Nobel is awarded for 2024 actions, not for something that happened three days ago.... Since Trump knows that too, this whole Nobel push feels like nothing more than propaganda to stir more chaos and division.
You know DN that would be all well and good except that the timeline for Obama receiving his is the same for Trump. He took office in 2009 and received it in 09 as well. So what did Obama due in 08 as a candidate to impact international relations and peace.
It’s not that I particularly care about Trump winning. Does he deserve it? Evidently several foreign national leaders his administration has worked with this year thought he did.
No one knows who nominated Obama, that was confidential.
It’s the hypocrisy of the double standards they’re now so lazily flaunting.
I had to play some catch up on Ms Machado and what I can tell she is certainly a deserving candidate and seems to qualify, at least with what little I know of her. So congratulations to her and hope she keeps up the fight.
It is altogether significant that in her victory and the celebration, by so many it is not a celebration that this deserving person won. But in the crass celebration that Trump lost. Nothing more nothing less, petty political narratives.
It’s not on the criteria of who won. Rather solely on who didn’t receive it. So singularly not based in reasoned intellectual discourse.
Then it is also thoroughly enlightening how determined so many are to not just dismiss her recognition of Trump. For his efforts to advance peace accords and support peoples who are struggling against authoritarianism.
But to simply ignore her appreciation and public dedication to President Trump.
To not even speak of it, to erase it, attempting to rewrite history in real time.
It very much smacks of “Newsspeak”
