      I don’t think deserving things (or not) is really a relevant consideration for people like that. They just have things that they want for whatever reason and the power (or not) to have them

        Remember how Putin stole a Super Bowl ring from Bob Kraft? He just asked to look at it then walked out of the room with it. I bet Trump would do exactly the same thing with a Nobel medal if he had the chance.

      He knows he’s dying and is having an end of life crisis. He desperately wants to be liked by the same type of cunts that pick nobel piece prices as sail on mega yatchs before he starts getting fucked in the ass by Satan.

    The Nobel Peace Prize -once granted by a jury of scholars- has been given by politicians to other politicians for years now and has become just as worthless as you’d expect. Trump should definitely have one, just because he likes golden things so much. Maybe they should create a special category, the Trump Nobel Peace Prize, just as the economists did with their “Nobel prize” for economy (or whatever). The latter is not a Nobel prize at all, but who cares. Maybe put double gold on it or better put two medals and extra cheese in a burger roll. I bet Trump would like that,

      Ah, the good old “Swedish Central Bank Prize For Economics In Honor Of Alfred Nobel”, for which they use the shortname “Nobel Prize For Economics”.

      The whole thing neatly reflects the honesty of the profession.

        But the prize in economics is awarded by the Nobel Foundation. It’s a real Nobel prize, just not one of the original ones

          It’s only “real” if your definition of “Real NOBEL Prize” doesn’t include NOBEL Prizes being set up by somebody called Alfred Nobel, which is kinda like calling a Theatre Play done by somebody working at the Shakespear Globe a “Shakespear Play”.

          You will noticed that modern plays in Shakespear style are called Shakespearian Plays, not Shakespear Plays.

          All this neatly illustrates how the Theatre World is actually more genuine than the Economics World.

            Yeah, I consider it real because they’re administered by the Nobel Foundation. Nobel didn’t set up any of the prizes himself - they were created after his death by the foundation set up to d execute his will.

      this can be dealt with

      After the Nazi invasion of Denmark this placed them in danger; it was illegal at the time to send gold out of Germany, and were it discovered that Laue and Franck had done so, they could have faced prosecution. To prevent this, de Hevesy concealed the medals by dissolving them in aqua regia and placing the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid.

    Could we use his narcissism in a productive way?

    What if we get it in his head that he hasn’t built any pyramid yet. At his age, Khufu had probably completed and was buried in his pyramid; the one that is still visible today, five millennia later. Where is Trump’s? What legacy will he leave us? He needs to start building asap

    Once he gets convinced and starts appropriating funds for that, we only talk about that. Non stop. That way he doesn’t make any progress on his fascist agenda. Just a narcissist tar pit.

    What could go wrong? Worst case scenario we have an American pyramid that is not a casino or a hunting and fishing store.

        Jesus Christ tells us to love each other. Even the sick and the mad, we should love. Turning a mental disorder into an insult isn’t what Jesus would want. Jesus would be friends with people who have narcissistic personality disorder, because they’re society’s rejects, and because Elohim has been for six thousand years the god for the oppressed.

            Trolls are people who try to upset others. I can understand why you’d think I was trying to upset you by spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ, and I can understand why you’d think I was trying to upset you by encouraging you to love the mad. But I’m doing neither, and I think your sense that I’m “trolling” in a weird way is your mind’s way of telling you that. I’m here to spread understanding and empathy, not hate.

        Easier to argue that even WWII wasn’t a defensive war (not that I think we should have stayed out of it, just that everything since then has been for sure us causing problems).

          Yeah, IIRC I wouldn’t say that was a war of defense but it was certainly defense of an ally. Yeah the US got blindsided, then MacArthur got it into his head that he could unite Korea and loads of American and allied soldiers died. From what I’ve read, it was a bad one. I’d highly recommend the coldest winter by David Halberstam for ppl who want to learn about this monumental fuck up.

    If Norway just created a Noble Prize, would he notice the difference? And if you surprised him with it in person, no one could ever point out that it wasn’t the Nobel prize as trump can’t stand to ever be wrong so he’d say that’s the one he really wanted all along.

    Problem solved, someone can nominate me for the second Noble prize.

    He’s actually done a phenomenal job of redefining the limits of USA politics. I mean, he’s completely destroying our country, and at a rate that even I have to acknowledge is kind of impressive, despite being horrifying.

    Sadly, I don’t think they give out the Nobel for that. But maybe we can get him one of those trophies little kids get for playing sports.

      Best case scenario for this worse case reality.

      Not actually trying to sum it all up in a quick phrase. This here is just a late night kinda one of those “Yo, that sounds right” kind of thingy things. If you wanna bust my ball sac, let’s talk sports. I hope we are all on the same side politically speaking. If not politically on the same page then your mother is a Munt.
