Man, Cohen nailed it. Trump’s not chasing peace, he’s chasing applause. He doesn’t see Ukraine or Russia, he sees a stage prop. The Nobel Peace Prize isn’t a symbol to him…it’s just a f****** gold sticker he can slap on his chest to say he “beat Obama.”

And that’s the danger. A real peacemaker bleeds for compromise. Trump? He treats war like it’s a campaign rally backdrop. Chaos isn’t an obstacle, it’s leverage. He doesn’t want peace, he wants a selfie with peace and he’ll burn the world down to get it.

That’s why what Ben and MTN are building here matters. This isn’t about awards or applause, it’s about guardrails. And if you want to see how some of us are tracing the receipts, connecting dots brick by brick, I’m doing that work as well every day at www.xplisset.com.

I have never seen a President with so much hate and envy of other Presidents Obama and Biden he has moved their picture far from his view, he wants them erased. We will never let this happen. As for the Nobel Peace Prize, he has not earned the respect. He has literally destroyed our country.

Your reply is 43 words too long, but your points are well taken! 🙂

Yup! Because as his psychologist niece Mary Trump says, for Trump it will never be enough. His need for praise and attention is never ending, it is never enough.

He’s a black hole sucking everything that gets close to him inside and creating a dense mass of ignorance and disdain for those he deems different and thus, inferior.

Ria venn's avatar

Ellen that’s a Brilliant analogy. Great in fact👏👏👏👏👏👏🏆

Tad Huckabee's avatar

Sadly the performance will not get any applause. Maybe his show will get cancelled.

Ria venn's avatar

That’s what the people are working together towards👏

I have to keep asking, how did this happen? How are we here so quickly in this moment where the world is ready to fall. Are there so many MAGA voters that we were overrun.

Xplisset's avatar

Carie, here’s the hard truth: for a lot of marginalized folks, fascism isn’t “suddenly here.” It’s been the air we breathe — voter suppression, police violence, immigration raids, Jim Crow dressed up in new clothes. Business as usual. The only difference now is that what lived on the margins kicked down the front door and sat its ass in the White House.

That’s why so many of us get weary when people say “how did this happen?” We’ve been shouting the alarm for decades. Nobody listened until the fire spread to the suburbs. So yeah, that’s how this shit happened. And if there’s any silver lining, it’s that now maybe the guardrails aren’t just us anymore and it’s all of us, together, if we stay loud.

Sue Kusch's avatar

Absolutely! I have been talking about this for decades. What we are witnessing is a highly strategic movement of white patriarchy "taking back" what they believe belongs to them. It's nothing new; it was written into the Constitution, allowing only the elite to vote. MAGA people have been listening to right wing media since the 1990s, telling them they are victims of everyone who is not a white male.

Xplisset's avatar

Bingo. Kudus for taking me back to the 90’s when the.Rush Limbaugh had the McFaden & Whitehead song Ain’t No Stopping Us Now as the opener and then the Clintonistas countdown oh man those were the good ole days. Seems like there really is no stopping them now huh….but us of course.

🎯🎯🎯🎯 Right on target!

olderwoman's avatar

Dunno, but look at Hitler, same playbook.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I think Hitler had a few more brains than the orange tool has. He’s stupid and useless. He would make a really good target practice object.

Robin's avatar

Putin hits the bullseye on DT. Cakewalk for the KGB

Skitealwedrop's avatar

So true. Putin has the con man wrapped around his finger.

Ria venn's avatar

No. This has been building for decades actually, & t is just the one the Heritage Foundation found who they use as a figurehead, who totally does their bidding thinking he can get his revenge.

May I suggest you avail yourself of the Project 2025 document & read the tome. Within, you’ll see what’s already started, what the Foundation & its people want to instal in America.

Secondly, on Netflix watch ‘The Family’…how religion through evangelical Christian’s was/& is used in the houses of Governments, starting with America, decades ago to infiltrate their leadership. You will be astonished how it is done!

This is all part of the same dystopian authority that has insidiously crept into your country.

Everybody should source this information‼️

Dee Joy's avatar

Also I'll add watch the doco Bad Faith as well. Details how Christian nationalism has become a formidable partner to heritage foundation. How they've made trump their figure head. It's all been happening in the background for 40yrs. Now they've joined forces for financial gain and the power to rule.

Ria venn's avatar

Thankyou Dee. Will definitely watch👍

Carie's avatar

I've read parts of the 2025 and know what you're saying. I have not watched "The Family," which I will do. They chose a good "figurehead" in Donald Trump.

Snoozer's avatar

All victims of Doublespeak.

