This is one piece of gold that President Trump is never going to get his short, stubby fingers on: an 18-karat gold medal with three naked men embracing, awarded to those who promote peace, democracy and human rights.
The Nobel Peace Prize has been given to some beauts — like Henry Kissinger, for helping end the Vietnam War he perpetuated to aid Richard Nixon’s re-election.
But the prize was not designed for someone like Trump. The Norwegian Nobel Committee would no doubt discontinue the award before it would give it to him.
His longing is partly inspired by his jealousy of Barack Obama, who absurdly got a Nobel Peace Prize after only eight months in office for just being a cool dude.

He insisted on having a military parade here in June and he’s planning a U.F.C. fight next June on the White House South Lawn for the country’s 250th birthday.

Call your dogs off New York Slimes.
Why no peace in the USA, Mad Mo? Your comrades, the dems.
NY Slimes sez,”The Nobel Peace Prize has been given to some beauts”
Like that murdering terrorist Yaasir Arafat? Like Nelson “necklace” Mandela?
Hey Maureen, did Trump turn you down for a good time? You’re sure acting like it.
Keep in mind that the recipient immediately dedicated it to DJTrump.
You forgot O’dumbo.
thank you.
hey Maureen, enjoy your box wine and cats while Micheal and Catherine enjoy their family
Give it a rest Mo.
What a load of 🐄💩🙄.
MoDO cites Henry Kissinger.... but not the terrorist pederast Yasir Arafat?!
The last President with any kind of military service was George W. Bush, in the National Guard.
