Obama did not deserve that one. Henry fucking Kissinger got one. The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke at best, and a bastardization of the idea mixed with horrific propaganda at worst.

    If I remember correctly Obama got it like a couple of weeks into his presidency before having done anything. While continuing a war. So yeah it’s meaningless.

    To give a peace price to any president is laughable

    He essentially got it for not being Bush.

    Not saying Donnie deserves it but we need to stop pretending that Obama getting the prize is some sort of achievement.

    Honestly wouldn't surprise me if the next elected Democrat president got it either.