Sunny Bradshaw's avatar

No. But there was cheating by the MAGA/GOP that were in charge of elections, esp in swing States!

8.1 million provable votes that Election groups gave reported on. There are witnesses to it & impossible anomalies with some vote counting machines. But, like many other things these days, MSM NEWSMEDIA refuses to report on it, for the most part. MSNBC has a couple people that will report on such things whenever able, but that's about it.

Dee Joy's avatar

That's what they want you to believe.

77 million voters - not true they cheated.

They changed Kamala votes into trump votes, so that number is highly inflated.

People are intimidated by that huge number but again it's not true. Election Truth Alliance has all the data. Everything they say is a lie just like every accusation is a confession.

He's losing supporters everyday. This is why he's building his own ICE Gestapo who don't take an oath to protect and serve. We're just sitting back watching them build an army against us. Instead of general strikes, 24hr protests, mass boycotts.

For someone who cares about peace, peace is reward enough. For someone who cares about rewards, peace will never satisfy.

Edward mead's avatar

Trump loves hate ,jealous, and only Trump what Praise and worship for Donald J. Trump only. And being on TV. Telling more lies .

JA's avatar

Trump has yet to beat Obama at anything!

Xplisset's avatar

Except for… losing lawsuits, bankrupting casinos, and setting the world record for most damn indictments in a single lifetime! 🤦🏾‍♂️ Obama’s out here chillin’ with a Nobel Prize and a Spotify deal, and Trump can’t even beat a Sharpie pen on a hurricane map. Man’s only undefeated at two things: lying through his teeth and turning golden toilets into political platforms. Everything else? He’s 0-for-f***ing-eva.

Tad Huckabee's avatar

He is the world's biggest,,,,,Laaaahoooooooozer!

Su Boddie's avatar

JA, there are a lot of superlatives and #1s in Agent Orange's favor. All of them negative.

Mary Jo Wilkins's avatar

He is chasing gold… like claiming the that the World Cup trophy was given to him…

Dee Joy's avatar

Like claiming he's the best golfer in the world and wins every tournament.

Tad Huckabee's avatar

He is an amazingly shallow pathetic excuse for a human being . Zero class, zero dignity zero redeemable human quality. Basically an orange walking talking compost pile.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Trump thinks he can snag the prize for a "deal." He doesn't get that the Novel committee with look at how he's made wreckage of one of the world's largest democracies and openly invites corruption at a level never seen before in a U.S. presidency and they will go "No momentary peace agreement, which could easily be broken, is worth awarding the prize to the man who did that, under any circumstances."

Ria venn's avatar

Let alone the cruelty he inflicts on people daily with his Sharpie edicts❗️

Dee Joy's avatar

I hope so.

But so many giant, reputable organisations have capitulated.

We will find out if the Nobel peace prize committee is an honorable organisation or if they can be bought.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

So many giant AMERICAN organizations have capitulated. The Nobel prize is neither an American organization nor as far as I know funded by the U.S. in any way. I also don't know of any non-far right organization that has squandered its credibility permanently by giving trump a respected award he hasn't earned. Sadly, the Kennedy Center was taken over by him so that's different. That award is meaningless now. But he has no authority to take over a foreign-based award.

Linda Heath's avatar

Xplisset,I look forward to your post daily. Good to hear from you. As always, spot on.

Dill Dough's avatar

If Obama winning the award gets his Huggies in a twist, and giving him a second would set him off in a rage, I say screw that. Let's go full massive aneurysm. Give it to Biden.

Dik de Bruijn's avatar

I detest Biden for sacrificing Americans and democracy in a quest to stroke his ego. However, I love the idea of giving the Peace Prize to him -- would definitely NOT make Trumpty Dumpty's day.

Tad Huckabee's avatar

Or maybe the creators of South Park!

Dee Joy's avatar

Obama could win the award twice!

Or give it to Biden or any other honorable person that he detests.

Ivan Quentin's avatar

Give it to MTN, the Meiseles brothers

JUDI MASTROIANNI's avatar

His JEALOUSY of PRESIDENT Obama is killing him!!!

Quick........Send over 3 buckets of KFC......the heart attack could save the world

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Unfortunately, I doubt we’ll get rid of the orange pedo that easily.

WJB Motown's avatar

Think positive thoughts.......the day he fills his last Depends will be a worldwide party.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Hell yeah 🍾🍾🍾🕺🕺🕺

Edward mead's avatar

And 14 McDonalds, Big Macs, is what Trump loves more and with 10 orders of Fries and ALWAYS a diet Coke.

