There is a meme going around with the White House address telling people to mail him their trophies.

That is the kind of Civil Disobedience I can get behind. grin

👏👏👏

He can have the spelling certificate I was given when I was five, if he wants.

In the unlikely event of Trump having a "road to Damascus" moment & actually meriting & winning the prize next year, d'you think he would return Machado's? Or list it on Ebay?

There are so many Facebook memes about this now.
He has been awarded 'Best in Show' by Crufts.

If a dog was so aggressive, dangerous and out of the owners control, it would be put down to protect the public.

It should be made null and void.

He should be made null and void!

There are no words frankly, it doesn’t take anything away from other very well deserved recipients, if anything it reflects so badly on both Trumpy and Machado, even she feels she no longer deserves this honour then return it, it’s meaningless to Trump, it doesn’t give him a Peace Prize.

I’ve got some certificates of achievements he can have, doesn’t mean he’s achieved anything other than simply compounding his stupidity

He can have my 12 yards swimming certificate if he likes!

Brilliant! smile

Yes, my grandson has medals from his great great uncle in WW1.
He understands that he did not earn them, and is merely a custodian, because they were given to him - but he is twelve, so seems to be operating at a higher level of cognition than the POTUS.

It's partly because of the media they consume.

Why can’t the majority of Americans see how unhinged he’s becoming and that their country is a laughing stock. Well no one’s laughing but you know what I mean.

The whole thing is just,well, daft. Even he must realise that. Surely ?

The Nobel Prize has sadly become a farce.

no its not, you cant give it away.

Now she has nothing to bargain with. Think he gave her a Trump White House goodie bag.

she could offer him her kitten. He loves grabbing stuff that belongs to someone else... womens kittens , Greenland,...

I've got a Cycling Proficiency Certificate he can have, along with all our children's junior rugby trophies 😉

Remember that fairy story about the Emporer’s new clothes?

StoneofDestiny Sat 17-Jan-26 19:34:33

It's just embarrassing - as if you could transfer a Nobel Prize. Maybe he will ask to be given a Professorship next without studying, or a Pilots License without flying lessons or the ability to start WW3 without just cause .......oh wait........

He does not have the prize, only a bit of metal. You can buy medals on E-bay.

The man has dementia. His father died of it.
His handlers are well aware of it, and are just keeping him happy.

I’d rather the whole world did not have to be turned upside down just to keep Trump happy.
