Quid pro whaddyacallit
Trump throwing more toys out of the playpen:
The U.S. ambassador to Poland is lashing out at the country’s parliament speaker for the offense of not supporting President Trump’s Nobel Prize aspirations.
Ambassador Tom Rose raged at Parliament Speaker Wlodzimierz Czarzasty in an X rant on Wednesday. In the post, Rose threatened that the US would “have no further dealings, contacts, or communications” with Czarzasty, due to his “insults directed against President Trump.”
What did he say?
Czarzasty made the alleged “outrageous and unprovoked insults” toward Trump on Monday while speaking to journalists.
The 65-year-old chairman of Poland’s New Left party said he would not support U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Israeli Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana’s campaign to rally heads of the European parliaments to nominate Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
Ah. So that’s it. He doesn’t think Trump should be nominated for a Nobel peesprize. Well neither does anyone else with a functioning brain cell. We also don’t think Trump should be stamping around the landscape demanding a Nobel Peace Prize. You don’t get to demand them, and it’s ridiculous and shaming to try. You’re supposed to be surprised when you get a Nobel, not content that your orders were obeyed. You can’t order one as if it were Big Mac.
Trump, 79, has been miffed since he didn’t win the 2025 Nobel Prize, which went to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. He has used the snub as a cudgel against America’s Scandinavian allies—none of which have anything to do with the Nobel Peace Prize.
You don’t get to be miffed, either. You can be privately miffed, I suppose, if you’re that determined to be an asshole, but it ends as soon as you leave your Pouting Room. You don’t go public with your delusions of value.
…he tossed out his peace-loving posture in January when he wrote to Norway, “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”
“If you won’t givittame I’ll just bomb everything. I don’t give a shit about Peace, I just want my Prize.”
