This is such obviously corrupt behavior. I still have no idea why anyone is still playing along with it. The world needs to be unified in its rejection of everything Trump represents.

Because the USA is the most powerful country, both militarily and economically?
And politicians have become spineless yes men.
they sold thier soul and spine to putin.
It's incredible how much of fucking every bad thing that has links back to the Kremlin.
It's the same reason most of the political class give in to corruption. Money. He's just doing what oligarchs do domestically on an international scale.
Money is also why most people refuse to strike, or do anything that might rock the boat. We're all so pampered we have abandoned all the morals and ethics we virtue signal for selfish, temporary comfort.
Can I ask a really dumb question here?
Why the fuck does Trump want a Nobel Peace Prize?
Like, what does he think it means? Does he not understand that he needs to, you know, be a decent diplomat? Or is it one of those "Oh, shiny!" Things?
It's Obama isn't it? Obama got one so he has to have one? He's not going to be happy until he has two, isn't he?
Yes it's because Obama.
He wouldn't be happy if it starts raining titties and ice cream, but yes, if he gets one he'll desire two. If he gets two he'll desire something else. I'm no Buddhist but this is a man who cannot regulate his desire and is clearly miserable because of it.
Because he's a narcissist. And obama.
Tbh it means nothing Obama got it after bombing kids in the middle east and arming israel.
Trump wanting it is just cuz he wants to one up obama.
And if he gets it he will finally be happy and leave us alone?
He prioritized bombing Yemen and supporting the genocide of Palestine he gets squat.
He can't stand having a black man be better than him.
Ok. Now, this is a new level of stupid. We've gone full infant.
He's punishing the USA because he didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize for... Nothing.
And he does it by slapping Tarrifs on India, because he thinks that it punishes India.
Does he think that the USA is somehow the only buyer of goods and services in the world? I mean that would make sense why he keeps doing that.
Does he think that the USA is somehow the only buyer of goods and services in the world?
Yes he thinks it's 1950.
As an Indian American, I fucking hate Modi but I would love to see these two kill each other (if even metaphorically)
That would be a tragedy. They shouldn’t kill each other. 😉
your little disappearing act, hasnt made people forgot about president epstein.
Toddler in Chief throws a tantrum...
Child.
Really nice of Trump to prove Obama really did earn his prize fairly by showing how next to impossible it is to sleaze your way in.
Let's not fool ourselves. Obama got it after less than a year in the presidency, with drone strikes killing civilians still.
It was mostly virtue signaling.
Glad orange Hitler is begging for one (and failing)
It might have just been the whiplash from a Bush Admin to Obama, but he was very quickly making a lot of friends in the Middle East.
By 8 months in he had already begun a slow strategic withdrawal from Iraq and helped negotiate disarmament with Iran, alongside 6 other nations who wished for Iran disarmament. Although after Obama received his prize Iran talked about producing more enriched Uranium again in November and the Nuclear Disarmament deal wasn't signed until 2015.
The fact that Trump dismantled the treaty just goes to show, again, that it's not something anyone could do.
He's still comedy gold for Putin, as more other countries become alienated by the West.
