Trump Nominated Again for a Nobel Peace Prize – The Gods Must Be Crazy

Trump was just reelected to office this January, and since then, two countries—Pakistan and Israel—have already secured two nominations for him for the Nobel Peace Prize.


If the fact that he has only been in office for less than a year is not enough to raise eyebrows over why he deserves such a nomination, then the fact that his tenure so far has already fast-tracked the world toward World War III makes the case even more bizarre.


Through his new wave of tariffs, Trump is basically strong-arming the entire world into giving in to him simply because he can. The only entities known to behave this way are triads and mafia organizations—and no one in their right mind would accuse those groups of promoting peace.


Just last month, Trump joined Israel in its war against Iran, essentially preparing the entire Middle East for open warfare. After a 12-day conflict, Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire. But only a fool would believe that this ceasefire will result in permanent peace. At the opportune moment, either one of these two countries will break the truce—and in round two, it is highly likely that the entire Middle East will be engulfed in flames.


Permanent peace is made possible by leadership that projects competence and fairness—not supremacist attitudes and exploitative strategies. Be it a person or a nation, if you have practiced to perfect yourself and are committed to being fair even to those less skilled or powerful than you, then peace will follow. But if you simply believe you are entitled to remain on top and have no qualms about using your advantages to strong-arm and stamp down others in order to preserve your superiority, then even if you achieve peace—it will be a superficial one. Beneath it, quarrels and strife will fester.



This has always been the case in the underworld. And I am quite certain it will prove true in Trump’s administration too.


If that is the case, then why is Trump being seen as a figure worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize?


To that, I have only one answer: “Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.”


You know madness has set in when right looks wrong, wrong looks right, good appears bad, and bad appears good.


That Trump is seen as a figure representing peace is, in my eyes, proof that the gods have decided to destroy the world. And in line with their intention, they have first made many of its leaders mad.

No matey, it's not the Gods are crazy, it's the brown-nosers like Paki and Shailoks who want to stay in the Clown's good grace, so they are in super-bodek mode.

The frigging MFer Clown has an obsession for the Peace Prize because Obama already has it, and he can't stand the thought of a Black American winning one whilst he has none, wakakaka.

A special note:

Le Duc Tho

... in 1973 Le Duc Tho became the first and only person ever to voluntarily refuse a Nobel Peace Prize. The prize had been awarded jointly to Tho, a North Vietnamese politician and diplomat, and U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger for their work negotiating a ceasefire in the Vietnam War.

As TIME reported, the Nobel committee’s decision “aroused an unprecedented storm of criticism”:

Only at the White House was the announcement greeted with unguarded praise. Kissinger was unabashedly delighted; President Nixon, who might have hoped to win it himself, said that the award gave “deserved recognition to the art of negotiation itself in the process of ending a war and laying the groundwork for peace.” Hanoi, however, was resoundingly silent, lending substance to rumors that Tho would not accept the prize.

The biggest reason for the controversy was the obvious one: despite Tho and Kissinger’s work, the war in Vietnam continued (as it would for more than a year after the Nobel announcement). And many argued that Tho and Kissinger had been just as responsible for creating war, not stopping it.

[Tho] ... agree that Vietnam was not at peace—and, further, as the Nobel Committee puts it, “his opposite number had violated the truce.” He declined to accept the prize. 

He said that he might reconsider if peace were restored to his country eventually, but his decision stood.

Asian pride & integrity versus (one) low class Wankee hardup-ness, wakakaka. Ptui!
