Now, a Fake Nobel – Using Identity Theft
If you held your nose and watched on Saturday, you heard the crowds at Trump’s campaign rally chanting “Nobel! Nobel! Nobel!” to Trump as he took complete credit for the thawing of relations between the two Koreas. Let’s be frank; the vast majority of his followers don’t even know the meaning of the word Nobel, making it a certainty that the chant was planted by Trump operatives. Additionally, FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, a nomination for Trump was forged using identity theft. That’s right, folks, Trumpland is actively working, illegally, I might add, to get Trump a Nobel Peace Prize. The notion of Trump winning a Nobel is as laughable as Bernie Madoff winning Financial Deal of the Year award, but don’t let your laughter cloud your awareness. The Nobel chant on Saturday was not just some spontaneous response from an adoring crowd – it’s an operation by Trumpland because Obama has one and he doesn’t.
We already know that Trump has lied for decades about a number of issues, including his own wealth to get into the Forbes 400. This lie is classic Trump, but more pernicious – this time, he’s not simply impersonating himself to fluff up his own net worth. This time, someone trying to help Trump has used identity theft to nominate Trump for a Nobel. Shortly after that forgery, a crowd of sycophants in Michigan “spontaneously” starts chanting for Trump to get that nomination so he could demure and act (emphasis on act) modestly. What a coingkidink.
Putting aside the fact that the two Koreas have gotten together to mutually protect each of their countries from the lunatic infesting the White House, an end to the Korean War is a major event. And I guess you could credit Trump for that thawing if threatening to murder millions of people would be considered diplomacy and peacemaking. However, the real story here is that Trump is trying to use this major event for his own gain, which, of course, is the entire reason that he inflicted himself on the US in the first place.
Let’s see. Take a look at all the Nobel Peace Prize winners from this country. Dems seem to outrun Repubs by a good bit. No wonder the WH is slithering under the door mat in Oslo trying to get Trump’s name on the list. It must burn their britches mightily that the preceding President got a Noble right off the bat. They never could figure out why. Well, small brained people, here’s how. The Noble Committee knows full well what kind of raw stuff Obama had to endure his entire life to get to 1600 P’A Avenue. He more than paid his dues. Plus, his work with people and neighborhoods in Chicago impressed the Oslo people. They think it counted for a hell of a lot and hoped that it would form an example for others even if a Noble will never be in their sight line.
And, then there’s this: if a singer like Bob Dylan could get a Noble, then why not a reality TV hulk?
1Now maggie, As a body of work I can agree with Bob Dylan being awarded a Nobel prize. There have been many writers who I could not have read on a bet. The poetry /prose is amazing. But trump and a Nobel prize no. He did not broker this peace he just called everyone names. If that be the case all bullies who yell at small children who then rise above the taunts should be praised too! Nobel Committee please NO NO.
2Be aware that the Nobel committee has already confirmed the nominations were forgeries, and have turned over the evidence to police for an investigation. Since it involves identity theft, I predict it won’t go well for the forger.
3I’d rather see Rump get the Darwin Award.
4I think I have learned this about snacilbupeR and their robber baron candidates,
if they can’t legitimately earn it or win it,
they try to buy it.
If they can’t earn it, win it, or buy it,
then they just steal it.
Cause “having it” is what its all about, right?
snacilbupeR don’t do things because they are hard, they do whatever they have to do to have it, whatever it is, the easiest way to get the prize or adulation they crave.
Think about George Steinbrenner in baseball, about the DeBartolo crime family and coach Bill Belichick in football, Ferrari in motor car racing, and etc.
So on this present case, Spanky Drumpf wants adulation from the world and a Nobel Peace Prize would be a nice thing to have on the resume and ego wall there in Drumpf Dower. Like the faux Time magazine covers in all the Drumpf Hodels.
5Sorry, Papa, Mango Mussolini is not eligible for a Darwin either, since he’s already procreated.
6Prediction: Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in share a Nobel Peace Prize. Nothing for Donzo, who goes on a Twitter tirade against Norway, conveniently forgetting he wants all our future immigrants to come from there. And then his head explodes.
Well, I can hope.
7BiilR, I don’t think having procreated officially disqualifies Donnie from winning a Darwin Award, though there’s an auxiliary category for those who are still alive but have removed their own ability to procreate, e.g. by blowing their nuts off.
If he just removes himself from the planet, and takes Mike Pence with him, that would be fine by me, though I want him to wait until the Speaker of the House is a Democrat.
8This is one of traitor trump’s lowest points even for him. His lies are besmirching an honored institution. Traitor trump never earned a thing in his miserable life. He lied his way to shame and no fortune. He should be struck from even being on the list for life.
9What preceded this burst of diplomacy? Kim Jong-Un’s visit to China.
Perhaps China should take credit.
Or, perhaps China is excited that an official end to the Korean War means US troops leaving the DMZ and the Korean peninsula altogether. China has already been pushing other militaries out of the international waters of the South China Sea.
10I am so ambivalent about this.
North Korea is possibly our greatest external existential threat. And the world would be a much safer and more stable place if they would reunite with South Korea in a peaceful manner, and started to display some democratic characteristics.
But if ANY credit for that event accrues to Trump:
Especially if it’s through an ostensibly impartial entity of the Nobel Committee:
We will never be rid of him.
Never.
And his behavior will continue, and probably worsen.
So, though it probably makes me a bad person, I want the reunification of Korea to be delayed just a little while longer.
And the real credit probably goes mostly to South Korean President Moon. He has certainly emerged as the Grownup in the room.
11Trump honestly has probably helped the process a bit, by being an unstable, crazy-ass blowhard who’s scaring anyone with half a brain on the entire damned planet to death. So he’s “helped” the same way that kicking a rusty old machine might free up its corroded gears. But he has no idea how to make that machine run.
Keep in mind, when talking about Nobel Peace Prizes, that Henry Kissinger has one. Trump, at least, has no military coups, targeted assassinations, illegal carpet bombings, or subverted peace talks to his name (so far).
Sort of like ABBA being in the Rock’n’roll Hall of Fame, it cheapens the entire enterprise.
