Ron Filipkowski on Trump's chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize

My own observation is that Trump’s chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize decreased somewhat when he rolled into office threatening to invade Greenland, annex Canada, extort Ukraine, and seize the Panama Canal.

He'll have the one token peace he supposedly brokered just
to make it seem legitimate to his base...

however, I think he will try to win it behind the scenes through
threats and bribes.

He'll complain about it ENDLESSLY. That's what he does. And EVERY TIME HE DOES, it gives him one more opportunity to complain about the LIBS, which will be met with high-fives from the MAGAts, who will keep buying his gold sneakers and "RUMP WATCHES."

Just like the veteran who gave him the Purple Heart.

"I always wanted one of those."

A draft dodger, always wanting a Purple Heart for doing nothing.

So now he wants the Nobel because he'd been denied. Just like Melania spewing venom over Vanity Fair not putting her on the cover.

You're probably right. It's "a matter of principle" for him, as contradictory as that sounds.

and ordering massive human rights violations with the brutal treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers.

And I bet when he attends The Hague he will ignored and leave early like the G7. I look forward to seeing the videos of him being ignored and scorned.

It's not that ugly things won't be happening, we won't hear about it anymore.

The probability of Trump winning a Nobel prize is (CDR nil)
