I’d have to agree that he’s going a little cuckoo.

Let Trump rage.  He is likely jealous that anyone is awarded a Nobel Prize for actually doing something while his unqualified demands for a Nobel Prize have been laughed out of consideration.

I would too,
If I spit the dummy,
And couldn't find it again. :mrgreen:

Get a grip on yourself, Donny.
You are just making things worse,
With you hurt ego tantrums. <sigh> :wink:

I've mentioned this some time ago:
The "Nobel Peace Prize" is hardly the "prize" it was when it first came onto the scene.
Condolences to Sheldon Lee Cooper. :mrgreen:

Don't worry Goldfish, we'll vote him out of office this year. Because we've got this real competent, popular guy to run against him ... ohhhh, we're doomed :(.

Vote him out anyways. Biden is less dangerous. You can relax a little for 4 years while people get started cleaning up trump’s mess and then r consider your next right move after that.

Any functioning adult 2020!

I think Dear Leader may be a bit confused (or just plain ignorant), as there is no "Noble" Prize for Journalism.

There isn't even any such thing as a "Noble" prize -- it's actually "Nobel"

When Alfred Nobel signed his will in 1895, he specified that the bulk of his estate be spent on awarding prizes for those who made significant contributions in one of five fields.  These fields are chemistry, physics, medicine, literature and peace.

A sixth Nobel Prize was created in 1969 in the field of economics. This award is not technically a Nobel Prize because the Bank of Sweden finances funds for the award.  However, some of the committee nominating and selecting a winner in mathematics have ties to other committees that grant the Prize to those in other science branches.

Maybe Dear Leader was thinking (and I use the term loosely) of the Pulitzer prize ... ?

That’s what he probably meant....the Pulitzer Prize.

Trump is pretty unhinged to send these sorts of tweets in the middle of this pandemic.

Picky! Picky! Picky!

This tweet storm shouldn't distract us from his great idea... that we all should go to tanning salons and take out our lungs and place our lungs onto tanning beds. That's the only way I can think of to get that internal UV treatment to prevent corvid that he suggests! Might work. And your lungs will look great. :D

Just thought I’d share my dad’s witticism from last night:

Quote:
Trumps news briefing two hours starts soon so another two hours of the surreal to enjoy.
Perhaps if we injected tomatoes with bleach they would turn into white grapes?
