When the White House posts shit like this it is fucking embarrassing. Given even a singular fuck about a meaningless prize is fucking embarrassing. Gloating about Machado 'giving' him the prize after he said didn't care to make her the Venezuelan president is even more embarrassing and if he now endorses her to become the Venezuelan president then it confirms the rumors that the only reason he snubbed her was because she didn't give him the prize in the first place.

Add to that that he can't stop himself from publicly acting like Bibis lapdog it doesn't make him look in any way respectable. It makes him look like an embarrassing cunt.

I don't really see how that tweet is embarrassing in itself though. If someone decided to give you their nobel prize, shouldn't you recognize their generosity? Even if he did believe the prize itself was meaningless, it would look insulting and ungrateful if they didn't post about it.

They think Trump does this because he's sooo desperate for a Nobel that he'll settle for somebody else's. In reality Trump does this to mock the Nobel for ignoring actual peace and giving prizes to people just for being black for example.

Better question is how have they not figured out Trump's messaging by now.

He is. He grew up during a time when the Nobel prize actually had prestige, and that's why he desperately wants one too.

Bullshit.

It is embarrassing because Trump made it quite clear that he wanted it to be awarded to him and was quite pissed about not getting it.

No. You shouldn't even accept it in the first place.

Yeah, politely declining would be the more humble move. But then that would also indicate that he agrees with the Nobel Committee's decision. If you regard the Nobel Committee as full of shit, then accepting it is an epic troll move. It's basically like flipping them off.

I was scratching my head over that as well. What a bizarre context to make that statement.

Because he's not being issued the prize. This person is just giving him the medal and he's marketing it like it's some big thing.
