Trump is not worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize - not now, not ever

[canetoad]

It was never going to be President Donald Trump’s year to win the Nobel Peace Prize. It never should be.

Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela won the Nobel for promoting democracy. The Norwegian Nobel Committee hailed Machado, opposition leader to her country’s dictatorship, for “her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy”.

Machado won the award for her work in bringing democracy to her country on the day when Trump used his Department of Justice to undercut democracy in his country. Trump exacted retribution against another of his political enemies, New York state attorney-general Letitia James, who launched the lawsuit that led to Trump’s conviction for business fraud. Trump wants the department to prosecute and jail her and James Comey, former director of the FBI, and several others for their disloyalty to him.

Machado and Trump are both focused on pressuring the same dictator, Nicolas Maduro, but in profoundly different ways. While Machado spurs a political campaign to bring democracy to her fellow citizens, Trump gives explicit approval for extra-judicial execution of alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers on their boats in the Caribbean.

1. If he helps Ukraine crush Russia to the point that Putin is deposed and the war ends, I'd support him getting the prize

Zelensky has requested Tomahawks - send them and everything else they need.

If Trump becomes the catalyst for ending the war on Ukraine’s terms, I’d nominate him myself.

(More rationally speaking, the nomination should go to the leaders of NATO, of which Trump is one)

2. Nazi rapists are simply not qualified for the prize, it's that simple. They look at your whole life, not just one thing

3. The gave one to Henry Fucking Kissinger...nt

4. He wasn't convicted of felonies now was he? Did he lead an insurrection? Sorry bro, it's not going to happen. Ever.

People need to put this fucking idiotic idea of awarding this filth anything other than a jail sentence out of their minds.

5. A man who declares war on his own country does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize
