Meanwhile, his staff is working overtime trying to figure out how to get President Obama's Peace Prize revoked. Their efforts will join the clarion call that started even before Trump took office.

Once liberals understand that, they'll be happy like all these people cheering for him at his rallies and praising him at cabinet meetings.

Another thought: I can't imagine having his picture at my workplace. How demoralizing.

How many think that if he gets the Nobel Peace Prize (ycch!) his next goal will be to have built the biggest, most powerful aircraft ever in the history of the world and named -- wait for it -- the "Donald J. Trump"?
