Nobel Committee member: Trump is no longer 'moral leader of his country or the world'

A member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee is condemning President Trump for the "zero tolerance" immigration policy that has resulted in separated families, saying that the president is "no longer the moral leader of his country or the world."

"What is happening at the border where he is separating children from their parents is a sign that he is no longer the moral leader of his country or the world," Thorbjorn Jagland, who is also the secretary general of a human rights watchdog, Council of Europe, said, according to Agence-France Press.

"He cannot speak on behalf of the so-called free world," he added.

Jagland also said that the decision to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council on Tuesday is another example that shows Trump "does not want to be part of international treaties or international cooperation-based organizations."

1. So much for that trip to Oslo to grab your prize, eh donald? nt.

15. "Womp Womp."*

* Normally, I would never think to quote a hateful piece of shit traitor like Corey Lewandowski, but his horrid (when directed at a suffering child) quote seemed so appropriate to instead direct at the Orange-utang here.

k&r,

-app

[Rorey]

28. Same here.

But I'll be using it now on -45 and his followers.

37. Thanks for the LOL

Gawd this has been a tearful week.

[brush]

34. So he went thru that whole NK charade for nothing. Hahahahahaha.

[ck4829]

2. Republicans respond: "So about that Nobel prize... He's still going to get it though, right?"

[malchickiwick]

3. "No longer"??? ...Actually, he never was.

Jus' sayin'

[lagomorph777]

9. Yeah, the words are a bit messed up. The President as a job used to be, this asshole NEVER was.

God damned monster. He will end up like Mussolini for this.

[TNNurse]

16. You beat me to it.

His moral fiber never formed. He has been an awful person his entire life.

[olegramps]

24. Agreed! He actually stoned the next door baby in a play pen. He is evil to the core.

He was such a literal monster his father sent him to military school. He loved the fascist ideals of the military. The idea of a supreme commander that he aspired to be. The founding fathers knew the dangers of the military and made the president the Commander and Chief. That might not be much of deterrent in the case of Trump.

[MANative]

4. "No longer"? The USA and our Presidents have often filled that role...

but this clown? Not even for a nanosecond in his far-too-long life.

[Yonnie3]

5. I beg to differ.

"he is no longer the moral leader of his country or the world," he was never a moral leader of anything at any time in his life.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Never was.

Is this a joke?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

7. "moral" is not a word I'd use to describe Dotard.

Now, if they had a Nobel Prize for pussy-grabbing, he'd be on their short list.

[MyOwnPeace]

31. Tee-he-he!!!!

You said "short list" for IQ45! (hands, etc, etc!!!!)

[NCjack]

8. We have no moral leaders in our government. Sen. McConnell and Congressman

Ryan are spineless checks on Pres. Trump. There are just as guilty as he is of kidnapping the children.

[olegramps]

27. I include every one of today's damn Republicans.

[axm]

10. Donnis has never had morals

And now he has poisoned our great nation with his depravity.

He can't be flushed down the shitter of history fast enough.

[Wednesdays]

11. Indeed. Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

[Orsino]

12. Never moral, never a leader. n/t

[Solly Mack]

13. He never was. He never could.

[matt819]

14. Next step

World leaders need to speak out with the same sort of condemnation - and more.

Plus, and this is important, no more visits by foreign leaders. None. Zip. Zero. No more Spanish royals. No more presidents or prime ministers. None. And issue travel warnings to your citizens. Turn down any invitations, and don't initiate any such travel. Stop tourist travel. Yeah, yeah, I know working Americans may be hurt. But this issue transcends this.

If you're a royal or a president of prime minister or other head of state or head of government, if you show up here for a formal visit, you are considered a supporter of trump's policies. You, as much as any republican, own what is going on on our border. You have no credibility.

[MyOwnPeace]

33. You are correct................

We need MORE world leaders speaking out - you know, someone with the moral courage to say it like it is!!!!

It is SO obvious that the Pugs don't have the moral fiber or courage to do so - the Dems don't have the majority to enforce anything, and the public must wait until November.

The Dems and the public CAN continue to put on the pressure - and world leadership would be a significant boost for our efforts.

(I know, the Trumpsters think the world can go F**K themselves - they ain't gonna' change, but a world-view could help convince some undecideds ((yes, I know THAT too - how can ANYBODY be "undecided" about this idiot!)).

[TNNurse]

17. Guess he did not think that whole Nobel Prize thing through did he????

[flibbitygiblets]

38. That he ever even thought he had a snowball's chance in hell of that happening

shows that he is clinically insane and incapable of anything approaching actual self-awareness.

[Gothmog]

18. Who is surprised by this?

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. I'm guessing that the Nobel Prize is no longer a lock?

He's going to have to make another speech to get it back within his grasp.

[jb5150]

20. Don't be sad Donnie,

you're still in the running for Russian employee of the month.

[flibbitygiblets]

39. You'll always be my little puppet!

[NNadir]

21. He is nothing more than a criminal. Period.

[George II]

22. Oooops. Instead they're going to award him the "No Balls Prize"

[Toorich]

23. Perhaps a consolation prize.....

..... for cutest little reThug smirk and whispery voice.
Threeway tie - tRump, pence, and ryan.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. Moral, schmoral, give me my Nobel Peace Prize.

Obama got one, fake prize, fake prize.

But I want one, gimme one!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Kiss that peace prize goodbye, Spanky.

[world wide wally]

29. Whoever said he was to begin with?

[gilligan]

30. When was

Trump the moral leader?

[BadGimp]

32. Thank you Captain Obvious!

[Vinca]

35. Hope his cult following doesn't yell "Nobel, Nobel" at his lovefest tonight.

[riversedge]
