Trump Crows Over North Korea Talks as Rally Crowd Chants 'Nobel! Nobel!'

by Tamar Auber | 8:08 pm, April 28th, 2018

President Donald Trump held a rally in Michigan on Saturday at the same time as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

As usual, it was a freewheeling affair with Trump’s talk quickly hitting on the “dirty dossier,” the “fake news” and, of course, “liar and leaker” James Comey.

Yet, in a bizarre for even a Trump rally moment, the crowd, at one point, shouted “Nobel! Nobel!” as Trump talked about North Korea.

After saying “a lot of good things” are happening with North Korea, Trump told the crowd, “We are not playing games. I remember it was very rough..”

“Nobel! Nobel” the crowd shouted.

“That’s very nice, thank you. That’s very nice. Nobel,” Trump replied, before moving on.

peace between NK & SK? I don't think so, but I am wondering if I am missing something because I am not really familiar w/ the politics of the region. He bullied Kim Jong-un and made a lot of threats, but was that actually the reason for this historic peace gesture?

Soon, they'll be chanting "Big Brother! Big Brother!". No pair of jeans left uncreamed.

Recalling this as the asshole-talking-point-du jour when Barack Obama received his Nobel Peace Prize.

All part of creating a narrative. I'm sure we'll be hearing more of these chants at future events.
