Donald J. Trump is once again arguing he was robbed of a Nobel Peace Prize — this time even as he’s restarted military action against Iran. The 80-year-old made the case to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way back from a NATO summit in Turkey, the same trip from which he’d ordered a major round of strikes on Iran’s government and conceded that any ceasefire with Tehran was effectively dead.
“I mean, think of the wars I settled. Eight!” he said, regurgitating the same debunked and mentally exhausting lie. “Wars that were going on for 30… even if you look in the Congo, the Congo versus Rwanda, I settled it, after 14 years and about 15 million people had their heads chopped off. I settled that one. I settled eight wars.”
“I should have won that award more than anybody that ever received the Nobel Peace Prize, because nobody settled wars… I settled eight of them, because of a certain type of personality, I was able to settle them,” he added.
The gender confused President:
“Did you tell Machado not to go back to Venezuela the other week, and what’s your relationship?” a journalist asked. “You mean, did I tell him a long time ago?” Trump replied, even though Machado is a woman.
