It could be a Monty Python skit from forty years ago: A demented U.S. president demands the Nobel Peace Prize (which he initially spells “Noble”), after converting the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War and abducting the president of a Latin American country by force.
When he doesn’t get the Prize, he says he’s no longer in favor of peace and decides to invade Greenland. When Greenland refuses him and Denmark and the rest of Europe make a fuss, he goes into a rage, raises tariffs on Europe (which are really import taxes that cost Americans dearly) and threatens war on NATO. The president of Russia is delighted.
Can’t you see it? Eric Idle plays the American president — full of himself and utterly off his rocker. John Cleese is the hapless Latin American president who’s abducted. Terry Gilliam is the incredulous head of Greenland. Terry Jones plays the righteous leader of Denmark, and Michael Palin the whacky but triumphant president of Russia.
The Monty Python team was so funny because they came up with completely absurd situations, handled them with deadpan seriousness, and stretched them to the limits.
But this particular situation isn’t funny. It’s actually happening. And Trump is truly, tragically, frighteningly out of his mind.
I forgot whether Chapman was playing someone from Iceland or Greenland when he complained ‘It’s dark six months out of the year, and cold enough to freeze your WRISTS off!’
They’d live this, alright.. RESIST!
Second time the Nobel Prize was given away,

The first was by Knut Hamsun who gave away his 1920 Nobel Prize to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels in 1943.
Maria Machado gave her Nobel Prize away to the American liar and Nazi, Felon Donald Trump in 2026.You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
kNut is the first clue why he did such a dumb@$$ thing

Things looked grim for Europe, from Moscow to France. Things looked grim for the Pacific Rim and China, where Japan was winning the war. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
