If Trump got the Nobel Peace Prize, I'd eat shit on live TV

Trump wants a Nobel Prize for speaking to the madman who rules North Korea? He doesn't understand that most of the world considers him a madman who thinks he's the ruler of America

Actually, the Nobel Peace Prize became a meaningless piece of garbage when it was awarded to Henry Kissinger. (Google it.)

Trump has as much chance of being awarded a Nobel Prize, is as unlikely as Hitler being declared a great humanitarian.

But in Trump's mind, he really believes he has a shot at being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Which makes the man a total imbecile. Does any sane person really believe this to be a possibility?

When, oh when, will this embarrassing creature go the fuck away?

Possibly because some members of the committee had OD'd on akevitt, it was awarded jointly to Kissinger and Lê Đức Thọ, who refused to accept his half because he claimed (correctly) that peace had not yet been accomplished, and that the United States and the South Vietnamese governments were in violation of the Paris Peace Accords. Also, two members of the Nobel committee resigned in protest. After the cease-fire failed Kissinger - to his credit - tried to give the prize back, but they wouldn't take it. You can bet that even if Trump did get the prize he wouldn't give it back even if Kim nuked Merde-a-Loco.
