Over the weekend we learned that somebody in the American government, and we're looking at you, Jared, asked Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to nominate Donald Trump for the Actual Genuine Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to alternatively belittle, threaten war with, and then threaten peace with the North Korean dictatorship. And that Abe apparently did it, almost certainly as a near-free effort to flatter Donald and simplify future conversations with the man.
We can only speculate as to why this unnamed U.S. government Nobel-beggar was forced into action, but perhaps it was because the only two nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize Trump had gotten up until that point had both turned out to be "forgeries" peddled by someone who wanted Trump to be nominated but didn't have the credentials to do it themselves.
Nobel Committee Secretary Olav Njolstad disclosed on Tuesday that two separate nominations, one from this year and one from last, were referred to the Oslo police. The Oslo police then confirmed that they had contacted the FBI about the forgeries, an indication that they believe the documents originated in the United States, and that they believe the same forger to be behind both attempts.
It's really quite amazingly pathetic and deeply funny, so let's all bask in it for a moment.

(4,858 posts)...regarding this "administration". Forged Nobel peace Prize nominations. I'm coming to believe that Trump really *is* Andy Kaufman in disguise. When's the great unmasking...?

Oh....that's right. Donnie wants one too. And why? Not because he thinks the institution is such a great high caliber body, but BECAUSE THE BLACK GUY GOT ONE!
And so all his deplorable army now has been convinced overnight that the NPP is the shizzle in their dizzle.
