Obama did not deserve that one. Henry fucking Kissinger got one. The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke at best, and a bastardization of the idea mixed with horrific propaganda at worst.

And was horrified that people used it to make bombs. That’s why he started the prize.

If I remember correctly Obama got it like a couple of weeks into his presidency before having done anything. While continuing a war. So yeah it’s meaningless.
To give a peace price to any president is laughable

He essentially got it for not being Bush.
Not saying Donnie deserves it but we need to stop pretending that Obama getting the prize is some sort of achievement.
Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if the next elected Democrat president got it either.

Honestly, the next Democratic president might actually deserve one if they stop the active fashist takeover of democracy. Even if they do nothing else and continue all current wars etc. Not being Trump could probably save thousands if not millions of lives.

Unless it’s Newsom, then we get fascism light and he gets a Nobel peace prize and I die a little more inside.
