"It’s like you’re sitting in a bar, and there are all of these fights going on all around you. You look over, and you think, ‘Not my fight...' And then someone comes into the bar, and this horrible fight ensues, and you think, ‘Oh, God, that’s my fight.’”

Donald Trump and the Aggressive Pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize

Daniel Paisner @danielpaisner.bsky.social · 6d

how 'bout we all agree to pacify this man with his coveted #NobelPeacePrize, on the condition that he immediately resign his office and renounce every public position he's taken since helping Kevin through the lobby of the Plaza in "Home Alone 2"?... deal?...

Bloomberg News @bloomberg.com · 6d

"Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize," Donald Trump told the UN last week. Will the Norwegians on the receiving end of his brash lobbying agree?

The president said it would be “a big insult” to the US if he doesn’t win. Some in Norway fear retaliation if he’s disappointed.
