a Nobel peace prize nomination to Stoltenberg.

    My opinion? If they even consider him my faith in humanity is finally destroyed.

      You bet your ass I will be on the streets protesting if that happens. Would be one of the most disgusting things they could do

      But hey, maybe if Trump comes to Norway I’ll manage to hit him with a rotten tomato (and then his bodyguards killing me, but that is a risk I’m willing to take)

    he can have it when he helps restores the territorial intergrity of Ukraine, removing all Russian presence from Ukraine, and helping hold Kremlin war criminals to justice.

    Incoming rambling, incoherent speech from Trump about how the Norwegian minister of finance called him to ask him if he wanted the peace prize and Trump tried to turn it down.

    It’s killing him (hopefully literally) that Obama has one and he doesn’t.

      Maybe they could remove it from Obama (for not doing anything to earn it, before or after) so the annoying orange will finally be happy and do something for the allies for once.

        Appeasing narcissists doesn’t make them suddenly care about others. If anything, it reinforces their behavior.

          Let me repeat: the prize should never have been given to Obama in first place, this is just doing the right thing anyway, not because he asked. And remove Kissinger’s and Aung San Suu Kyi too.

              Getting Arafat, Rabin and Peres to agree on something was well worth the prize…but I agree that starting to remove them would be opening a can of worms. It was just an attempt to reclaim some legitimacy for the prize, particularly if you work against the award after getting it.

        They could take it away from Obama and then give two prizes to the obese narcissistic cunt and he still wouldn’t do anything for anybody.
        Not unless you bribe him with a gold trinket, or something shiny. The useless paedophilic orange piece of shit is basically a mentally incompetent magpie.

    This is clearly his only motivation in trying to get the Ukraine war ended. Pathetic behavior

        He could nuke the world to achieve world peace, but I suppose there wouldn’t be anyone left to give him the medal he’s so clearly obsessed with

          Dunno, different ghouls, like Jeffrey Bezos for example, seem to be preparing their doomsday bunkers, so he could get his medal proudly awarded to him in picturesque nuclear wasteland after it’ll be safe to emerge from underground.

            Not within his lifetime, no matter how much healthcare he thinks money can buy. Maybe you mean his great-great-great-great-*-great-grandchildren can get the medal on his behalf, although they’ll be pretty horribly inbred by that point.

              Your first Google share link doesn’t work. I’ll also never share times of Israel as a source. I am an American and I boycott Israel.

    Nobel peace prize has been a joke for a very long time now like damn near all the lights camera flash red carpet awards of the past century
