At least five world leaders are supporting President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after his mediation efforts in several conflicts.

    Sounds like an easy way to make their entire program irrelevant forever.

      Pretty sure giving it to Kissinger did that long ago.

          Yeah, being an adult is recognizing that Obama was a great President, but he did not deserve that Peace Prize.

            He was a standard neoliberal whose greatest virtue was nearly qualifying for Just Liberal

              Genuinely surprised seeing the Obama love here.

              I guess the past decade has really made people forget the actually bad things he did.

                He succeeded in what he set out to do: give a nice face to American imperialism.

                And I admit, Obama had charisma and was a proper statesman, in stark contrast to what came before and after. But most policies, with single exceptions like Medicaid, were standard neoliberal bullshit. And he didn’t stop the machine from going to where it is now, which is his biggest failure in my opinion.
