Donald Trump’s desperate and yearslong desire for a Nobel prize is well documented. In fact, after his defeat in 2020, the Republican president released a weird, campaign-style video that suggested he’d already received a Nobel prize.....

And then, of course, there’s the White House. The Hill reported:

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Thursday that President Trump deserves a Nobel Prize for his commitment to ‘restructuring’ global trade rates. ‘I’m thinking that since he’s basically taught the world trade economics, he might be up for the Nobel on economics...,’ Navarro said during an appearance on Fox Business Network.

He didn’t appear to be kidding.

.....Roughly six hours later, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, reading from prepared notes, told reporters that Trump “has brokered on average about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office.” She added, “It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”

She seemed to overlook Trump’s vow to end the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza — a promise he apparently doesn't know how to keep.

Nevertheless, to recap, the White House called for the president to receive one Nobel prize in the morning and a different Nobel prize in the afternoon.......

Or maybe everyone involved can just cut to the chase and simply rename Nobel prizes and agree to call them “Trump Prizes”? Given recent events, it seems inevitable that some GOP lawmaker will introduce a resolution along those lines sometime soon.
