Just like the veteran who gave him the Purple Heart.

"I always wanted one of those."

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.
