Trump Insists He Would Get a Nobel Prize, If 'They Gave It Out Fairly'

On Monday, President Trump said that Nobel Prizes aren’t handed out “fairly.” And if they were, he believes he would receive one for “a lot of things.”

While speaking to the Pakistani Press before a meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, President Trump was asked by a reporter if he deserved a Nobel Prize. Trump was in New York, taking part in the United Nations General Assembly with world leaders from around the globe. He met with several leaders on Monday and took questions from press during the meetings.

“I think I’ll get a Nobel prize for a lot of things if they gave it out fairly, which they don’t,” Trump told reporters while he was with Prime Minister Khan.

During his answer, the President also criticized President Barack Obama receiving a Nobel Peace Prize “immediately” after Obama was elected President.

He has money. People always worshipped it. He manipulates, and deflects criticism well. He's narcissistic, arrogant, self-absorbed. Anti-social personality disorder. I'd guess attention deficit disorder. And he has practiced these methods for all of his decades. Delusional defense mechanisms, no matter what happens instinct is to reassert self-brilliance, perfection, beauty. Everything else is deflected.

And anyone who files bankruptcy 5 times would be disqualified anyway. When you screw over as many people as Trump has any award given to you should be immediately rescinded.

Love letters to Kim, who hasn't denuclearized anything? For the Crown Prince of Saudi , butchering Jamal Khashoggi while he was still alive and now, for sending American soldiers to fight the Saudis war for them? For making an ass of himself on the world stage by bowing before Putin and allowing him to continue interfering in our Democratic elections? Trump deserves what he got...nothing.

24. Trump has two problems
Tue Sep 24, 2019, 05:02 AM
Sep 2019

The first is there’s no Nobel for “most corrupt national leader.”

The other is, if there was an award like that he still wouldn’t get one because all his friends are even crookeder than he is.
