Remember back when Trump was dissing Africa, saying it was a bunch of “sh!thole countries? AND openly recruiting folks from Scandinavian countries to immigrate to the U.S.? Well, Trump can’t get over his butt-hurt (again!) over not winning the Nobel Peace Prize and he just added Norway to his list of sh!thole countries. He may not have intended to start the (ahem) Trump Toilet War but he did. Norway promptly flushed him with some delightfully wicked trolling via their tourism board website, comparing Trump’s fake gold toilet to some architecturally striking loos in their country!
Everyone but Trump and those who’ve chugged down enough of his toxic orange Kool Aide to mutate their DNA knows why Trump didn’t get this year’s Peace Prize. And hasn’t in the past. And never will. He doesn’t end wars despite his claims. No, he starts them (Iran anyone?) or keeps them going by backing the wrong side/dictator (Putin’s invasion of Ukraine for example) yet somehow thinks he should have a Nobel Peace Prize. Frankly, even his rotting brain knows he doesn’t deserve the honor and he would give ‘two sh!ts’ (pun intended) about the Nobel Peace Prize except for the fact that Obama has one and he doesn’t!
What’s a hurt fee-fees Trump to do? Stuff like he too often does. Name calling. And I for one wouldn’t be surprised if Natalie spread a big map of the world on his desk (after crossing out the word Africa on the continent and gluing a printed in the same font “ShIthole Countries”) and dutifully handed him an extra special Sharpie so he could color over Norway, then add a bulge along the coast and write in “Norway.” It’s easy to imagine a beaming (like a toddler) Trump holding up his ‘artwork’ like he does when he signs some Executive Order. Whatever.
What makes this fun is the way Norway, the government of Norway responded. Not all huffy but instead as this article from The Independent explains with some lighthearted humor. Trump’s (fake) gold toilet is well known. Even his MAGAs can’t be convinced he emits not feces but sweet smelling Unicorn Sparkle Farts so he make sure they (and in a case of WAY too much TMI) know he takes his dumbs in a toilet. We of course know it’s fake gold but MAGAs probably believe it’s the real stuff. Anyway since Trump took his shot with his typical toilet mouth insult (again, pun intended) Norway fired back and made fun of Trump:
Norway has found the perfect riposte to Donald Trump bizarrely labelling it a “s**t house country” in another meltdown over being snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The US president said on Sunday that immigrants from Norway are not welcome in the United States in an extraordinary attack on Washington’s European ally.
President Trump has long coveted the prize and made no secret of his aspiration to win it. He has previously heaped pressure on the committee to give him the prestigious accolade.
In response to Trump’s insult, Visit Norway, the Scandinavian nation’s tourist board compiled a list of its best toilets, asking: “Are these the world’s best s**t houses?”
“Norway makes s**t houses great again”, the post on its website compiling the country’s most scenic lavatory facilities read.
The linked article has a slideshow that appears on their official tourism website that shows some public lavatories and yes, even though these are for the public to use when ‘nature calls’ they are architectural gems. Several even are even (if not completely) gold colored! Certainly not tacky looking like any bathroom Trumpty would deign acceptable to use.
What makes this smackdown from Norway so epic is it hits Trump upside his fat orange head in multiple ways. Did you notice that last part above where Norway took a shot at MAGA by comparing ‘Make America Great Again’ to making sh!thouses great again? Ouch. Then there’s the trolling over design. We and it seems the rest of the developed world know all about Trumpty’s obsession with re-designing things including iconic places like The Kennedy Center and even the White House itself to fit HIS image of what’s ‘beautiful.’ Well, Obama is tearing that obsession to shreds but Norway is piling on.
It’s also a reminder of Trump’s racist call to, after proclaiming Africa to be a bunch of sh!hole countries asking, even begging folks from Europe (and he singled out Scandinavian countries of which Norway is one) as the kind of people he wants to come here. At the time people there, well most of them politely but pointedly said ‘No thanks. We have it great here and moving to the U.S. would be a downgrade for us.’ Of course, some of the comments on social media were rather more critical of Trump – a tone of ‘Are you batshit insane? Why on god’s green earth would we want to move to a place where someone like YOU is wrecking a system that wasn’t as good as ours even before you came along!’
The Norway government’s response to Trump name calling is couched in polite terms but their mocking of Trump is clear – like a boxer they’ve thrown a combination of jabs and full punches. Making fun of Trump’s sense of architectural style/design sense is hitting Trump in one of the places that really hurts his little (as his ‘hands’) ego. They can literally make a freaking public restroom facility more appealing to look at than Trump can make the White House look! Norway could have let the whole being called an ugly name pass without comment. Instead they fired back with a salvo. Trump can only wish he could attack Iran so effectively!
I hope this goes viral. I really do. Trump is flailing and a tiny but proud country has just kicked him in the ‘family jewels.’ This might not get much attention here in the U.S. which would be a shame but I’ll bet it’s making Trump a laughingstock in all of Europe and beyond. Even Putin, Xi and Kim are smirking. Moving forward it will be interesting to see whether Trump is buried under so much other sh!t (again, but for the last time in this article pun intended) he doesn’t respond. I said he might not have meant to start a ‘Toilet War’ but he did and Norway, not individual citizens on social media but the GOVERNMENT of Norway has already beaten Trump, and with more than a little style in the process.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
