Yale psychiatry Prof. Bandy Lee, who specializes in de-escalating international violence, said the laurels could flatter the President’s ego and keep the easily distracted leader from focusing on keeping out illegal immigrants or starting a trade war.
“Offering the Nobel Peace Prize could help keep the President from his natural impulse to attack, but it would be a perverted use of it, when what he really needs is an evaluation of his capacity to serve.”
Judging by thir past Nobel peace prize winners, I’d say Trump is overqualified.
You forgot the BARF label.
Lefties live in their insulated world.
“I thought you had to accomplish something to obtain the prize,”
Obama’s Peace Prize should have disabused him of that notion. In that case, the committee didn’t even bother to pretend.
This is journalism??
The most coveted human rights honor in the world-—with such illustrious awardees as Yasser Arafat and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Nope. No bias there.
“He’s won of four”
Well - that goes straight to the intelligence of the author.
Odungo did absolutely NOTHING to merit a Nobel Prize except for having black skin. He is the most destructive traitorous shameful excuse for a president who ever held that office. The fact that he held that office, did nothing but things destructive to the U.S. and yet was reelected by the low IQ voters should serve as a startling warning to us all, of how close we are to destruction by a few highly placed individuals. This should be a spur to wipe out all the top level traitorous scum at the FBI, DOJ, and all other fed agencies. I don’t care whether Trump gets the Nobel Prize or not; by giving one to Odungo for doing absolutely nothing to further world peace, the Nobel folks permanently denigrated the entire value of the prize. It is now pretty much meaningless. My cat should get one, as she makes me laugh at her cute crazy antics.
Did they fire all their editors?
They eat the sour grapes and then their heads explode I love it!
If there were, the New York Daily News would win.
(Obama)- He’s WON (?) of four presidents to win the Award. Do these Nitwits ever read what they write?
This effort is actually anti-Trump, especially at this juncture. While he has achieved some spectacular prepatory moves; Trump has not actually achieved anything of great import. And I don’t say that to denigrate Trump, I say that meaning “nothing really important has gotten done” regardless of whom is doing it.
It’s not clear whether China detected the collapse of NKs test site, completely freaked out at the radiation escape potential, and shut down the NK program right f’n now, today. And now NK could be playing that as a concession. (Frankly, IMO this is the most likely scenario, but I can only guess at it)
It’s not established how any inspection and verification regime is going to occur.
And it’s certainly not clear if NK can be trusted in the first place.
Saying all that without taking one atom away from Trump in this particular effort; it is so ridiculously early in the game that the Nobel prize thing is a hex, a jinx. Because if this thing fails, and there are many reasons why it might, the left is going to paint Trump as the hollow showoff. These so-called supporters are goofy, dopey people who should for once in their lives STFU. They can’t wait to hitch their fate to a successful Trump wagon but they will abandon him like the shallow sycophants they are if they smell failure. They and this effort do him, NK, and world no damn good at this juncture.
It looks like some of those sophisticated folks in the biggest cities don’t care much for outsiders like Americans.
With past winners like Obama (invading Libya and turning the ME into one big killing field) and Arafat (the godfather of terrorism) the Nobel prize is no longer relevant.
NYDN is a vile, Trump-hating rag.
CONSERVATIVES: "Uhhhhh...wait...what? How is that possible?"
