“They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize. It’s too bad. I deserve it.”
If you were to read that quote to people on the streets of the world at random and ask them who said it, I think the vast majority of them would see only one possible answer.
I can’t think of anyone who ever won the Nobel Peace Prize who campaigned for it or bragged about it.
Of course, I’m not sure there has ever been anyone with an ego like Donald Trump.
Trump believes he has the perfect solution to solving the war between israel and Hamas over the Gaza Strip. His solution is to move the 2 million Palestinians living in Gaza to Israel and Jordan and turn the depopulated region over to the United States. We would then turn the region into a Middle Eastern version of Atlantic City or the French Riviera.
“I don’t want to be cute. I don’t want to be a wise guy,” Trump said. “But the Riviera of the Middle East, this could be … so magnificent.”
And, he said, it would create thousands of jobs. Good jobs. Jobs like hotel maids, bellhops, valet parkers, blackjack dealers. People who would smile when a winning gambler tossed them a chip. People who knew their place as part of the service economy. People who would act properly submissive around rich white people.
Big hotels and casinos, at least one with the name “Trump” on it.
Big Bad Don doesn’t want to give foreigners humanitarian aid. If they want anything from him, they’ll have to accept degrading jobs where they can serve him and other people like him.
If there is one thing obvious after 16 days of Trump 47, it’s that he feels few of the restraints he felt during his first term in the White House. For one thing, despite the Trumpanzees in Congress trying to change things, Yambo is a lame duck and can’t run again.
With that in mind, Trump has already done some of the craziest things of any American president ever.
— Taking over Greenland.
— Taking back the Panama Canal.
— Making Canada the 51st state.
— Renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
And that’s not even mentioning the actual policy proposals, many of which involve decimating the federal government, particularly in the area of law enforcement.
And he certainly won’t get the Nobel Peace Prize for that.
Mike: Yet another lame-brained missive from a Trump-hater that can’t see beyond the end of your nose. You, and AOC, and Bernie Sanders, and others refuse to accept the future that was voted for by over half the country. The only things that are impeding progress are people like you who are jumping up and down like lunatics while this administration progresses. Fortunately, you will benefit from everything Trump is doing, regardless of your opinion. As time progresses, your numbers will slowly diminish (just like Biden’s supporters as they realized his absence of cognition) and all your bitching and moaning will slowly die off. It’s already happening on the fake news networks like the Counterfeit News Network and BS-NBC as their viewership diminishes. Trump has staffed up with the most intelligent and capable people in the country this time around. They will succeed, while Sharpton will go back to his tiny church and AOC will go back to bartending, where they belong.
Always a pleasure to hear from you, my old friend. One of the few saving graces with Trump is that he makes two of my old frien ds — you and Mick — happy.
