    God it fucking burns him so bad that Obama got one and he didn’t.

    Obama didn’t even deserve a peace prize, the guy did more drone strikes than Bush, but just for the fact that it upsets Trump so much I say they should give him another one.

      Makes me wonder though if Bush wouldn’t’ve used more drones if they were cheaper and readily available earlier in his presidency. At the time, they were still incredibly expensive and unreliable.

      No one in government cares how many collateral deaths there are when drones are used, as long as it reduces the number of Americans returning home in boxes. Keeping the voters happy is always the priority.

      Of course Obama did more drone strikes than Bush - drones were barely a thing during the Bush years. The technology only became practical, cost effective, and mass produced during Obama’s term.

      My one single satisfaction that I take from Turnip is despite having everything including some otherworldly luck - he will never be satisfied or appreciate any of it. What a sad and pathetic life and the only kind of life a sad fuck like him deserves.

      Explain why drones are any worse than any other kind of weapon. The people who get blown up are just as dead regardless.

          Yeah I’m not sure this is true, though I imagine it’s only a matter of time. Anecdotally, but I know a guy who definitely has PTSD from, among other things, watching onscreen as such an automated weapon of war homed in on two combatants fleeing, closing in until finally one of them, looking over his shoulder directly at the camera, gave up and stopped running immediately before death.

    Unfortunately, they don’t hand them out for being the biggest dipshit around. He would have won way more than five by now if that was the case.

    This is an opportunity. Somebody needs to tell him that pulling the leash on Israel would guarantee the prize. We could have a parade at the awards ceremony. Red carpet, real celebrities, and everything.

    It would still only be the second most embarrassing Peace Prize given to a sitting president.

    Remember.

    Trump is obsessed with Nobel prizes, because Obama got one… and Trump is a small, tiny, jealous, insecure little man with an YUGE inferiority complex.

      Obama made a joke at Trumps expense once and now Trump will do anything to one up him and erase Obama’s accomplishments as president

        No matter how much spray tan he uses, he could never take away Obama’s achievement of being the FIRST president of color.

    He doesn’t understand how anything works. You can question his intelligence, and there’s the dementia, but most of all, it’s his ignorance that stands out.

    He’s such an ideal Bond villain. Unfortunately there was never a Bond film featuring the villain being a president because no one could imagine something so outlandishly heinous. Speaks to the quality of this timeline.

    I hope he lives just long enough for them to give a Nobel prize to whoever fixes the humanitarian nightmares he’s creating. He deserves to see all his bullshit unravel in front of him.
