Donald Trump broke off from licking his wounds after losing out on this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for a lengthy digression about how one of his pro-golfer buddies has apparently has made the world a better place.
“Speaking of somebody that saves lives, don’t ever play golf with him because Keegan Bradley just walked in,” the president told reporters at White House press conference on Friday, after spying the Team USA Ryder Cup captain at the door.
“What a great job. He’s respected by those golfers like nobody, and I just want to compliment you, Keegan, was an incredible job right there,” Trump went on, apparently in reference to Keegan’s performance at this year’s tournament, held toward the end of last month, at which the U.S. lost out to Team Europe 15-13.
“So the person who actually got the Nobel prize called today, called me and said, ‘I’m accepting this in honor of you because you really deserved it,” the president said. “A very nice thing to do. I didn’t say, ‘Then give it to me,’ though. I could have. I think she might have.”
“She was very nice. And I’ve been, you know, I’ve been helping her along the way. They need a lot of help in Venezuela, it’s a basic disaster,” he went on. “I’m happy because I saved millions of lives, many millions of lives.”
Trump: “So the person who actually got the Nobel prize called today, called me and said, ‘I’m accepting this in honor of you because you really deserved it. A very nice thing to do.

They need a lot of help in Venezuela, it’s a basic disaster. I’m happy because I saved millions of lives, many millions of lives.”Notice that Trump doesn't mention "the person" by name. Notice that he doesn't acknowledge her achievements. Notice that he doesn't congratulate her. Notice that Trump is the only person reporting that conversation...And finally, please notice that, as usual, Donald John Trump seeks praise for something he never did - "I saved millions, many mllions of lives".
Well, he bombed a country, he blew up a few boats, he's deploying troops in cities in his own country over a "surge in crime" that doesn't even exist and that he just made up, So, yeah, he's done a lot for, uh, peace?
He accepted a Purple Heart given to him by a veteran, although he has never sacrificed ANYTHING for this country. He took a soccer championship trophy from an awards ceremony, although he had nothing to do with soccer, and now he says he would have accepted the Nobel if the rightful winner offered it to him. What a worm.
