That’s right folks- our stable genius president asks reporters to return their “Noble” (sic) prizes.

It’s not really clear at all what in the world he meant by that. It’s like something written by a third grader or something a drunk person would say- it’s wrong on so many levels and needs so much correction the actual intention of what it’s supposed to mean gets completely lost. So let’s see if we can work through it.

It’s likely a misspelling of the word “Nobel” Prizes. And he likely doesn’t know that journalists don’t get Nobel Prizes. He may have been thinking of Pulitzer Prizes, but again it’s hard to decipher through so many layers of abject and pitiful ignorance.

“ In the later-deleted thread, he wrote: "When will all of the 'reporters' who have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes) be turning back their cherished 'Nobles' so that they can be given to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right.”

He said he could give the “Noble Committee” a "very comprehensive list" of those he deemed "real" reporters, and he then asked when it would demand the prizes back.

He said: "Lawsuits should be brought against all, including the Fake News Organizations, to rectify this terrible injustice. For all of the great lawyers out there, do we have any takers? When will the Noble Committee Act? Better be fast!"...

After the president tweeted, Ben Rhodes, a former national security adviser in the Obama administration, wrote on Twitter: "Trump's weird obsession with the Nobel Prize seems entirely rooted in the fact that Obama won it." President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.

Rolling Stone reported last year that Trump even asked Japanese Prime Minster Shinzo Abe to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize for his negotiations with North Korea...

As "Noble" began to trend on Twitter, Trump pivoted to arguing he was just being sarcastic.

After deleting the thread, Trump later tweeted: "Does anybody get the meaning of what a so-called Noble (not Nobel) Prize is, especially as it pertains to Reporters and Journalists? Noble is defined as, 'having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals.' Does sarcasm ever work?"

(facepalm) This sounds like something from the Onion. But it’s real, folks. This is really your president.

Yeah. Yeah Donald. Sarcasm can work. But this is not sarcasm, honey. It’s just really sad. Keep working on it though. You might get it right one day. That’s a good boy. And don’t be so jealous and greedy all the time. It’s not good for you.

Doesn’t it make you proud, confident, and comfortable knowing that you have such steady, sophisticated, and competent hands guiding our nation through this current crisis?

He outdoes Himself. I can't wait for Trump's next declaration of ignorance. And He won't let me wait.

Better use your stimulus check to move to Mexico. Trump is a shoe-in for re-election. Vice-Predator Biden is toast.

If that happens, Mexico may need to start thinking about building that wall after all, considering all the people who are going to be running across the border- the other way.

Trump will then be free to give all the Fox and Breitbart reporters all the “Noble” prizes he wants. He can then be free to finally give himself one too.
 
this is a horrible US President.


supported by a lot of people. many who are struggling to pay their bills while he tweets.

I agree. Mexico should get on that.

Yes! We need to save our outrage for legitimate things, like Obama’s secret Kenyan birth certificate.

He was raised in Kenya and heavily influenced as a youngster by Muslims and grew fond of their decadent religion.

This is why he has always been so friendly to Islam and wanted to import millions of them over to the United States.

Wait, are you serious? Now you think Obama was raised in Kenya? :lamo:lamo

It seems you are confusing Kenya with another foreign country (I won't tell you which one- do some research- but it's on a different continent). I know it's hard to know the difference between all those darn foreign countries- anything east of the Mississippi is all the same, after all, right? Darn foreigners!

Stop. Just stop digging. You are not helping your cause. You don't need to work so hard to prove your ignorance. You are just making it worse. Just stop, you're killing us! :lamo

It's around 90% chance Trump will win again. I'm laughing my as* off here in Finland if you guys vote for Trump. Trump is so full of shi* and people are loving it. Thank God I'm not in US (I know, US is greatest country in the world, bla bla bla.. and I'm so buying it).

I don’t rejoice at any country that elects a populist demagogue who proceeds to destroy that country. Why would you find pleasure at that happening in my country?

Never underestimate the abject hypocracy of Trumpsters who literally cheered the Access Hollywood tape and shrugged their shoulders when Trump had a bag man pay off a couple of strippers.

The US equivelant of Silvio Berlescone has made the idea of American world leadership into a global joke/tragedy. And the flat earth types love it.

Huh. twump has been credibly accused of sexual assault/rape by well over 20 women, so it's good to know you won't be voting for him based on that.

He obviously didnt write that last tweet.

"As it pertains to" is no part of his vocabulary.
 
A semi-literate president can't spell words.

News at eleven.

I think that may be a stock filler phrase that he uses. It’s not worth researching.

I actually do think that Trump is only semi literate. He obviously only reads at about a fifth or sixth grade level, or less.

You can see it when he’s reading from the telepromptor.

He never reads anything in advance. When it’s in the prompter, he’s reading it for the first time.

He regularly stumbles over long words (three syllables or more).

I remember him giving a telepromptor speech on finance (when the press was wondering what his fiscal policy might be). The words “fiduciary responsibility” were especially difficult for him.

But then, since he doesn’t pay his bills and routinely defaults on his obligations, “fiduciary responsibility” might be a difficult phase in more ways than one.

It's a fact Jack. Look it up. He wasn't born in a Muslim country but he was raised in one during his most impressionable years. Poor guy.

GOP wins or fails based on America's opinion of the DNC. That is why Trump won and that is why Trump will be re-elected. The DNC is out of touch with moderates and independents and the DNC nominee will alienate the progressives even in their own party.
