No, Trump will not win the Nobel Peace Prize

Not, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, will not be the next award Nobel Peace Prize. It won’t be, despite the fact that Christian Tybring-Gjedde, the ultra-reactionary – and somewhat xenophobic – founder of the Norwegian Progress Party, a true Trump player with Viking sauce, has formally submitted his candidacy for the second time, the last of which. a list already filled with 317 other names.

It will not be despite the shouts of joy (“finally!”, “It was time!”, “No one deserves it more than him!”) Immediately raised to heaven by the priests of the cult. And it will not be especially so because the special committee chosen by the Storting (the Norwegian parliament) for this purpose obviously has no intention, however questionable many of its decisions in the past may be. ridiculous in front of the world.

Not only is it too easy to predict, Trump will not win the Nobel, but it is very likely that, on the day of delivery, the president of the United States will have to swallow, in addition to the bitter mouthful of one. defeat (which will surely be reported by him as a result of fraudulent maneuvers), even an even more irritating toad. All with the more than predictable consequence of a new and even more painful bile transfer.

In fact, one glance at the favorites list is enough to predict Trump’s impending ire. According to Betfair – one of the most popular online gambling sites – three are, as it stands, the most likely winners. At the top of it all, quoted 5-2, is theWorld Health Organization, that Who who, by order of Donald Trump, was, in the middle of the pandemic, repudiated and abandoned by the United States (or that, more properly, was used by Trump as a scapegoat).

And a short distance they follow the Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda andern (rated 5-1 by virtue of its effective antivirus strategy) and Greta thunberg, the Swedish girl who has become a symbol of the fight against global warming (odds: 3-1). Try to think about it. The “enemy” organization on which the President of the United States has shed sins that were his unique. And alternatively two women. Both, as such, are inevitable sources of discontent for a character whose misogyny has reached, at every stage of his existence, heights of extraordinary vulgarity.

Moreover, if we take into account that one of these two very intrusive females, Greta Thunberg, had already entered with Trump (she very elegantly, he with the usual rudeness) on a collision course via Twitter. The odds that the story will end, for the president, not only with a non-victory but with a kind of mockery are therefore, in all respects, very high.

It is true that, thanks to the trade agreement recently signed between United Arab Emirates and Israel – a treaty that is not, in any way, a peace treaty, and that many analysts even consider detrimental to peace in the Middle East – Trump has finally made himself visible on the radar of the bet runner (today it is listed at 20-1, equal to Bill gates, but far below, horror! – of Black lives matter). However, it is also true that this highly illusory entry into the Olympus of the “quotable”, in the end, will only increase the suffering of defeat.

Trump will not win, despite the diligence of his Scandinavian alter ego, the Nobel Peace Prize. He will not win it this year, nor will he win it, if the Americans did, thanks to the farce of the gods. electoral districts, prolong the nightmare of your presidency, for times to come. He is not going to win it, ultimately, because among him (which, it is good to remember, has always said that he is in favor of the practice of torture) and peace cannot exist at all.

Just two notes, just to please. In the past three years, the United States has surpassed the fighting Taliban in terms of the number of civilians slaughtered. And Trump, for his part, vetoed a congressional resolution that cut off ad hoc funding to Saudi Arabia, responsible for unspeakable massacres in the Yemen).

Donald J. Trump will not win that award. But he will remain in history, and this is what makes his non-victories truly humiliating, as the only one who, despite the ridicule, has repeatedly and publicly claimed your right to win it. And that, without winning it for too obvious reasons, he later denounced the fraudulent conspiracy that deprived him of that prize (let’s get ready for a next and even more ramshackle response).

Trump is convinced that the Nobel Prize is owed not only to triumphs never consumed (or reduced to pure spectacle, like his famous “love story” with Kim Jong-Un) but also, indeed, above all, for a much more childish reason: because that award has already been given to Obama. And the, Barack Obama, the true flame that fuels the obsessive and resentful cravings with which Donald Trump has watched, since he was president, the Nobel Peace Prize. And that’s all obsession which, far beyond the already terrifying Trumpian normality, pushes him more and more in the direction of delusional mistakes. Like when, months ago, he invited journalists “enemies of the people” – those who wrote what they like least, the truth – to return the “Noble awards”(Sic, repeated several times) won unfairly by attacking him.

Those “Noble“- it hardly needs to be underlined – they were, in fact, pulitzer prize. And this is precisely the punishment of Dante that today afflicts the (hopefully a little more) president of the United States. Donald Trump will never win the Nobel Peace Prize. But he is doomed, for eternity, to see it everywhere.