WJB Motown's avatar

That Orange fat-ass pile of cockroach shit could slam a case of diet coke no problem!!!

Edward mead's avatar

Good maybe Trump will die soon. I bet he dreams about a Great President as President Obama.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Never, he’s an incompetent moron.

CeeJay's avatar

TRUMP DOES NOT DESERVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. HE SAID HE STOP 6 WARS AND WOULD END RUSSA UKRAINE WAR IN 24 HOURS. HE IS CALLING UP COUNTRIES TO BRIBE BY REDUCING FAKE TARIFFS IF THEY NOMINATE HIM FOR THE PEACE PRIZE. OH HELL NO! If anyone deserves the Nobel Peace Prize it's President Zelensky!

Marc R Hapke's avatar

I think it should go to UN special rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese

Teri Gelini's avatar

They just took his name off the list because of him bringing a war criminal onto US soil and praising him!

David M. Carew's avatar

THE ONLY AWARD that DONNIE DIM-WIT deserves is the Nobel Fleece Prize.

JA's avatar

Years ago, Trump could not spell NOBEL correctly!

Trump version was - Noble! Remember?

Maybe a difference prize??

Tad Huckabee's avatar

And his image chiseled into mount Flushmore!

I can just hear the conversation with the Jens Stoltenberg..

I am still for sending him cans of peas with gold labels that say "Here's your Peas Prize loser"

Donna Vest's avatar

We should get a campaign going to send that shit. Flood the WH with cans of "peas prize". That would be a hoot! 🤣🤣

Margareta Dahlin's avatar

Hahaha! ;-D !

And all the Pea cans painted with false gold!

A gigantic heap on the lawn between his flag poles!

NUNYABIZ's avatar

Went to my local 5050 protest yesterday. About 75 showed up on a sweltering August day in Florida. While I feel we're getting numb or complacent to some degree here locally we saw a couple magots drive by and yell out TRUMP 28. Amazing! I never realized there really are people against the Constitution and for what it stands for. Trump included.

olderwoman's avatar

THANK YOU FOR PROTESTING!

Edith Brideau's avatar

I hear you. I was with a group of about 100 in Pueblo, Colorado yesterday (they meet in the same spot every Saturday around noon. My sign said TRUMP SUCKS PUTIN DICK, which is a little crude but definitely accurate. Motorists mainly honked and gave thumbs up. A few young men in a sedan yelled "MAGA, MAGA, MAGA," as they went by, but they looked and sounded idiotic. Still, there they were, and there are too many of them in our country.

Tad Huckabee's avatar

How did those morons pass the driver's test?

Sue Lunsford's avatar

What he deserves is the “crimes against humanity” label, not the Nobel Peace Prize!

Teri Gelini's avatar

He was taken off the list by the committee because he brought a war criminal onto US soil

The only prize the orange dictator and convicted sexual predator deserves is LIAR OF THE DECADE 🏆

He will NEVER erase Obama's legacy

Mike Hammer's avatar

Just give him the Darwin Award, he won’t know the difference.

Sharon Damon's avatar

The truth. Trump is a destroyer, not a peace-builder or even a pacifist. He is the antithesis of all the people who have EARNED nominations and the peace prize itself. He reminds me of a greedy little child, baring their teeth and hissing "mine, mine,mine." He is just a legend in his own mind.

Teri Gelini's avatar

He’s off the list by the committee due to bring a war criminal onto US soil.

A Tale of Two Cities: A Story of the French Revolution (1859) by Charles Dickens https://www.gutenberg.org/files/98/98-h/98-h.htm

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

Yashira Ramirez's avatar

He’ll destroy the world just to distract from Epstein and try and manipulate Norway for a Nobel peace prize. Counterintuitive IMHO. 😞

Jo Burns's avatar

I refuse to put president in front of trump's name. He has broken the oath he swore when he took office since day one, but most notably when he met with ICC war criminal in Alaska on US soil. He should no longer be called president and e everything needs to be done to get him out of the oval.

Hilary M's avatar

I can’t even bring myself to say his last name. I can only use its original spelling: Drumpf. Because he’s a Drumpfty Dumpty 🤡💩

Jo Burns's avatar

Cankles works for me.

Dee Joy's avatar

I'm with you Jo.

I get offended when people refer to that evil monster as president, especially since he's illegal and stole the presidency. How he hasn't been arrested and thrown in prison is beyond me.

They really did get rid of everyone to hold him accountable?

Is the military afraid of civil war bc of 77 million voters?

Is everyone intimidated by his immunity?

How can he commit hundreds of crimes daily and still be infesting the WH?
