Can I ask a really dumb question here?

Why the fuck does Trump want a Nobel Peace Prize?

Like, what does he think it means? Does he not understand that he needs to, you know, be a decent diplomat? Or is it one of those "Oh, shiny!" Things?

It's Obama isn't it? Obama got one so he has to have one? He's not going to be happy until he has two, isn't he?

Yes it's because Obama.

He wouldn't be happy if it starts raining titties and ice cream, but yes, if he gets one he'll desire two. If he gets two he'll desire something else. I'm no Buddhist but this is a man who cannot regulate his desire and is clearly miserable because of it.

Tbh it means nothing Obama got it after bombing kids in the middle east and arming israel.

Trump wanting it is just cuz he wants to one up obama.

And if he gets it he will finally be happy and leave us alone?

He prioritized bombing Yemen and supporting the genocide of Palestine he gets squat.

He can't stand having a black man be better than him.
