NBC had to stop carrying the show "The Biggest Loser" because it was clear in 2015 both who accurately held the title and would continue to for the next decade.

Joke falls flat.
Dude became president of the wealthiest most greedy nation on earth. As a greedy fuck he won the best prize possible. And now there is a god damned cult following him, and stacked the supreme Court in his favour to gain him complete immunity.
He is a piece of shit, but that does not sound like losing.
Losing sounds like the Democrats.
But sure sure he's the biggest loser. 34 felony charges and dude ends up in the White House a second time.
I wish I could lose so hard
I wish I could praise dear leader so hard
What a spoiled child. Like a kid that fucked up at schools and was still allowed to graduate. The ultimate participation trophy. A life where no actual consideration, effort, or sacrifice need be made and still be handed everything.
Fuck that guy.
Came here to post this story. Anyway, it's amazing that this is not The Onion.
Oh man. Donald j Trump, the current president of the United States, that raped children with his best friend, Jeffrey r Epstein, list the nobel Peace prize. What a shame.
How could the peace prize have gone to a guy that indiscriminately and extra-judicially murders people in boats for attention... along many other reasons.
- Threatens northern and southern neighbors with whom your nation had shared peaceful relations for centuries with invasion
- Doesn't get Peace Prize
- Shocked Pikachu face
Ahahahaha get REKT you dumb fucking droopy cunt
He'll create his own Trump Peace Prize, and he'll be the first recipient. Additional prizes will be available for anyone willing to "donate".
With hookers and blackjack
This is so fucking dumb that I can actually see him doing this tbh
With a one billion dollar payout, of course, not just a meager million.
Straight from Fort Knox, obviously.
Guess he's not getting into Heaven now
The fact that it went to a Venezeuelan woman is going to absolutely enrage him.
The committee know what they're doing lol
Hope she's not a fan of sport fishing.
What a loser; they just gave that thing to Obama as soon as he got elected and Trump has gotten elected twice and has been campaigning for the prize for months now, asking everyone he knows to nominate him but they gave it to a woman opposition leader from Venezuela instead. Hopefully he’s really hurt by this.
Someone who is both foreign and female? Oh he's gonna be PISSED
I like this for him. His greasy little heart is under so much pressure, after all...
Loses? He was never eligible to win it in the first place. You can nominate a goldfish to win a mountaineering award all you like, but that doesn't mean it going to happen.
Lol he did lose. Even if he didn't know he wasn't playing, he thinks he lost, and I like that.
Nominations were in January, he never had a chance. All for attention
Yeah, this is a weird way to frame this story. Did he also "lose" at Jeopardy and the NLDS? Just because he said he wanted to win doesn't mean he was either nominated or considered.
Do you need a reason to call him a loser?
No, just an occasion. This is but one of many.
Guess we're invading Norway, huh?
The winner is a Venezuelan politician, so perhaps Trump will launch that war he wants with Venezuela to go retrieve "his" medal from them.
Launching a war to go retrieve his Nobel PEACE prize. This stuff writes itself lol
Pedo Protectors
I wish Trump would write himself out of office.
Him, Vance and the Pedo Protector.
“That did not sway the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which on Friday said the recognition was going to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.””, for those too lazy to click but curious who did win
Ah, so the Nobel Committee is antifa, I see...
Look, if he can facilitate a lasting peace in the Middle East (without turning Palestine into a golf resort), he deserves the thing. But the idea that he can force an agreement and then get a Nobel two days later is flat out dumb.
It's not like an Oscar, which is only given for this year's movies. They give it out for major achievements that take years (decades?) of hard work to achieve.
The idea he deserves it for facilitating "peace in the Middle East" even if this does stick is ridiculous. We helped fund and arm a genocide. Forcing the people being genocided to finally acquiesce to the genociders we supported is a wild way to interpret him as deserving of a Nobel peace prize.
This MLK quote says it all: "True peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice". If the US had sided with the nazis and helped them "establish peace" by keeping all the territories they held and allowing them to continue their policy of concentration camps, is that also deserving of a Nobel peace prize? He is personally responsible for a huge rise in fascism, the decline of a democracy, and fomenting violence and hate which have already lead to deaths. Nothing he does for the rest of his life can change his impact to something positive and I would hope the committee, which I don't even take seriously considering their previous picks, can see that.
Nobody likes him, except his idiotic cult members
The nomination closed days after his inaugeration. He would never get it this year..
Yeah it seems nobody understands this.
Trump has no concept of shame, therefore everything he says and does is shameless... with every fiber of his being.
