RIP Nawar al-Awlaki and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki. Your deaths were not in vain as we have roads to show for it.

yep children dying in wars is truly terrible . We can call it whatever we want but it is wrong , very wrong.

Obama made a choice to limit feet on the ground to save american lives and to sanitize war for Americans, i am not sure i agree with it. I am not sure we should be able or willing to conduct war without risk or without exposing ourselves.

Of course Keep in mind it was Bush who started the two wars which have killed so many and spread so far. It was Bush's desire to strike and to be seen to be striking out, instead of targeting the group or nation that actually caused the harm.

Neither did i think OBama should have been given a Nobel Peace prize so soon , it was an over correction to Bush's war mongering and i believe they regretted later when Obama did not or could not wind up the wars ..


But none of that has anything to do with Trump chasing glory, Trump begging for an award and shaming us all by doing so. Trump has already shown his true colors he will never get an award of such stature at least not unless he does something incredible and confounds us all.

Yet Trump still feels cheated out of the prize.

That's part of it. Trump HATES Obama and is EXTREMELY jealous of him. Barack got a Nobel? Trump wants one, too!

Also, Trump just wants an award, wants to be recognized. Like a young child, Trump wants a trophy he can put on his mantle, right next to his longest shutdown in govt history certificate

You do realize that is what happened with Obama, right?


`
Obama didn't campaign for it.

It was the Nobel Peace Prize Committee that made the error. They admitted later that the purpose was to encourage more world leaders to adopt the globalist approach Obama was heading for (I know many of you didn't like it -- yeah yeah).

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/obama-...cial-1.2644513 Obama camp angry, embarrassed over 2009 Nobel Prize: official

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...way-rebuke-war Obama administration rebuked Norway over Nobel peace prize, diplomat says

It was kind of ridiculous and it seems even the Obama administration saw that.

And if Trump had any inclination to read or inform himself, he would know that it is not likely that it would happen again -- that a US President would get a Nobel Peace Prize for talking about trying to get peace -- lol.

Who knows what happened here?

Was it Trump's admin. trying to snag him a prize or someone else setting him up?

Hilarious that there were two attempts that were falsely submitted.

You have to be a moron to believe Trump has actually accomplished anything regarding U.S. of A. safety, much less, world safety.

From Psychology Today:

"... The narcissist doesn’t care about discovery, whether legal or the ordinary kind. He cares about promoting his truth even if it is a bald-faced lie and everyone will know it soon enough. And he will brook no challenges and will never admit it was a lie to begin with."


Who does that sound like ?

But seriously, one must be damaged to watch this man in action and come away with a positive impression. He's an imbecile.
This made me giggle.

His staff uses the prize as a carrot on a stick. And world leaders do the same. They know Trump's got a big ego and he wants his prize.
She hasn't sung yet.

Two nominations for Trump to receive the Nobel in 2017 were, apparently, forged. When contacted to confirm the nominations the "nominators" stated they did not nominate Trump.

CLOWN SHOW.

Lets not forget that on Sunday we discovered that Trump told McCabe to "Call your wife and ask her what it feels like to be a loser"

Trump is a horrible human being and if you support him...well. Yeah.
We've got Trump figured out. It's obvious that he is a two-bit hustler, crystal clear that he could not care less about you or me, that this is all about stroking his bloated ego. Where you really begin to wonder is the motivations of those that continue to support him.

You leftists' figureoutter is as inept as your crystal clear ball in predicting the outcome of the 2016 election, and the results of great things being carried out by the Trump presidency is proving you wrong once more.
