If Kissinger and Obama could get it, why not the Donald?

2018-05-04

[PRESSTV] If war criminals like Henry Kissinger and Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
could get the Nobel Peace Prize, then Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
could also be awarded it, says an American political analyst and activist.

Myles Hoenig, a former Green Party candidate for Congress, made the remarks while commenting to Press TV on Thursday, after President Trump's closest Republican allies in Congress nominated him for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, giving him credit for pressuring

North Korea into accepting a possible denuclearization.

Led by Indiana Representative Luke Messer, 18 of Trump’s most ardent supporters in the House of Representatives wrote a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Wednesday, recommending the Republican head of state for his work to bring peace to the Korean Peninsula.

"It’s not that unusual that his cadre of Republican sycophants would nominate President Trump for a Nobel Prize. To them, Trump is delivering on the undeliverable. Whether he has earned it or not is not relevant. Since Trump is trying to reverse everything that Obama attempted to do, it’s no surprise that they feel if Obama should have received the Nobel, why not the Donald?" Hoenig asked.

"And why not? Look at the Nobel committee’s history. First, they did give it to a war mongering president before he was even a war monger, President Obama. Yet even before his first bombs dropped on innocent villagers or droned individuals, he was already silent about the massive war crimes being committed by Israel during the Siege of Gazoo when he was only President-elect. His argument for his silence was that foreign policy should be left to the sitting president, George Bush. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
he was quick to condemn and verbalize his outrage over the Mumbai massacre during this same time," he stated.

"The Nobel committee sure has had second thoughts now that Obama’s term is over and he had extended Bush’s wars and added a few of his own. You would think they would think twice about making such a blunder," the analyst noted.

#11 Trump should accept the prize and then donate the yearly prize money to the NRA. Watch heads explode.

#8 Yasser Arafat (Palestinian terrorist) got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. Obummer got it before he did anything (Come to think of it, did he ever do anything?).

#7 The thing about the Obama prize was how blatant it was. Typically they'd have waited and then overblown some action as deserving but they didn't want to wait to virtue signal. He got the award before he had a chance to do anything. Nobel is worthless after that.

#6 If offered to Trump, he sould refuse it.

With a tweet saying "It's nothing but a joke"

#5 Remind me again , "What exactly did Obama DO to get the Nobel Prize?'

It was free ?

#4 Judging from some of the past recipients, the Nobel Peace Prize doesn't mean very much. If offered to Trump, he sould refuse it.

#3 Obama: 1st (and hopefully only) Affirmative Action Nobel Peace Prize Winner.

I expect Winnie Mandela to get it this time. The comittee leans heavily leftward. After all they gave it to Arafat.

#2 Remind me again , "What exactly did Obama DO to get the Nobel Prize?' Perhaps I missed it. Was it his speech in Cairo, perhaps? No?

Was it his smile in Paris? His Vacations in Hawaii? His Golf scores?
His deep bows to The Emperor of Japan and Saudi Arabia, then ?
No? Hmmm.

( I've GOT it ) His wonderful Obamacare program and his compassion for the sick people everywhere, and their high insurance premiums ? That must be it.

The fact that he was black and the smartest man in the room? That He was the Messiah and shot a thrill up everybody's leg ? Well, at least a mild thrill.anyway. NBC vowed that it was more like an electric shock from their little toe all the way to an ecstatic whack in the gonads... or was that TIME magazine?

Besides he DESERVED it because he was Black ( well, half black anyway.
