Donald Trump desperately wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, and believes he deserves it more than anyone on Earth.
This morning, the prize went to Navi Pillay — a former ICC judge honored for defending international law.
HOURS LATER, Trump sanctioned the ICC.
His administration says the timing is a coincidence.
Do you believe that? 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing says “Peace Prize” quite like trying to cripple an international court hours after one of its former judges wins the prize you wanted.
This isn’t strength.
It looks like the world’s most powerful toddler kicking over the trophy case because his name wasn’t on the cup.

The Trump regime is going to execute a paraplegic Palestinian psychiatrist who has spent 17 years in prison by firing squad, and livestream it.
No other country in the world currently televises or livestreams executions.
Televising a public execution is beyond disgusting and barbaric. The death penalty should not exist, let alone be a live-streamed spectacle.
This is a grotesque violation of human dignity. We must oppose this - and the death penalty - everywhere.

This is Gregory Green. In 1991, he stabbed his pregnant wife Tonya to death during an argument and then called 911 to report his crime. He was allowed to plead no contest to second degree murder and sentenced to 15-25 years in prison. While incarcerated, Gregory was a model prisoner, and with the support of pastor Fred Harris, he was paroled in 2008 after serving just 16 years.
After his release, Gregory married Fred Harris’ daughter, Faith, who had two children from a previous marriage. Faith and Gregory had two daughters together, but Gregory’s anger and aggression caused Faith to file for divorce in September of 2016. He sought revenge right away.
Before Faith could move out, Gregory tampered with his own car so that the exhaust was re-routed back into the car itself. Late one night, he took his two sleeping daughters, Koi (5) and Kaleigh (4) and put them in the car to suffocate before returning their bodies to their beds.
Gregory then attacked his wife, duct taping her to a chair in the basement before cutting her on both sides of her face from ears to chin and shooting her in the foot — but he wasn’t done. Marching his two teenage stepchildren downstairs at gunpoint, he shot them both in the head in front of their screaming mother before bringing the bodies of Koi and Kaleigh downstairs for her to see. Gregory then went calmly upstairs and — once again — called 911 to report what he’d done.
In spite of clear, indisputable evidence of premeditation, Gregory was allowed to plead guilty to four counts of second degree murder, torture, assault with intent to do great bodily harm and felony firearms violations. He was sentenced to 45-100 years in prison; although this was the second family he annihilated, he will be eligible for parole in just 47 years.
This is the second man I’ve profiled who murdered his family, got locked up, got out, had a second family, and then murdered them too. If even one woman had been allowed to do such a thing, you can bet your life that we’d never hear the end of it.
Ever hear of Gregory Green before today?
Former Labour Deputy Leader Lord Thomas Watson, now Senior Vice President at Palantir Technologies UK Limited, wrote to me defending the firm after I raised concerns about his role and its public contracts.
Instead of trading endless letters, I’ve challenged him to a public, openly chaired debate.
He can defend Palantir's ethos, while I set out the case for democratic control and public accountability.
The public deserves to hear both sides and judge for itself. Will you accept, @tom_watson ?

This is not Russia
This is not Iran
This is not China
This is France > the self proclaimed country of human rights, democracy, freedom.
The same country whose elites lectures the rest of the World.
