Nobel Institute Torpedoes Loser Trump’s Desperate Plot for His Own Prize
FOILED AGAIN

President Donald Trump’s dream of being handed the Nobel Peace Prize has been killed within hours of him saying what an “honor” it would be.

Trump, 79, is due to host Nobel laureate María Corina Machado in the Oval Office next week, amid a public and behind-the-scenes lobbying campaign to have Machado hand her prize to Trump, both to appease the president and to encourage him to endorse her as a replacement for deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

Speaking about that possibility...

realize what a huge ass he is making of himself. I mean, he has been doing it for decades, but this Nobel Prize bullshit is really insane. And it's obvious that he only wants it because Obama got one. People all over the world are laughing at him and I'm not even sure he has a clue.

It's just a piece of jewelry. All he wants is the medal. He's so superficial he thinks that's all he needs. He'll put it with all his other "trophies" and think they are real. You know all those gulf trophies he gives himself at his club every year. He doesn't really win them but he still shows then off and brags about them like they are real. He's just a pretender.
