Trump Texts Norwegian Prime Minister To Clarify He Does Not Want Nobel Prize, Fourth Time This Week
“Just so we’re clear,” reads text sent at 2:47 AM
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump reached out to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre early Tuesday morning to reiterate, for the fourth time this week, that he has absolutely no interest in receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, a prize he does not want, has never wanted, and cannot stop talking about.
“I can’t think of anybody in history that should get the Nobel Prize more than me,” the President said Monday, adding immediately that he did not want to brag. He then bragged.
“Nobody else settled wars,” he continued, which is technically a sentence.
The prize in question was awarded in 2009 to Barack Obama, a man who speaks in complete sentences, reads at a pace exceeding one word at a time, and has never suggested injecting bleach, light, or veterinary medicine into the human body. Obama assembled an administration of people who had read books, could locate countries on a map, and understood in broad terms how the world functions. He did not brag. He used long words correctly. He could spell them.
Oslo gave him the prize essentially for existing in a composed and literate manner, which, in fairness, the committee found refreshing.
World leaders this week declined to comment on the Nobel situation, as they were busy processing other things. French President Emmanuel Macron, asked about Trump’s remarks at a press conference in Paris, paused for what witnesses described as “quite a long time” before responding. “If I stood at a podium and said I deserved the Nobel Prize more than anyone in history, they would not applaud,” Macron said carefully. “They would make a phone call. To doctors. With a particular kind of vehicle.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was more direct. “In Germany we have a word for a man who believes he alone has saved the world and requires this to be acknowledged daily,” he told reporters in Berlin, “but we have agreed as a nation not to use it anymore.”
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, maintaining the expression of a man who has given up being surprised, noted only that the United Kingdom has “a robust tradition of understatement” and that he found the current American communication style “quite different from that.”
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said nothing but was photographed staring at a wall for eleven minutes.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida issued a formal statement expressing confidence in the strength of the alliance, which diplomats confirmed was the politest possible way of saying nothing at all.
What struck observers across capitals was not the Nobel Prize itself, but the American public’s apparent comfort with the situation. Polls show 47 percent of U.S. voters find the President’s behavior completely normal, a figure European officials have taken to reading aloud to each other at dinners for the sustained entertainment value.
Trump has been president twice. He has settled wars. He does not drink. What he has done with disinfectants and UV light is a matter of public record and active medical curiosity.
Does he want the prize?
No.
“I don’t want to be bragging,” he said, at a press conference, in front of cameras, into a microphone.
He then bragged.
Støre’s office confirmed receipt of the texts but declined to comment, noting only that the Prime Minister had read them.
At press time, the President had settled a ninth war, which he described as “not for the prize or anything.”

@ML3democrats @terrychristian It’s not just that he’s 79. The problem is deeper and more disturbing than his age.

BREAKING: French General rips Trump over begging Europe for help in Hormuz crisis – "He shot himself in the foot . . . he can f*ck himself!”x.com/Megatron_ron/s…
On French TV, Army Gen. Nicolas Richoux said Trump "shot himself in the foot" by antagonizing Europe, trying to invade Greenland (an EU territory), ignoring allies, and launching his Iran war without consultation.
Now that the strait is clogged, tankers are sinking, oil prices are surging, and the global economy is reeling. Trump needs help, and his former friends and allies like France are saying “non”!
"He wanted to invade Greenland, an EU country, a little while ago,” Richoux reminded the host. “And now his old friends, whom he scorned and didn’t consult, especially the British, are telling him: we’ll remember this, you're trying to push us around. And now that he needs us: Well, frankly, he can go f*ck himself."
This is the international community giving Trump the middle finger in real time. Allies like France, Germany, and the UK are refusing to send frigates or join the fight, leaving the U.S. isolated, overextended, and paying the full price for Trump's "energy dominance" fantasy.
The war has killed a growing number of troops, bombed schools, crippled refineries, shut the strait, and fomented a worldwide economic crisis, yet Trump still expects Europe to to the rescue and clean up his mess.
If a French general telling Trump "Va te faire foutre" over Hormuz feels like sweet justice, like and share to celebrate the slapdown. He started this war alone; now he can finish it alone!

BREAKING: Trump gets NIGHTMARE Epstein news as a bipartisan group of senators demand that the Government Accountability Office review the Justice Department's corrupt handling and release of the files.
And it gets so much better...
“Contrary to Congress’s explicit directive to protect victims, these records included email addresses and nude photos in which the names and faces of publicly-identified and non-public victims could be identified,” the senators wrote in a letter. “But when it came to information identifying powerful business and politics figures who are alleged co-conspirators or material witnesses, DOJ appears to have heavily redacted those records.”
Senators Jeff Merkley, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Ray Luján, and Dick Durbin are demanding an explanation of how the files were reviewed by Pam Bondi's Justice Department before release. This is a welcome development because there's a blatant coverup underway. Despite being legally required to release the files in full, the Trump administration has withheld many and instituted redactions without explanation.
And we know why. Trump is all over the files and in just what we've seen already he's accused of sexual abuse and rape. One shudders to think what allegations are waiting to be revealed in the files that the administration refuses to release.
The senators pointed out that refusal to release the remaining files violates the the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
This letter is the latest blow to the White House, coming as it does a week after the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bondi for their Epstein probe.
"There’s over 65,000 documents missing, and we know there are more than 2,000 videos that are out there. They’re not giving Congress all the information or all the documents, and they’re obfuscating. And I’d like to ask questions about that in our deposition,” Congresswoman Nancy Mace stated regarding the subpoena.
The Government Accountability Office should immediately launch this review. It's clear to the American people and the entire world that Trump and Bondi are trying to cover up for heinous crimes by the president, Cabinet members, and close powerful allies. Justice must be served!
Please ❤️ and share to demand a full review of the DOJ's process!

A suspended sentence for a vicious, unprovoked attack resulting in significant injuries! I know prisons are overcrowded but the sentence is blatantly inadequate, even if the offender happens to be an employer.
