I wish any reporter would ask Trump a simple question like, "Can you say a number between 500 and 1000?" or "What is the capital of the United States?" or "Name a country in North America."

"**“He knows very well that the Nobel committee is independent,” **

I don't think he is familiar with that concept.

Norway of all places. The country with some of the best ratings for quality of life, education, safety and nearly every other metric.

The reason, I’ll bet, is that people who are happy and well cared for are more difficult to exploit, which is the only metric his psychopathic brain cares about.

He already failed ‘who’s the president of the Virgin Islands*?’

e: sorry, I mixed this up, it wasn’t Puerto Rico, it was the Virgin Islands.
To be fair, it’s the same dumbfuckery.

More like he still thinks Norway controls the Nobel prize and he's still mad he didn't get it.

So, are you saying that the USA's healthcare and quality of life is worse than that of a shithouse country?

Because our healthcare and quality of life is inferior to Norway's. According to... everybody but you, you blathering dingus

So much of the web became a hot mess in the past 20 years or so. Sure, some sites had popups and tried to force you to watch some Flash intro and so on, but we need so much compute just to read text on a screen due to all the shit being injected into the mix, and all for ads, mostly. What the fuck do I even need Javascript for (as a user) to read news? There is no real legit need for JS bullshit to be running in such a scenario, at least from the reader's perspective.

A great example of enshittification. Browsing the web without a defensive posture (using something like FF + blackhole + VPN + ublock origin + Noscript, etc.) becomes so infuriating.

I had to laugh when the same people that brought us enshittification constantly try to mock and deride "old" tech like RSS so that the clueless will drift away from such things, if they even knew about it at all.

I just need to render text and pictures to read news sites. Maybe follow a link to a video. Why do I need a great big ball of JS scripts running on my machine to accomplish that?

I doubt donnie dumbass even thought about it that hard or knows any of that.

He is just a man-baby throwing more ketchup on the wall because the black man got a prize and he didn't. He will just never get over so many things - Obama having two terms and getting a prize that he didn't being fairly high on the list.

Trump made the comments while complaining to the audience in Port Huron, Michigan, that the Nobel Peace Prize was won by a “woman nobody had ever heard of.” “I said ‘What about me? Do they do two of them?’ Think of it, I settled, so I’m not in love with Norway. Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually,”.

Thus in his mindset he's worse than some unknown loser girl.
Let's give the orange one the benefit of the doubt. He's indeed much worse.
So who is she?

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay for her efforts to promote peace and international law. Navi Pillay’s commitment to universal legal principles and her firm moral compass are constants in a long career.
... Today Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in the case where Myanmar stands accused of genocide.
Link: https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-releases/nobel-peace-prize-for-2026

Ok sure, that's an easy win. Besides sucking up to other genocidal maniacs in this World, Trump neither has a moral compass nor legal principles.

Pretty sure that’s why Vance was chosen. Remember that Mike ‘mother wouldn’t approve’ Pence wasn’t subservient enough for trump and went against him in the 11th hour.

It won't work though. All Trump has to do is say, "I'm fine," and he can act as President again after being removed.

I visited Norway a couple years ago. It was a god damn fairy tail. Waterfalls and fjords everywhere. Pristine rivers, mountains and forests. Clean air and water. Amazing restaurants and public transportation. Everyone spoke English. I would live there...easy. My only complaint is it is a bit expensive but the quality of live trade off would be worth it.

I get what you’re trying to say but saying this feels wrong. It just bothers me when Anglophones present this as some measure other nations should strive for.

We had better not forget about him. Just like we had better not forget about all of the other monstrous people in our history and the monstrous things that they’ve done.

Maybe in his mind there's a significant difference between a shithole and a shithouse? I don't want to subject myself to the insanity of trying to parse his irrational thoughts any further though.

I spent 12 most learning Norwegian. I never had to use it once. My grandfather spoke it, but was a bit stubborn so we never learned it. I was more stating basically everyone in Norway speaks the English, which is nice for many international travelers as it is a common denominator for communication. Norwegian is not very useful as a second or third language, but I did enjoy it.

He couldn’t make dark money hand over fist in Norway, so he can’t understand why anyone would want to be there.
