I got a better idea, let’s take the Nobel Peace prize off President Obama and give it to Trump, he was given one in 2009, less than a year in office, what the hell did he do to deserve that?

Even a former Nobel peace chief regrets Obama been given one.

No, he doesn't - nothing in the article supports the headline; the word regret is not used in the article, just in the headline as a paraphrase.

He actually states
Quote:

Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Barack Obama in 2009 failed to achieve what the committee hoped it would
In fact, Lundestad states he never said it was a mistake.

Quote:

"Several of you have written that I believe the prize to Obama a mistake, but then you cannot have read the book," Lundestad told reporters, according to VG. "It says nowhere that it was a mistake to give Obama the Peace Prize."

Nothing in in the headline supports the view...Stop taking the piss Hugh. You are wrong yet again.

In other words, he was saying, Obama did not live up to the expectations of him getting the award, therefore, giving it to him was a mistake, thanks for confirming what I already said. :rolleyes:

Please show me in the linked article where Lundestad says he regrets Obama getting the Nobel prize - the article does not use the word "regret", only the headline.

Donald Trump's former doctor has said he did not write a 2015 letter declaring the then-Republican presidential candidate's "astonishingly excellent" health, US media report.

"[Trump] dictated that whole letter," Harold Bornstein told CNN on Tuesday.
Well who'd have 'thunk' a non-medical person could have dictated a letter describing a patient's condition as 'astonishingly excellent' and ' healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency' :D :D

The Doctor signed the letter and only now says it’s not his words. Another pathetic smear attempt. Plus....Reported on Fake News CNN. :zzz:

Meanwhile Trump achieving Peace in the Korean Peninsula. Fantastic achievement, but the liberal press want to discuss other things. Evil set of one sided pricks. They are really upset Crooked Hillary lost still.

He may well have form for that already

“Based on the fact that I work for Donald Trump as his secretary — and therefore know him well — I think he treats women with great respect, contrary to what Julie Baumgold implied in her article … I do not believe any man in America gets more calls from women wanting to see him, meet him, or go out with him. The most beautiful women, the most successful women — all women love Donald Trump.” —Carolin Gallego, December 7, 1992

Have they found her yet or can we assume that was Donald getting busy with the messy pen again

It was very wrong for the Nobel Peace prize to begiven to Obama in the first place. The prize should be given only for achievement, not the expectation of achievement.

I hope they've learned their lesson. This fiasco has completely devalued the award.

Exactly. If anything, Obama did the opposite, just look at Libya. The removal of Gaddafi, caused a massive vacuum in which ISIS was able to enter.

And you don't have a problem with the letter certifying the medical condition of the President being written by the person being assessed? :(

Ahh the old fake news statement that always appears when Trump or his followers don't like the facts.

The wording in the letter certainly sounds like it was not written by a medical expert.

His doctor signed it, so regardless who wrote it, his doctor signing it means he was giving his consent to what was written, I would say that it was the doctor at fault here for approving it in the first place and not placing his objections, that's if the story is even remotely true. I don't give a crap either way.

I doubt this latest revelation announced in the safe confines of Fox News will impact Trump much. And I'm sure he will be able to hide behind legal semantics. But only last month, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he was not aware of the payment made to Ms Clifford
Quote:

Rudy Giuliani: Trump paid back hush money given to porn star Stormy Daniels
Donald Trump reimbursed his personal lawyer for a $130,000 payment used to keep porn star Stormy Daniels quiet before the 2016 election, the President’s new attorney Rudy Giuliani has said.
Mr Trump had previously maintained that he was not aware of the hush money Daniels had received from lawyer Michael Cohen to buy her silence over their alleged affair...
Former New York mayor Giuliani told Fox News' Hannity programme that Mr Trump's payment to Mr Cohen "is going to turn out to be perfectly legal" because "that money was not campaign money".
https://news.sky.com/story/rudy-giul...niels-11356513

Quote:

In response to Mr Giuliani’s claim, Ms Clifford’s lawyer Michael Avenatti said he was “stunned”, according to CNN.“Every American, regardless of their politics, should be outraged by what we have now learned. Mr Trump stood on AF1 and blatantly lied,” he tweeted. “We will not rest until justice is served.”

Even Fox News isn’t happy with Trump’s new lawyer.

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/38...stormy-daniels
Quote:

Fox News host Laura Ingraham said President Trump’s new lawyer Rudy Giuliani contradicted Trump’s claims that he didn’t know about his personal attorney Michael Cohen's payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, calling the conflicting statements “a problem.”
And Trump’s lawyer also, in the same interview, confirmed why Trump fired Comey.

http://thehill.com/homenews/administ...trump-he-wasnt
Quote:

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said Wednesday that President Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey because Comey wouldn’t tell Trump that he wasn’t a target of the FBI investigation into Russia's election interference.

“He fired Comey because Comey would not, among other things, say that he wasn’t a target of the investigation,” Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s legal team, told Fox News’s Sean Hannity.
