Trump Says ‘They Probably Will Never’ Give Him The Nobel Peace Prize

Despite rhetoric that potentially drives supporters to send bombs in the mail, the president insists “they” just don’t want him to have one.

While speaking to the Future Farmers of America in Indianapolis Saturday, President Donald Trump praised the efforts of Dr. Norman Borlaug, a scientist who won the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize for his work in developing a high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat.

But the president couldn’t keep the focus on anyone else for too long, and naturally proceeded to put himself into the Nobel Prize conversation.

“They probably will never give it to me, even what I’m doing in Korea and Idlib province and all of these places,” Trump said. “They probably will never give it to me. You know why? Because they don’t want to.”

Yeah. Yeah, that’s probably the reason.

McArthur Genius Grants. They come with more $$$ than the Nobel. Being a stable genius should make him a shoe-in.

as well as the "You Can't Make This Shit Up" folder.

I am so tired of this hateful, pitiful excuse for a human. My fatigue settled in over a year ago when this asshole said "I think there is blame on both sides," after his people came to my town and killed my friend's grand daughter. All that has happened since and his concern is for recognition e.g. the Nobel prize. I can't say what I'd like to say so I'll leave it at and

Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

Many academics turn their prizes back into their research, and/or invest in their schools and such.

Trump will just blow it on Big Macs and Diet Cokes.
