Taking time out from ordering the National Guard and ICE thugs into U.S. cities, threatening Colombia and Venezuela, and carrying out trade wars with friends and foes alike, the megalomaniac Malignant Fascist gets the booby prize named for the second most corrupt President in our history:
He might have missed out on the Nobel Peace Prize, but Donald Trump has been given a consolation gong for his efforts.
Two weeks after being snubbed on the world stage despite months of intense lobbying, the president received the Architect of Peace Award from the Richard Nixon Foundation on Tuesday during a private ceremony at the White House.
The award, named after the controversial Republican at the center of the Watergate scandal, was established in 1995 for people who embody Nixon’s “lifelong goal of shaping a more peaceful world.”
Trump has no doubt he’s a worthy recipient, claiming that he has “ended 8 wars in just 8 months” and describing himself “the president of peace.”
His latest addition to the list is the two-year conflict between Israel and Hamas—although the ceasefire now looks to be on shaky ground.
The other seven he claims to have resolved were between Israel and Iran, Pakistan and India, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.
Talking up his efforts on Tuesday, Trump said he was a better president than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
“(Someone said) ‘you are the third-best president in the United States’ ... this was on television,” he told Senators as during a lavish lunch in the newly renovated White House Rose Garden.
“So I said who are the first two? ‘George Washington and Abraham Lincoln’. I got very upset with this man... They didn’t put out eight wars. We put out eight wars.”
The Architect of Peace Award was presented to Trump in an Oval Office ceremony that included Richard Nixon’s daughter Tricia Nixon Cox and Trump’s former national security adviser Robert O’Brien... (our emphasis)
Hoo-boy. Someone give sundowning President Cankles a big cookie. As someone put it, he's not the third best President; he's not even the third worst.
BONUS: Here's a closer look at the booby prize --

🤬 OMG, Trish! In spite of all the flaws of your Tricky Dad, he was intelligent and often acted as a serious politician. I think your Dad would be appalled at you for giving this orange buffoon anything in his name! SHAME!! 🤨
