Re: The Donald Trump thread

No idea what that means but they have just printed that Donald J Trump has not been awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize!

Temper tantrum incoming!

Just pointing out that it must be tough in the editorial office there to pump out another daily negative article! Accuracy v advertising £££ is tough sometimes!

It does say the nominations had to be in by January mind, so, realistically, he was never going to win it this year.

Indeed.

If he has any sense (!!) he will warmly congratulate her, which he should do considering who her political enemy is.

Even if he does help to achieve peace in Palestine/Israel, it's way to early for any awards.

It's almost as if his threat to annex Greenland and the Panama Canal in the time he had in office before nominations closed somehow went against him!

I can't see much negativity with it to be honest but nonetheless we must all be grateful Shirley that the Nobel Awards committee is impartial and free from fear or favour. Congratulations to the Venezuelan winner.

I have no doubt that Trump is probably furious and his photo opportunity has gone for this year,
however, the moment they gave the award to Renegade, it was devalued.

If only the Guardian could be as positive with its news as The Daily Mail

Yeah it's great news and whilst I don't know her full story, what has been happening in Venezuela, with all the resources at it's disposal is a very sad story.

Apparently MAGA is a bit sniffy about a chunk of Idaho coming under Sharia Law.

Now as we all know the governments in many south american countries are corrupt! Take brazil for example that just got 20b from Igolf Shitler. just because you live in a back hole corrupt country, doesn't mean you can't win the NPP. you should know , you live in one

As President Trump’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton spent many of 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves.

The result is a “scathing and revelatory” (The New Yorker) White House memoir that is the most comprehensive and substantial account of the Trump Administration, and one of the few to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the President, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a President for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation. “I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by reelection calculations,” he writes. In fact, he argues that the House committed impeachment malpractice by keeping its prosecution focused narrowly on Ukraine when Trump’s Ukraine-like transgressions existed across the full range of his foreign policy—and Bolton documents exactly what those were, and attempts by him and others in the Administration to raise alarms about them.

He shows a President addicted to chaos, who embraced our enemies and spurned our friends, and was deeply suspicious of his own government. In Bolton’s telling, all this helped put Trump on the bizarre road to impeachment. “The differences between this presidency and previous ones I had served were stunning,” writes Bolton, who worked for Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. He discovered a President who thought foreign policy is like closing a real estate deal—about personal relationships, made-for-TV showmanship, and advancing his own interests. As a result, the US lost an opportunity to confront its deepening threats, and in cases like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea ended up in a more vulnerable place.

No The Canary can still be an annoyingly crude site for stories that broadly reflect left wing politics. It has been good with its coverage of benefits and disability rights, very good with its coverage from inside Gaza, and completely lunatic with its regular horoscope!

But leaving aside the style and focus of the site - how excited are you by the idea of an Arc de Trump in Washington?

It's ridiculous, although the name is funny enough that I could be swayed!

That’s exactly what we need in DC…more bleeding monuments/memorials.
