Since his return to power in January, Trump has been increasingly focused on the Nobel Peace Prize. He has claimed to have ended several conflicts around the world.

Experts, however, contest his claims.

Many world leaders and lawmakers are adopting a new tactic to stay in Trump’s good graces — praising his peace efforts and nominating him for the Peace Prize.

That’s actually really smart.

Having people kiss his ass and give him free handouts to stay in his good graces is how Trump has been operating his entire life.

The new Japanese PM is an ultraconservative nationalist who is cozying up to Japan’s version of MAGA. It’s like Javier Milei in Argentina nominating him. They’re on the same page.

I’ll believe it when I see it. And if I do happen to see it, I’ll still know it’s total bullshit.

This is the equivalent of “aww, don’t worry buddy… you’ll get it next time”. In other words, how you might treat a child (apologies to any children for the comparison).

This negotiating tactic is particularly smart because even though it can be used to gain favor with Trump/US, the final decision of who gets the prize is out of their control so someone else can be blamed if he doesn’t get it.

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware of that.

I really want someone by trumps side on his dying bed to say very loudly, "And you still didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, but Obama did."

Kalon@lemmy.world on 28 Oct 11:51 next collapse

Its worth noting that Obama wanted to turn it down, but was told that turning it down would be insulting.

I can’t believe this is all happening just because he was ridiculed at a correspondents dinner.

I guess that orange senile narcissist is begging anyone he meets to nominate him. He should be put into some dementia care home.

“I’m going to nominate my arms dealer for a Peace Prize” is an amazing idea. How can this ever go poorly?

Oh, we all know what's in the Russian kompromat, Donnie, and what you really really want is the Nobel Piss Prize.

The only reason I won't piss on your grave once you're gone is because you'd no doubt enjoy it.

Awful everything. At least Japanese people are protesting against Trump.

Like yay, Japan still likes us and I might be able to study abroad. But on the other hand, they’ve got a “women should be traditional” nutcase who thinks Trump is cool. Like nooooo. Stop. I’d rather you hate us.
