This is what will happen to me on Monday with the economics Nobel, I'm sure.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

THE VERY DISHONEST FAKE NEWS MEDIA ARE SAYING MS MACHADO WON BECAUSE SHE IS THE OPPOSITE OF ME, BUT THE VERY GOOD PEOPLE OF NORWAY TOLD ME PERSONALLY IT IS BECAUSE SHE FOLLOWS MY EXAMPLE. MANY OTHER PEOPLE SAY THE SAME. I KNOW MORE ABOUT PEACE THAN ANYBODY IN HISTORY, ESPECIALLY THAT FRAUD OBAMA.

veroordeeld. IK geloof ook niet dat F. W. de Klerk ooit zijn racisme heeft afgezworen. Aung San Suu Kyi heeft vooral niets gedaan om de genocide tegen de Rohinya te stoppen.
Woodrow Wilson was een racist met KKK connecties die vooral vrede wou omdat hij bang was dat een nieuwe oorlog /

Het kan alle richtingen uitgaan. Het leger van Abiy Ahmed heeft zware oorlogsmisdaden begaan nadat hij de prijs heeft gekregen, en nu is er een serieus risico op een nieuwe oorlog met Iretrea. Begin en Arafat zijn voormalige terroristen die bij mijn weten de misdaden uit hun jeugd nooit hebben/

Never forget that previous laureates of the Peace Price include Abiy Ahmed, Yasser Arafat, F. W. de Klerk, Aung San Suu Kyi, Mother Teresa, Menachem Begin, Henry Kissinger, Woodrow Wilson.
