Trump nominated for a Peace prize. Nobel must be spinning in his grave (well given many of the previous recipients, Trump is in familiar company)

Quote
“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde, a four-term member of Parliament who also serves as chairman of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, told Fox News in an exclusive interview.

I think Trump should be concerned with his own nation and restoring peace to it.

He wants to.  He would love nothing less than to crush all protests under military boots.

I mean a peace deal between uae and & israel is quite the big deal, isn't it?
Also in my opinion he deserves a peace price for not starting a war so far. That's better than basically every usa president before him.

Not nearly as big a deal as a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians would be.

That isn't fat.  Trump has so much guts that it just makes him look fat.

I don't think it's been mentioned here yet, so just to offer it up to whoever wants to jump in. What's your take on the Bob Woodward tapes? I'm sure a lot of the opinions, as they usually do, will fall along party lines, but it sure sounds like Trump said very different things to the public than what he said on the record while he knew he was being taped by a journalist that has a pretty distinguished pedigree. And as far as not wanting to cause a panic, he has certainly abandoned that philosophy with his conduct in other parts of his campaign strategy.

It would be one thing if Trump downplayed it in his speeches, but his administration actually took steps to address the pandemic.  But it appears Trump knew the dangers, publicly downplayed it so his base would not believe it actually exists, and then did nothing to address the pandemic.  If you don't like Trump, this makes him a dangerous person who should be prevented from ever holding any sort of public office again.  If you like Trump, he did a commendable thing because look at what happened with grocery supplies without our President causing a panic, he saved us from chaos and destruction.

This will ultimately change very few minds.

The reaction has been a little surprising to me. The revelation is that Trump lies constantly? Did anyone not already know this?

The outrage at Woodward is also surprising. What do they think would happen if he released the tapes immediately? Did they think they would impeach trump?

The only new thing I think I learned is that Trump doesn't believe his own lies. At least not all of them.

So we now have more evidence of Trump bungling the response to the virus, hundreds of thousands dead, the economy is in ruin. On the other hand though, let's not forget that Nancy Pelosi got a haircut without wearing a mask. So I think the blame is 50 50 here.

The outrage at Woodward I think is kind of strange too. I mean, he's not the president, he's a journalist. The job of the president comes with a higher responsibility in terms of keeping the American public safe, so passing the blame over to Woodward seems like deflection at best.

The really interesting thing is that now there isn't a "he said, she said" kind of a way to juggle what he told the public and the policies he promoted versus what he told Woodward when no one else was looking. It's all laid out bare. And for anyone still parroting his talking points about it being a hoax or about it not being that bad, the only reason those talking points exist are because he put them out there, and obviously he knew it wasn't true, so how will people try and resolve the cognitive dissonance that comes along with hearing what he said on those tapes after spending the last several months believing the BS he was selling them? That's what I'm curious to see.

Everyone with a brain knew this was a deadly virus that was spreadable through the air before these tapes existed. Trump gad no revelation or inside info the rest of us didn't have access to.

What is despicable is that he essentially lied to the public about this for political gain. He was stoking conspiracy theories it was a hoax, a democrat ploy to impeach him, made the idea of wearing a mask a badge of support for democrats etc

The excuse 'I didn't want to cause panic' doesn't fly and only reflects poor or absent leadership.

A real leader could not only be truthful, but avoid people being panicked in the face of a real thrrat

I don't think anyone is surprised though. This is Trump we are talking about. His base are as taken in as those who followed Jim Jones.

I honestly don't know.  Theoretically they're supposed to reject illegal orders.  Practically speaking the military doesn't select for people that spend a lot of time pondering philosophy, civics and ethics.  It's a culture that doesn't involve a lot of introspection and glorifies obedience.
