All that gold to blend in with all that other gold.
Okay, lets take a look through Trump's colored lens... how does he see himself? One clue...
PolitizoomBy Jason MiciakAugust 17, 2025The ever-unhappy Donald Trump is furious over the fact that the media, even Fox News, has been almost uniformly reporting that his Anchorage meeting with Vladimir Putin was an abject failure. None of this is surprising. Trump is never happy with any coverage that is in any way critical. What is somewhat surprising is that Trump believed the meeting to be worth the risk even if he came away with nothing, not even a ceasefire, never mind anything permanent. He should have been better prepared for the aftermath or, even better, have had things settled even prior to the meeting, leaving nothing to chance. Still, he is raging over what he sees as totally unfair coverage that fails to adequately set forth his achievement. Trump posted to Truth Social:“It’s incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me. There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me. I had a great meeting in Alaska on Biden’s stupid War, a war that should have never happened!!!”
You see Trump desperately wants to end the war... Why? Consider these past headlines,
Axios writes,
For years, Donald Trump has been obsessed with presidential power, revenge against his enemies — and winning the Nobel Peace Prize.Why it matters: Now Trump's administration is aggressively pushing him for a Nobel — the obsession that has eluded him. That was a subtext to Friday's Oval Office blowup with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.Zoom in: Talk of the prize is increasingly shaping how administration officials talk about the president at a time when he's seeking to end the fighting in Ukraine and Gaza.
You know, Trump the king of the deal!
You know. The guy who made all these business deals that resulted in bankruptcies!
You know. The guy with 34 felony convictions!
You know. The guy with the ego bigger than his head!
This is one of the drivers for Trump with the super-sized ego, Trump the narcissist. I think that is what Trump pinnacle, everything boils down to stratifying his ego and the foreign leaders and play him like Putin just did.

Sorry Charlie... ops Donald
Just to be fair, you need to fact check the info on the Peace Prize nomination. Info on the nobelprize.org website indicates that information like this would never come out of the committee. This probably came out of the story of the Ukranian Lawmaker who removed his nomination of Trump back in June due to a lack of progress in Russia-Ukraine peace talks.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct! I removed the Meme that said Trump was removed from the Peace Prize. The BBC says... The Nobel Peace Prize nomination process is strictly confidential; the identities of both nominators and nominees are sealed for 50 years. No official list of nominees is published.
