Maybe I’ve read dumber headlines at some point, but at this moment, I feel like shit, the world feels like shit, I still haven’t had any coffee, and I had scrolled past the headlines below before even coming across this one on APs front page.
I didn’t even really consciously put the absolute ridiculousness of ALL of these things happening at once together until afterwards, but I guess on some level I intuitively knew because I immediately groaned in disgust and said out loud “this is the dumbest fucking sentence I’ve ever had to read.”
No, she could, it’s hers to give. It just wouldn’t mean anything to anyone but Trump. It would be like if Cillian Murphy gave me his best actor Oscar–absolutely meaningless.
And, maybe because of that, it’s a good idea? This is the fucking world we live in now.
Trump is absolutely incapable of distinguishing between having a thing and having won that thing. Machado was definitely going to try to buy leadership of Venezuela with her medal, and the committee just cockblocked her.
I kinda want to see what James Maynard could get for giving his Fields Medal to Trump. Partly because it would be funny to see Trump claim to be a Fields-award winning mathematician, partly because James Maynard would make a much better Secretary of Education than that wrestler.
No she couldn’t. Her giving the Nobel Prize Medal is like a Medal of Honor recipient putting up his Medal of Honor for sale.
(Albeit Norway probably doesn’t have any enforcement as they didn’t think till now.)
She lost the chance for being Venezuela’s president the moment she accepted that nobel price. Trump never forgave her for that for sure.
She can’t or isn’t supposed to? Because I’m pretty sure she can. Less her arms are broken.
An Olympic runner can give his/her medal away. They can’t declare someone else to be the winner.
You think he knows or cares what a Nobel Prize actually looks like? Get a fake medal from MedalsAreUs, spray paint it gold, put it on a really fancy ribbon and put it in a pretty box.
No one would dare point out it was fake, and even if it he realized it himself, he’d never mention it to anyone else.
No, this is what they’ve always looked like. We promise.
Committing war crimes to get his hands on a peace price. Okaaaaaaaaay
More of a loser than Guaidó.
Ah, so that’s why he invaded Venezuela… it makes sense now.
Remember in Trump 1.0 when he visited some wounded soldier, and hinted around for the guy’s Purple Heart, and the guy gave it to him? Trump said “Ive always wanted one of these,” and kept it.
They’ve got a warehouse full of them. They made zillions during WWII to prepare for the invasion of Japan, which never happened. They’ve never had to make a new one since. All he’d have to do is tell Hegseth he wanted one, and he have it on his desk in 30 minutes.
But it’s more fun to lift one from a wounded soldier.
Why did they even give it to her? She doesn’t fit the profile of a Nobel peace prize recipient.
There really isn’t a “profile” of a peace price recipient.
That said, awarding her the peace prize felt like when the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama; they were giving it for people being the opposite of others without any accomplishments.
To me the whole thing is stupid.
They should just flat out tell Trump they’ll give him the stupid medal at the end of his term if he doesn’t bomb any more countries.
If she can give her’s let’s start a petition to give a few to Luigi Mangione or Maduro.
Julian Assange files complaint against Nobel Foundation over Machado prize
The real news here is Juilan Assange still exists? People still think he’s relevant?
