Trump Is a Pathetic Loser

By Leave a Comment

Dan Pfeiffer: “WTF? Trump is going to invade Greenland because he didn’t win the Nobel Prize? This is such huge loser energy.”

“Last week, Maria Corina Machado traveled to the White House to meet with Donald Trump and plead for the freedom of the Venezuelan people. Machado is a leader of the opposition in her country. After Trump captured Maduro, he installed Maduro’s second-in-command and has offered no plan for free and fair elections. He was particularly dismissive of Machado’s ability to lead her people. Some reporting suggested that Trump was pissed at Machado because she won the Nobel Peace Prize he had been so desperately thirsty for.”

“Machado knew this, so she brought her Nobel Prize to the meeting and presented it to Trump in an effort to win his support. And Trump accepted it.”

“He kept her Nobel Prize. And if that isn’t bad enough, the White House tweeted out this photo of Trump proudly accepting someone else’s medal.”

“How do these people not realize how pathetic this is?”
