People joked on Twitter after Trump was nominated (twice) for a Nobel Peace Prize that the award would now have to be cancelled. But they were only half-joking then, and now it’s an actual reality.
It shouldn’t be a surprise, they cancelled Susan B. Anthony after Trump pardoned and praised her, so in a way it was probably inevitable. But in another way it’s just INCREDIBLE how deranged they have become.
It started with bitter burns on Nobels at first.
Nobel Peace Prize is a sham like Oscars and Miss Universe.

I hate to be the one pointing this out, but Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin were also nominated for the Nobel Peace prize.

Tbh, it’s what I expect from them. He is joining the ranks of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini who were all nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize too.

And there was media silencing/sabotage.
Associated Press wastes little time trying to delegitimize Donald Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination https://t.co/neEnKv83Mq

I can’t find the Nobel Prize nomination news on CNN’s home page.
So why isn’t @politico calling out news organizations who downplay actual news for political purposes? https://t.co/JXKxTbo5M6

But it all moved on to full blown woke rage.
"The record of achievement of the peace laureates is so spotty, and the rationales for their awards so eclectic, that the committee should take a long break to consider whether peace is a category coherent enough to be worth recognizing," @gcaw writes: https://t.co/kMGZGzTaki

They are real geniuses.
