The slobbering sycophancy of Fox News for Donald Trump is evident again in their lobbying for him to get a Nobel Peace Prize that he doesn't remotely deserve.

Fox News Host: There’s ‘Universal Agreement’ on this Show for Trump to Get a Nobel Peace Prize

For as long as Donald Trump has been a political figure, he has conducted a shameless campaign for himself to be honored with a Nobel Peace Prize. He may be the first person to ever advocate on his…

So Trump's "peace" still allows for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza?

You aren't achieving peace by eliminating everyone on the other side.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10h

Q: Can you promise Palestinians they will be able to stay?

TRUMP: Uhhh. Well they know exactly what we're doing. You can't live right now in Gaza.

Trump announces publicly that he is going to break federal law (again): "We're only going to cut Democrat programs."

That sort of partisan allocation of federal funds is illegal. He is not the president of the Republican Party. But he wants to be the dictator of MAGA!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 11h

Trump: "We'll be making cuts that will be permanent. And we're only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you."

Why is Trump getting his second "yearly check up" this year? Clearly he is having health issues. And his psyche meds are failing to work.

Trump to get a 'routine yearly' medical check-up — his second in 6 months

The White House said Trump would be at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and undergo a checkup after a planned meeting with service members in the facility.

House Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson is very worried about Democrats "turning us into a communist country." Which they are not doing. There no "Marxist" Democrats.

But Johnson is so worried about it that he's helping Trump and the GOP turn America into a fascist country.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Johnson on nuking the filibuster: "Is it wise? A lot of people would tell you it's not. I mean, on the Republican side, I would be deeply concerned if the Democrats had a bare majority in the Senate right now of Marxist ideology taking over the Democrat Party...turning us into a communist country"

The #TrumpShutdown being is driven by the Republican refusal to extend Obamacare subsidies, that Democrats are defending.

Why are Republicans working so hard against the wishes of the American people, including a majority of their own constituents?

What a DISGUSTING S.O.B.

Trump got 5 phony deferments to evade service in Vietnam (bone spurs?). And now he's disparaging those who did serve as "taking it easy." More than 58,000 gave their lives. And he's saying this to a military audience.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
