We all know where Trump’s obsession with the Nobel Prize comes from. Yes, it is a lot like being on the cover of Time magazine – another obsession of his. But the black president won one and that means Trump has to win one. (It also means that Trump has to win another term or he clearly fell short of black president expectations, again, and that is a serious narcissistic injury).

We will be the first to admit that Barack Obama hadn’t done anything – at that point – to warrant winning the Nobel Peace Prize, he won it his first or second year. The prize was awarded to the American people, for having the good sense to elect Barack Obama and not another war-mongering Republican.

Now, Donald Trump has done nothing to win the Nobel Prize and everyone on Earth knows it. Even if he solved Middle East Peace (he hasn’t), he would have points taken away for trying to unleash the 82nd airborne on his own people, and putting kids in cages – he has yet to figure that out.

He also never understood rule number one that regular readers are tired of reading about. The Peace Prize is like Fight Club, rule number one, you don’t talk about the Peade Prize or Fight Club.

But now Trump has gone from talking about the fact that he should win the Nobel Prize, and from the talk about being nominated for it, (By some MAGA head kook in the Norweigian parliament), now he’s just saying he won it. Because fck it, right? If you’re going to invent your world, and make up a pretend one, make it a good world! Did I mention that Nicolle Wallace and I had a great dinner the other night? I made her sea scallops in a white wine reduction sauce with garlic mashed potatoes, and homemade caesar salad, she giggled all through dinner?

Yes, I know he equivocated afterward, he knows exactly what he wants his audience to think!

Yeah, Donald, you won the Nobel Prize. And afterward, his campaign will say that he just misspoke, which is totally understandable. Everyone misspeaks about things this important. Nicole and I had Copper River Salmon, it was last week we had the sea scallops. It happens.

Peace, y’all
