Is it because he's a dumpy idiot who hasn't done anything to further the goals of world peace for a single person, let alone a country or the world?

Is this a fucking joke? Why would "experts" or anyone other than imbeciles need to contemplate this for any amount of time, ever?

"Sparkles figured it out? Sparkles?! ...this is a real low point...yeah...this one hurts." (no shade, I just love that show XD)

[–] Sparkles@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

Haha. None taken, and same here. :)

It's all part of the corporate media machine that is trying everything they can to normalise Trump.

Nobel Peace Prize? The fucker is doing his best to start civil war in the US. The fucker has been doing his best to help Russia in their war of aggression. The fucker has been gleefully helping Israel with their genocide.

Lol. Probably because he's a warmonger. And a cunt.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Nah, they have given plenty of cunts the Nobel peace prize… 🤷‍♂️

Henry Kissinger (aka "MC Warcrimes") won the peace prize, it's 100% feasible for trump to get it. Fucking joke of an honor.

I'm surprised they got an explanation and not just raucous laughter at the absurdity of the question.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

Is it because they generally don't give an award for kid fucking?

We needed EXPERTS to tell us THIS?

Universe help us, how stunned are people that this wasn't IMMEDIATELY obvious.

People who vote for the oscars, sometimes don't even watch the movies. Obama won the nobel peace price while drone striking more children than any other presiden (or person) on the planet. I absolutely wouldn't be shocked if he won the nopel price or price for leas likely to fuck children.

[–] echo@lemmings.world 12 points 2 months ago

Maybe because he's a warmongering fascist?

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm hoping that there are two reasons

  1. He's seen as the horrible piece of shit that he is

  2. He's not alive to receive one

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Him dying might bring more peace than him remaining alive, so...?

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 months ago

Whatever happens to him, I just hope it's really painful

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

No one person matters that much, slime is not the real problem, it’s just a result. The system itself is producing this, and hopefully our government has the ability to deal with it, if not then wow would be crazy with all of our military bases around the world

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm in favor of Trump getting the prize posthumously if this is explicitly given as the reason.

[–] opus86@lemmy.today 9 points 2 months ago

Blowing up Venezuelans isn't going to help his case.

[–] skhayfa@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Maybe should have renamed the defense dept the secretary of Peace instead of war

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

why trump needs a distraction from the epstein files, heres why.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

USAID being destroyed will kill millions. His bbb is going to kill kick millions off healthcare and invalids will literally be dumped on the streets to die(millions will die),People are being kidnapped and disappeared in what is obviously a federal agency made of white supremisist gang members in the beginnings of a state sanctioned genocide, he unconditionally supports a state that is clearly committing genocide, he is dismantling American democracy and starting an authoritarian technofacist dictatorship under the heritage foundation and PayPal mafia…millions will die, he’s murdering Venezuelan civilians……I’m just not sure what is peaceful here

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

But he pointed at a lot of countries and said "no, don't you do it"

Truly a peacemaker like no other

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you need experts to figure out why...

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

Oh come on now they know a lot more than you or I

[–] Corelli_III@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

longtime pbs watchers say PBS's prospects remain remote despite a flurry of bootlicking entertainment of fascist nonsense and some notable bullshit polls which they have published 8 times under different headlines

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I really can't see it. Both Ukraine and Gaza may come to an end soon but it's just because wars tend to time out. They can't sustain themselves forever. The role of the US and Trump is minor in these cases.

Plus can't see it when he's bombing Iran.
