There is an interesting irony that, to me, seems to be emerging on this world peace front (as it goes). From the disposition of Trump, he seems to be somewhat like a Jimmy Carter figure that wan'ts world peace. But "seems" to have a genuine interest in it. Along those lines, Trump seems to also be saavy regarding political, social, international, domestic, and socio-political interplay. His desire for peace does not seem to cloud his judgement while orchestrating concurrent inroads to those peace paths along organic developments along the way to play also toward that end. This is a fascinating chemestry to watch in real-time.
So the irony is, that with all the drama and issues many of us have toward one like Trump, we likely in differing ways can see the above on some levels in some fashion, for sure. YET Obama, just months into his first term gets a Nobel Peace Prize? lol. For what?
AI OVERVIEW
Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. The Nobel Committee cited his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" as the reason for the award, according to the Nobel Prize committee. The decision to award the prize to Obama just months after his inauguration as President of the United States was met with both praise and criticism. Some felt it was premature, while others viewed it as a recognition of his potential to promote peace.
THE IRONY: Obama was awarded a Peace Prize months into his presidency having really not done much at that time. The peace prize was awarded to him largely "in faith" and hope of what the image of Obama created might become thus. In contrast, we have Trump, brash, vulgar, campy, not smooth, not debonair, crude, vindictive, in your face, saying outrageous things, etc. Yet, while Obama was smooth, gathered, praised by media, the best image makers can produce, slick, stylish, eloquent...and got an award "in faith" of world peace. While in contrast, the Orange Man looks more like the "actual" real deal.
In contrast, it could almost be a South Park cartoon episode or three. And certainly something entertaining if the Bee did something on that. Two commercial entertainment outlets famous, well known, and in their individual rights respected for their level of creative craft. Proving that social artifacts are "a thing." And certainly have a place and value in our greater world economic and political and social infrastructure. Blessings.

Especially if Biden was merely an Obama Puppet. Allowing Russia to take hold of the middle east, and bring on wars like Ukraine (the coup in 2014 as well as the inevitable result during Biden) all along the while. If Obama is the defacto Dem lead operating system in the background...how peace prize worthy is/was that? lol.
