Trump met with an actual Nobel Peace Prize winner. It didn't go well.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

The headline: "A Yazidi woman from Iraq told Trump that ISIS killed her family. ‘Where are they now?’ he asked."

For several minutes in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Murad stood beside a seated Trump, who mostly avoided eye contact with Murad, and implored the president to help her community return to Iraq. She explained that the Islamic State, or ISIS, may be gone but that Iraqis and Kurds are now fighting for control over Yazidi lands.

...Trump said: “And you had the Nobel Prize. That’s incredible. They gave it to you for what reason?” “For what reason?” Murad replied. “For, after all this happened to me, I didn’t give up. I made it clear to everyone that ISIS raped thousands of Yazidi women.” She told him she was the first woman to get out and speak publicly about what was happening.

In the same meeting, the president also seemed not to know that Rohingya refugees had fled violence in Myanmar, also known as Burma. In a confusing exchange, a Rohingya man, Mohib Ullah, told Trump that his people wanted to “go back home as quickly as possible” — an apparent reference to western Myanmar — and asked the president what the plan was to help them.

“And where is that, exactly?” the president asked.

Nadia Murad explained that ISIS killed her mother and six brothers. In response, Trump asked, "Where are they now?"

[hlthe2b]

1. It was a horrific encounter that only underscores... he doesn't give a damn.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. He gives a damn about the Nobel Peace Prize, which he thinks he's entitled to

but some foreign woman got for her work as a human rights activist. That must have roasted his walnuts.

[democratisphere]

6. Exactly.

Nailed it.

[lapfog_1]

14. some foreign woman OF COLOR...

and I don't think he has walnuts... more like pinenuts.

[leftieNanner]

28. Chia seeds

[SoCalNative]

37. I think you mean

pistachios

[MFM008]

53. Sunflower seeds.

[pandr32]

8. Not only that, but he is not qualified to do anything

...or meet with anyone. He is a complete moron--the face of the Republican Party.

[riversedge]

13. More like his dementia is rearing itself more and more.

[lunatica]

47. President Obama would have known why she received the Nobel Peace Prize

Obama would have stood respectfully and listened to her plea for help.

President Obama would have put his arms around her.

Hell! Obama would have known the names of her entire family!

[guillaumeb]

2. She was not his type.

Which is to say, stupid.

Another example of Trump's own utter stupidity.

And by implication, an example of the stupidity of Trump voters who think he is smart.

[tenderfoot]

3. when a picture says a 1000 words...

He looks like he's so interested to hear what she has to say.

[targetpractice]

9. He looks terrified. Intimidated. n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. He looks bored to me. n/t

[wryter2000]

15. Oh, crap

Who arranged this meeting?

[spanone]

22. He. Couldn't. Care. Less.

[tenderfoot]

31. Nope.

Not one empathetic bone in his body.

[3catwoman3]

33. More like 10,000.

That is pathetic.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

38. His disdain drips from every pore of his corpulent body.

From not standing while talking to Nadia Murad, or seating in a chair facing her, or even acknowledging her presence, Fat Donnie once again demonstrates the lack of character he has exhibited his entire life.





One of these is a douche, and one is a feminine health product. Can you guess which is which?

For reference, here's how a real President greets a Nobel Prize winner:

[Bayard]

65. The Obama clip

We didn't appreciate the normal we had back them. The warmth and respect shine thru.

[malaise]

43. Actually he looks absofuckinglutely

insane

[SergeStorms]

45. Whoever scheduled this photo-op...

(because that's all it is to the Orange Hemorrhoid) is looking for a new job this afternoon.

[Fritz Walter]

60. Not to mention a conscience

If not looking for a replacement immortal soul.

[lunatica]

49. He looks like a king forced to suffer through these endless begathons

The things he has to do for his country! He’s craving a hamberder really bad.

[ProudLib72]

61. You aren't talking about ME

Therefore, I'm not interested. You can just go back where you came from!

[Raven]

4. That young Nobel Prize winner looked like she was trying to explain something to a 2 year old. n/t

[FakeNoose]

46. Chump doesn't understand a word she's saying, but he's pretending to listen

I guess that's being polite in a way - the fact that he's pretending. He just waits for her to stop talking so he can say something stupid. Whenever a REAL President is in the Oval Office (like Obama) we can assume that he's been briefed ahead of time. We can assume that he'll be familiar with the visitor's story and he'll respectfully allow her to tell it.

But nobody briefs Chump, he won't allow it. When it's not about him, he doesn't care enough to listen.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. You can not fix the Stupid!

What a dumb ass. They killed her family,"where are they now".

Wow,talk about a total Stupid.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Obviously he wasn't listening to a word she was saying.

[Wellstone ruled]

29. Tells you the make up of a

person when that something like that conversation happens. Nothing more than a photo op,oh,and Nobel Prize. "How did you get that". Geez,what a petty jealous POS he is.

[qazplm135]

10. this woman got a nobel prize and she doesn't even have any money

or power and she's not even a hot Eastern European woman...why can't I get one?

[Girard442]

11. "Where are they now?"

Does Trump even know where he is now

[Bob Loblaw]

36. They're dead you stupid self absorbed fat fuck.

nt

[jmowreader]

16. The reason he asked what she did to earn the NPP...

Is he was trying to figure out if he could just do the same thing and get his own.

That President Obama got a NPP and he didn’t, and he can’t do anything to revoke Obama’s, will haunt him the rest of his days.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Nadia Murad got hers for being a human rights activist. That's not Trump's thing.

