One of the hallmarks of the Nobel Peace Prize is that the candidates cannot be seen as openly campaigning for the award; it is off-putting to say the least in people who are supposed to be above rewards beyond peace itself. However, Donald Trump has committed the ultimate sin in both publicly demanding a Nobel Peace Prize while firmly knowing that he will likely never be granted one. The Peace Prize has been in the news again of late because it is once again time to manipulate the brat. Trump, who so desperately wants the same accolade they gave the black guy, has to know that starting a war against Iran will immediately remove him from all consideration, or what little he might have gotten. Thus it is that he will be “floated” as a nominee by a party desperately seeking to avoid a war on behalf of Iran. Pakistan will submit Trump’s name for consideration.
According to a report by Reuters:
Pakistan said on Saturday it would recommend U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, an accolade that he has said he craves, for his work in helping to resolve the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. Some analysts in Pakistan said the move might persuade Trump to think again about potentially joining Israel in striking Iran’s nuclear facilities. Pakistan has condemned Israel’s action as a violation of international law and a threat to regional stability.
If anyone thinks that Pakistan would nominate Trump for this prize absent a potential war with Iran get to the back of the line. Pakistan is not looking to award Trump anything. It simply knows that nominations mean little, I could be nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature (Someone, please), and it means nothing about nothing when it comes to handing the prize down.
In May, a surprise announcement by Trump of a ceasefire brought an abrupt end to a four-day conflict between nuclear-armed foes India and Pakistan. Trump has since repeatedly said that he averted a nuclear war, saved millions of lives, and grumbled that he got no credit for it. Pakistan agrees that U.S. diplomatic intervention ended the fighting, but India says it was a bilateral agreement between the two militaries.
Let’s momentarily pretend that Donald Trump averted nuclear war and saved millions of lives. Only Donald Trump wouldn’t be satisfied with such a result and would be demanding the Nobel. If he really did strong-arm the two countries into such a deal, then he probably would get consideration. But look at India – who is notoriously “Trump-friendly” – they aren’t giving him any credit. And India is the neutral party here because Pakistan is closely aligned with Iran, which is doing all it can to avoid being bombed into oblivion by the most powerful military on Earth.
Nobel Peace laureates aren’t the type to contemplate using tactical nukes – Trump would. And they aren’t the type to suddenly leap to defend overly aggressive action by Israel. Trump might be. All of this is done in the hope of signaling to Trump that he will lose any shot at a Nobel if he bombs Iran. You know that Trump is literally saying this to people advocating bombing Iran – “But if I bomb them, then I won’t get the Nobel Prize… ”
It is embarrassing. We have a president who is so easy to manipulate that one would have an easier time explaining this to a ten-year-old. As it is, Donald Trump thinks he has a real shot at the Nobel Prize, despite the fact that he’s already defaulted on it. Nobel Prize winners don’t campaign for the award.
We know the black guy did not.

Zoomers, we are always in need of donations. It’s been an especially rough month, and my own health has not been great these past few weeks, which just adds to the frustration. Anything you can spare will be immensely appreciated. And thank you to all who have donated generously already. Ursula
Given his body count here and around the world…the only ‘prize’ he deserves is the same one Ted Bundy got. Ted killed FAR LESS people and only adults. A cigarette and a blindfold would be my awards. On second thought…phuck the blindfold. I want him to see it coming.
It is pretty amusing to think that he’s being manipulated like this. If that’s the case, well done on the part of Pakistan!
