10 October—Surprise! The Terribly Rude Unhinged Megalomaniacal Prick who conned his way to tyrannizing the United States and is doing his best to tyrannize the world is a sore loser. Last night, after his first stump performance in Syracuse, New York, in a decade (for which only four of 16 local Republican candidates were foolhardy enough to show up and protesters dominated the scene), the narcissist-in-chief let loose on his digital ego trip:

Repeating his typically hyperbolic boast that he’d “settled eight Wars” and was “about to win two more” in Iran and between Russia and Ukraine, Donald Trump whined on his big-time-money-losing website, “The United States of America, represented by me, as your President, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t. This is an indelible stain on Norway, one that will never be forgotten.

“The Nobel ‘Peace’ Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of Radical Ideologues who are Anti-Democracy, and Enemies of Civilization! The Nobel Prize was given today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of. In all of the Wars that I have settled, I never spoke to the United Nations—they were of no help.”

Gracious in defeat. Is that Donald Trump or is that Donald Trump?

In reluctant explanatory defense of Trump, then, as a classic textbook narcissist, he simply can’t help being a sore loser. The big brash bully really has a fragile ego and equates losing with being flawed or inferior. (Yes, we know he is, but he doesn’t.) So rather than accept responsibility for whatever doesn’t go his way, he blames everyone else, circumstances beyond his control, or unfair rules.

Moreover, as we’ve seen through the decades, even before he contaminated politics, when Donald Trump loses or fails in any way, true to narcissistic type he lashes out with fits of temper and bends rules and humiliates others in an effort to regain control. Textbook all the way.

So it’s really no surprise at all that after the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, which as everybody knows was rightly his, was instead awarded to totally unworthy Navi Pillay, a universally respected former judge of the International Criminal Court, only because the Nobel Committee was biased, liberal, and stupid, Trump should choose that time—that very day—to impose illegal coercive sanctions on the ICC. Whatever excuses Trump’s stooges may give, the world knows they’re nothing but sore loser’s sour grapes. And who knows what sanctions other entities despicable Navi Pillay has been connected with will suffer?

It’s not yet known whether Trump’s pals at FIFA and the PGA will be giving him 2026 peace prizes. But if they don’t come through, Navi Pillay has magnanimously declared in an online video that she “may share this prize with Trump.” “May” is the operative word, to be sure, no guarantees. Will Navi make it two Nobels for Trump? What does the prediction market say?
