Donald Trump Nobel Peace Prize nomination withdrawn
Donald Trump Nobel Peace Prize nomination withdrawn
Ukrainian politician Oleksandr Merezhko said he has "lost any sort of faith and belief" in President Donald Trump.
A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who put Donald Trump forward for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn his nomination.
Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine's parliamentary foreign committee, told Newsweek on Tuesday that he had "lost any sort of faith and belief" in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Merezhko said Trump had "virtually no reaction" to large-scale strikes on the Ukrainian capital in recent weeks, adding: "He has chosen the path of appeasement."
Why nominate his bitch ass in the first place?
As per the article: Oleksandr Merezhko. Without knowing more about him, he does seem genuinely far from being on Russia's payroll or part of the proto-fascist elements (beyond potentially the usual accidentally being a useful idiot like many centrist liberals end up being, sadly). Seems more like an old school centrist out of his depth, but with genuine convictions for liberalism, for what it's worth.
My guess is that he either completely misestimated what Trump really is about - or maybe put forth the nomination to bait his narcissist side into doing more, with the prize serving as a carrot on a stick. Either way, he was quite wrong in hoping for Trump doing much to end the war.
The best justification for him receiving the nomination, or even winning, is simply reading the list of previous winners and nominees
Nonsense doublespeak prize for losers and rubes.
Because anyone can get nominated but it takes a real dickhead to be rescinded lol
Because conservatives are still salty about Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. We've basically forgotten about it, but they think about that all the time.
Lol you'll never win you piece of human garbage
Maybe if it was the Nobel Rape prize, or the Nobel Fraud prize, or the Nobel Fleece People For Everything They've Got Prize, you'd have a chance.
Oh cmon, look at how hard Donny is trying to make a peace happen, he’s even saying mean things about Israel now. “No new wars”
Why the fuck did he sign it
I've given up trying to understand that man's thought processes. I've decided he has none.
ChairmanMeow, His reasons for signing were unclear. Sincerely, Raymond Holt
This is some I Declare Bankruptcy energy lol
Fuck it, nothing means anything anymore. All institutions are crumbling. Give ‘em the Nobel Prize, give ‘em the Fields Medal, give ‘em the Heisman Trophy, give ‘em the Mark Twain award.
Yeah, I had the tiniest bit of faith in the Anti Defamation League, but after they called Musk's stunt fair game I realized pockets of money could even buy ethics groups. From here on out, unless a group manages to zero its profits or earnings by the end of the year, they're untrustworthy.
that he had "lost any sort of faith and belief" in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
I mean that's a great assessment, nothing to add. I'm just not sure why it took him this long.
Read between the lines. He actually lost faith that sucking up to Trump will do anything at all.
Sometimes you can get what you want out of Trump by trying to appease him. In this case, his love of Putin is too strong for it to work, though.
I just want to thank you for the Corner Gas reference.
Can someone tell Pakistan there is a form to withdraw your nomination? That'd be great, thank you.
Wait... I thought Pakistan nominated him. Why nominate him as a Ukrainian when he wants you to give up parts of your invaded land. When he promised to end the war within 24h after inauguration, but did nothing but make a mess. When he's Putin's little bitch... Why are people trying so hard to make Idiocracy a reality?
If a Nobel got him to calm down, I'd let him have it. It might as well be so much toilet paper anyway.
If Trump wants to go all full-dictator, he might as well look the part and adorn his chest with medals like a bird hoarding shiny objects.
Contemptible shitbag.
We’ve blown way past idiocracy now. we’re deep into ‘don’t look up’ now
Going towards The Handmaid's Tale
They did. I am confused too.
"I wanna suck his balls!"
"No, I want them balls, fuck off!"
"Hey, I was here first, his balls are already in my mouth, wait your turn bro!"
Dildos can't win peace prize.
This FUCK is unbelievable. He wants a cookie for withdrawing a nomination which should never have been made in the first place? Should we applaud?
Read this garbage, talking about appeasement. This Merezhko a fascist himself, and every accusation is a confession. What about the literal far right extremists and nazi sympathizers in Ukraine who are responsible for the maidan massacre and helped grab power and start and escalate the civil war? What a fucking farce.
It needs to become clear to everyone that you can't just demonize Putin and deify tools like Trump or also Obama. They all play geopolitics. They all only care about gaining and maintaining power. The world has gone fucking insane believing this shit.
He's not having a good week so far.
Oh man, I thought he had that in the bag too.
I would have thought Ukraine would pull him the moment of that stupid White House incident.
Give the idiot a peas prize, not like he can read.
um, duh?
The Peace Prize should be given to those who give justice and that's certainly not Trump.
Nor are most of the actual recipients.
Why?
