    Dude is going to surrender Ukraine and claim to be a peacemaker, while sweetening the deal with a chunk of Alaska.

      Why are no leaders playing him like a fiddle on this?

      Ensure Russia ends the war with the same or less land than it started with and he’s a dead cert

      Reality doesn’t matter to him so just string him along

      a perfect place for Putin to build a road and put tanks so that Putin and Trump can divide up Canada.

          If the three major world powers (America, China, and Russia) ever sort out their authoritarian governments, it’d be neat to take a train across the world to Beijing.

            100%. Russia likes to control the countries on their borders, to act as a buffer against invasion. Better to defend you country on someone else’s soil, and destroy their assets. We use the oceans for the exact same thing.

            That is, until he deliberately made enemies of those on our direct borders. Next he will want to control those countries, because he will feel it is very important to controlling the borders.

            And all these ideas are coming from Putin. After their meeting, expect HitlerPig to start spouting all sorts of nonsensical concepts that would be terrible for us, but great for Putin.

              Russia likes to control the countries on their borders, to act as a buffer against invasion.

              And, after having engulfed many countries while building their empire, Russia now has the longest border in the word, yet still wants any state adjacent to its border to be subservient to it.

              Fuck 'em. Russia should be broken up into tiny pieces.

          Can you at least give Canada a heads up when you start making it even easier for Trump and Putin to get our country from all sides at once? Thanks.

      My prediction is that Putin will offer him Alaska in exchange for Canada, and Trump will grab it, without considering that Alaska isn’t his to give away, nor is Canada Putin’s.

    I just can’t imagine being so immune to shame that I call to nominate myself for the Nobel Peace prize. Especially if I had raped children and it was widely known.

      His psychotic parents deliberately never instilled any sense of shame, guilt, consequences, empathy, etc. in him. He is a remarkably broken human, an actual psychological specimen. He should be locked up, and studied by scientists. Very few people have had an upbringing that was literally tailored to create a psychopath.

        He’s a sociopath - just like the rest of billionaires. Having that much wealth, no matter how you got it, and keeping it, is already an act of great violence against many. But these people employ special psychologists and therapists to “get rid of” what’s left of their conscience. They’re essentially training themselves (and their children) to be psychopaths from a very young age. Even the ones who were actually born with something of a morality compass will have gotten rid of it by the time they need to step into the family company’s hierarchy.

          I often call the Sociopathic Oligarchs, but I’m finding that more and more of them have graduated to being Psychopathic Oligarchs, including the Traitor-in-Chief.

      Well Obama (not bad guy, but had not really done anything Nobel price worthy) and Kissinger (really bad guy who had no commitment for peace, guite opposite should it be opportune for his view of US foreign policy) got the price also. Soooo from that point of view it isn’t too crazy from Trump’s view to desire one.

      Of course takes guite shamelessness to propose oneself of course, but yeah. Wouldn’t be even close to first time someone not deserving got Nobel peace price. Which is sad, since on the other hand very deserving people over the years have gotten it. Giving it to non deserving people diminishes the recognition it gives to the deserving ones.

        He’ll start threatening Norway soon, to extort a prize out of them.

        Not that such prizes should be given at all to world leaders. Only ordinary citizens working for peace should receive awards.

    Given how the last decade has gone, I expect he will be given a Nobel prize.

    He just magically gifts everything he wants. I hate it.

    Just another reason the conspiracy theory about Obama giving himself the prize is bullshit. Too many people would have to keep a secret with no incentive to do so.

      Anyone can be nominated, all you have to do is persuade some minor legislative assclown to put your name in.
