Trump Texts Norwegian Prime Minister To Clarify He Does Not Want Nobel Prize, Fourth Time This Week
“Just so we’re clear,” reads text sent at 2:47 AM

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump reached out to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre early Tuesday morning to reiterate, for the fourth time this week, that he has absolutely no interest in receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, a prize he does not want, has never wanted, and cannot stop talking about.

“I can’t think of anybody in history that should get the Nobel Prize more than me,” the President said Monday, adding immediately that he did not want to brag. He then bragged.
“Nobody else settled wars,” he continued, which is technically a sentence.

The prize in question was awarded in 2009 to Barack Obama, a man who speaks in complete sentences, reads at a pace exceeding one word at a time, and has never suggested injecting bleach, light, or veterinary medicine into the human body. Obama assembled an administration of people who had read books, could locate countries on a map, and understood in broad terms how the world functions. He did not brag. He used long words correctly. He could spell them.
Oslo gave him the prize essentially for existing in a composed and literate manner, which, in fairness, the committee found refreshing.

World leaders this week declined to comment on the Nobel situation, as they were busy processing other things. French President Emmanuel Macron, asked about Trump’s remarks at a press conference in Paris, paused for what witnesses described as “quite a long time” before responding. “If I stood at a podium and said I deserved the Nobel Prize more than anyone in history, they would not applaud,” Macron said carefully. “They would make a phone call. To doctors. With a particular kind of vehicle.”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was more direct. “In Germany we have a word for a man who believes he alone has saved the world and requires this to be acknowledged daily,” he told reporters in Berlin, “but we have agreed as a nation not to use it anymore.”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, maintaining the expression of a man who has given up being surprised, noted only that the United Kingdom has “a robust tradition of understatement” and that he found the current American communication style “quite different from that.”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said nothing but was photographed staring at a wall for eleven minutes.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida issued a formal statement expressing confidence in the strength of the alliance, which diplomats confirmed was the politest possible way of saying nothing at all.

What struck observers across capitals was not the Nobel Prize itself, but the American public’s apparent comfort with the situation. Polls show 47 percent of U.S. voters find the President’s behavior completely normal, a figure European officials have taken to reading aloud to each other at dinners for the sustained entertainment value.

Trump has been president twice. He has settled wars. He does not drink. What he has done with disinfectants and UV light is a matter of public record and active medical curiosity.
Does he want the prize?
No.

“I don’t want to be bragging,” he said, at a press conference, in front of cameras, into a microphone.
He then bragged.
Støre’s office confirmed receipt of the texts but declined to comment, noting only that the Prime Minister had read them.

At press time, the President had settled a ninth war, which he described as “not for the prize or anything.”

Dear X

I need your help.

As you may know, I was doxed by Fred Wallace who posted my name, picture and partial home address here on X.

I made a complaint to the @metpoliceuk and today I was called back by one of their officers.

Name: Pc/Officer Humphreys.

Badge No. 2417.

Based at Lewisham Police Station. @MPSLewisham

Officer Humphreys asked what had given rise to the doxing and I told him that I hold the position that men cannot become women.

He immediately, without taking a breath said "well, that's transphobic".

Officer Humphries then proceeded to harangue me about my 'transphobia' and 'homophobia'.

I told him that I was not confident in the way he responded and that I would be reporting him to his superiors.

He said "well you won't get anywhere".

I then tried to explain to him that being 'transphobic' is not a crime and that gender critical beliefs are protected under the Forstater Ruling.

I also told him about the Supreme Court ruling that sex, in law, means biology and not identity.

At this point in the conversation, PC Humphreys put the phone down on me.

PC Humphreys seemed to have no understanding of his responsibility to act as an impartial public servant.

He also seemed unconcerned that I felt threatened and that I and my family could be put at risk by the doxing.

His only interest was in berating me for my beliefs.

I have made an in-person complaint at Lewisham Police Station and I will be making an appointment to discuss this incident with my MP @JanetDaby

We are being failed by a captured police force.

Day 8 Peggie v NHS Fife - Afternoon Session

Upton’s final testimony implodes as his contradictions, missing documents, and coercive tactics are laid bare.

The afternoon session saw Dr Upton’s testimony crumble further, with Naomi Cunningham exposing glaring contradictions, missing documents, and his attempts to control how objections to his presence in female spaces were framed. His defence collapsed under scrutiny, revealing a sustained effort to manipulate institutional policies to suit his identity at the expense of his female colleagues.

Cunningham pressed Upton on why he never volunteered his phone notes, despite them being central to his allegations. His excuse—that he assumed they would be discussed in interviews—was swiftly dismantled when it emerged that these notes were missing from key disciplinary documents. When asked why his logs seemed to record “every incident” yet were not produced in full, Upton floundered, exposing deliberate omissions.

The Datix report on the Christmas Eve incident was another weak spot. While Upton claimed he and KS had filed it accurately, Cunningham highlighted that the summary was incomplete, raising the likelihood that key details were omitted. Metadata analysis further blew apart his timeline, revealing that his formal complaint was edited on 3 January, finalised on 23 January, but only sent to the Board in June—contradicting his earlier claims that NHS Fife had been aware of his allegations for months.

Perhaps the most damning moment came when Cunningham tore into Upton’s control over language, showing how he forced others to affirm his identity while silencing their right to object. When asked why Peggie couldn’t simply say the changing room was for women, he insisted she must use “trans woman”, making any objection appear bigoted. Cunningham pointed out the clear power imbalance—Upton demanded absolute respect for his identity while dismissing Peggie’s right to assert her own boundaries.

His attempt to frame himself as the victim fell apart as Cunningham exposed how he escalated complaints far beyond what was necessary for a simple shift adjustment. Emails showed he actively lobbied NHS Fife and the BMA, raising concerns about his own safety while refusing to acknowledge the distress he inflicted on Peggie. Despite his insistence that he only wanted "justice," it was clear he had worked to remove Peggie from his professional environment.

Jane Russell’s re-examination was a damage control exercise that failed to undo the wreckage. She revisited the changing room confrontation, having Upton restate that Peggie had confronted him—not the other way around. But his own contradictions had already eroded his credibility. She attempted to minimise the missing documents, framing their late disclosure as an oversight rather than a deliberate omission, but when pressed, Upton was forced to admit the Board hadn’t received key documents until months later.

Russell tried to shift focus to Upton’s emotional distress, inviting him to reflect on the “misgendering” and “harassment” he claimed to have endured in the tribunal. Upton took the bait, calling the experience “horrendous” and painting himself as the true victim, but his own words and actions had already betrayed his real motivations—controlling language, reshaping policies, and punishing a female colleague for not complying.

The tribunal panel’s questions only reinforced his inconsistencies, probing his handling of complaints, missing evidence, and relationship with NHS Fife management. When asked about his 26 December email, which Cunningham had framed as an attempt to get Peggie removed, Upton insisted he feared a hostile work environment, yet his actions told a different story—one of sustained escalation rather than resolution.

By the end of his testimony, Upton’s credibility was beyond repair. His case had been exposed as not one of workplace discrimination, but of institutional coercion, where women’s boundaries had to give way to his self-perception. As the tribunal prepared to hear from Esther Davidson, the fundamental question was no longer whether Peggie mistreated Upton, but whether Upton had orchestrated a targeted campaign to punish a woman for asserting her right to female-only spaces.