It is, however, the Nobel Committee's thing. So Spanky will be out of luck.

[jmowreader]

25. Exactly

Once the Orange Menace learned what she did, he was like “get her out of my sight.”

[smb]

48. A Scene I'd Like To See

December 2021: Inmate 1 loses his prison TV room privileges after smashing the TV in reaction to a news report about President Warren* receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

*substitute your preferred candidate if you like

[ProudLib72]

64. Kamala Harris

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

68. Any of them.

[Blue_Tires]

55. +1

[Hortensis]

18. He's missing some parts functional human beings have.

A man who who could imagine McCain was regarded as a hero "because" he got captured likely now imagines Ms. Murad was given the Nobel "because" she was raped, and she's not even really all that good looking.

Trump is literally incapable of understanding or appreciating heroism, suffering and noble contributions to humanity. His mind seems to be wherever mine is when I'm doing tiresome chores.

[spanone]

19. An international embarrassment.

He was pissed she got the peace prize and he didn't.

THAT was the only thought in his pea brain head.

[Duppers]

40. Exactly right, nailed him.

My first thought too.

[underpants]

20. I can't help but laugh.

It’s just so sadly funny.

[Botany]

21. Nadia Murad explained that ISIS killed her mother and six brothers. In response, Trump asked, ...

... "Where are they now?



The motherfucker wasn't listening to one word she had said.

Myanmar, also known as Burma. “And where is that, exactly?” the president asked.

Good God in Butter how much longer is this shit show gonna go on?

[smirkymonkey]

23. There are no words to fully express my level of disgust with him.

Every single thing about him is repulsive.

[Tanuki]

24. So incredibly stupid and lazy. His only interest was flying off to his hate rally,

which he opened by saying,
"We can have a lot of fun tonight. I have nothing to do. Nothing. Nothing."

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/07/18/politics/donald-trump-north-carolina-speech/index.html

[brush]

26. His incompetence is so mind-boggling it stuns you. How does his staff let him go so unprepared?

I take that question back. He obviously continues to reject preparation. I forgot for a minute.

My next question is why do those staffers continue working for such an embarrassment?

[James48]

27. IQ: 45

[Grammy23]

30. The look on his face said it all. "I'm bored. How much longer do I have to sit here?

When will someone get these people outta my office. Wonder if anyone will notice if I hit the buzzer for a Diet Coke?”

He wouldn’t even look at the woman next to him. Can you imagine if President Obama had been in that position? First, he would not be sitting there. He would have been standing, facing the woman, actively engaged in meeting and hearing her. He would have been respectful of her and not dismissive. tRump’s demeanor and behavior were inexcusable.

[Thomas Hurt]

32. must be mind numbingly boring for the malignant narcissist that they are talking about him.

[Zambero]

34. Exemplary character and a lizard brain will not interact

This particular "exchange" is a classic case in point.

[BSdetect]

35. Unfit to be in any office never mind the Office of President.

[NBachers]

39. Too bad they weren't meeting with President Barack Obama, or President Hillary Clinton.

Barack Obama would have known about each of these people, and would have related to them in a deeply personal way. Barack Obama would have known the details of their lives; he would have known the reasons why they were there, and he would have known the places they were from. Each one would have left his presence feeling comforted, reassured, and validated.

Hillary Clinton would have been equally up to the task, same as Barack Obama.

This other guy? Zero

[spanone]

41. They probably left the office thinking Americans are the biggest assholes in the world

[grantcart]

42. This is why I can't have sharp objects in my office.

[SergeStorms]

44. But to 40% of Americans...

he's the smartest man on the planet. Sometimes I'm so ashamed of being a U.S. citizen.

[Kaiserguy]

50. Sorry Trump

They don't give the Noble Prize for bring a racist ass !! If they did you would be a big winner

[ProudMNDemocrat]

51. I would have answered before the cameras and Reporters.....

"They are DEAD, you fucking moron.Are you Deaf?"

[Guilded Lilly]

52. Our nightmare continues unabated. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

54. Why the hell did they even invite her

if it *WASN'T* to humiliate yet another prominent woman of color and treat her like an afterthought; like she was some random nobody who just walked in off the street??

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

57. It was supposed to have been a meeting of people from around the world

representing groups who have been the victims of religious persecution. However, many of them were PoC and not Christians, so...

[Tanuki]

56. I wonder what Nadia Murad, who was subjected to unspeakable trauma,

thought of fellow attendee and Trump "spiritual advisor" Paula White praising the rapist-in-chief and thanking him 'for his "courageous leadership" in the fight for religious freedom for all people before specifically mentioning that, because of Trump, people in the U.S. could say "Merry Christmas" again.' (More at link)

https://theweek.com/speedreads/853446/trump-hosts-victims-religious-persecution-from-17-countries-oval-office

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

59. I'm sure she totally sympathized with all the poor, persecuted American Christians

who, until Trump became president, were prohibited from saying "Merry Christmas."

[LibDemAlways]

58. If we had an honest media, reporters would have been all over this event.

The moron in the Oval Office demonstrating his ignorance and stupidity would surely be big news. Nope. Infuriating that this story was ignored.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

63. The story wasn't ignored; just google it. A lot of news outlets have picked it up.

[LibDemAlways]

67. Happened Wednesday. Only now getting some attention.

Better late than never, I guess.

[duforsure]

62. Trump's confused

He thinks he's entitled to get a Nobel Peace prize, whet he'll end up getting is a No Bail surprise for his criminal achievements.
