Trump, actually involved in ending wars - can’t get the prize because he doesn’t always say nice things. The whole thing is a joke, no idea why Trump even covets it. The Nobel Committee lost their credibility long ago - but any remaining shred of credibility is now gone. Oh well - on to Ukraine/Russia
dwy000 Posted October 10, 2025 Posted October 10, 2025 Wow, not only did they middle finger Trump by giving the prize to a Venezuelan, a woman, a Latino, they basically rubbed it in with their accompanying statement.

Sheesh! This is pee wee stuff. Seeing as though I read the article that I posted, I didn’t ignore the context. What you fail to admit is that rhe ONLY reason he’s a “lead invertor” is because he’s the president’s son. I’m sure if Malia were pulling the same stunts during Obama’s presidency, you’d be advocating for her. She’s such a smart business person! Edited October 10, 2025 by Buckeye

YOU start by posting something demanding answers from people; basically saying Hunters Burisma gig was the same as a lead investor getting a board seat or an IPO specialist getting an IPO, and now walk it all back to “he had the money to make the investment and get the board seat cuz dads rich”….to which I chuckle and just shrug, cuz yea, that’s the way the world works, sport.

For some reason this reminded me of when Steely Dan "beat" Eminem for album of the year and everyone just kinda rolled their eyes and laughed at the obvious bias of the blowhards whom present these dumb "awards"....they make the Baseball Writers Association look competent.

Somehow, Trump manages to thread the needle and create alliances where there were none. The only thing I take from this shocker is -- EVERYONE in the Middle East is delighted to seen Iran's Nuclear program destroyed - so they need not live in total fear of the lunatics in Iran (what's left of them). The US provides the perfect counterbalance. Trump is an amazing negotiator as demonstrated by his art of the deal. The naysayers will never get over it - certainly not the Nobel Prize bozos or the Ivy League Idiots in the Biden/Obama administration that armed Iran and proxies to the teeth.

The winners of the Super Bowl also thanked the losers last year. Its a meaningless gesture that will be forgotten almost immediately. And they may be "dumb awards" but Trump was sure desperately plugging for it. So it means a lot to him.

They're putting a middle east base on US soil because they gifted Trump a jet...and you think this is wonderful? Deep cult. Even Laura Loomer is livid about this one. That says something.

And I gave you my take on the move - it was done to make the deal. Trump threaded the needle on this deal. He pissed off lots of people. Israel has to be livid about returning 2000 terrorists back to Gaza. Hamas and Iran's proxies have to be livid about losing the war in such humiliating fashion and having their Muslim Brothers turn on them to force a surrender. He made the deal that no one could make - and some are delighted and many are pissed about the final terms. But it's clear that in addition to Hamas, Iran is the Big loser - and their Muslim neighbors are delighted to have them defanged.

This has nothing to do with Gaza and Israel. The only deal behind this was their gift of a jet to Trump.

All done for their role in leading the peace process. Qatar is run by a bunch of gangsters that funded and shielded Hamas, but are terrified of Iran. Qatar is rewarded by the United States for stabbing Hamas in the back, but earns their payoff by getting US protection against Iran. The other loser of this move is Israel. Typical Middle East snake pit. Edited October 10, 2025 by cubsfan

The “dur let’s can something blatantly good because some rich people might benefit”? It’s pretty much the same reason NYC lost that huge Amazon HQ deal. Hate to break it to you, but the haves pretty much always benefit. Otherwise, yea, totally agree Lutnick’s firm (a financial services firm FYI) making investments in a secular theme is totally the same thing as a no experience drug addict getting a director seat on a foreign energy board… You may be correct Greg, but c'mon, even you have to admit the sales/grift under the Trump administration has only been seen in the likes of Russia or some banana republic. The amount of shit he's shilling, or his company is, or his family is, or his associates are, or his friends are...it's like Christmas x 100 for them all. He's doing the policy changes he promised, but he's making a shit-load of money now and securing future deals that will make his family one of the wealthiest in the U.S. over the next 20 years! Cheers!
Gregmal Posted October 10, 2025 Posted October 10, 2025 Happy to help the confused. Today we learned that Cantor Fitzgerald specialized in SPAC IPOs the past decade and that yes, in venture capital, investment firms leading funding rounds often get board seats! Silly libs…shoulda learned that in those expensive university courses you levered up to take.

It’s ok though. You guys just need to stop falling for the crap the MSM feeds you and you’ll be alright! The MAGA media is now part of the MSM...you would do well to follow your own advice! Cheers!
