Donald Trump, and those who support him without any qualms, are promoting preposterous ideas, that indicate total delusion.
The idea of a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump is hilarious, as he has no credentials to win such an award, and it seems clear that the Nobel Committee will not consider giving an authoritarian who is Fascist and mentally deranged, such an award.
The fact that Trump is also a convicted felon, and was impeached twice, and has had multiple bankruptcies, and have lied so often that he has no idea of truth, only adds to the craziness of the concept of a Nobel Peace Prize.
Also, the idea of Trump being added to Mount Rushmore National Monument in South Dakota, is immediately a joke.
Of course, then South Dakota Governor, and current Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, was the loon who came up with that idea, which led to her gaining a position in the Trump Administration as close to the worst single appointment of a long list of many. Noem is a danger in her position, and an embarrassment to the idea of women in government!
For one thing, no one can be added to that monument, without creating damage to the tenuous condition of that site.
But also, if there were to be the equivalent of a second Mount Rushmore being created somewhere else on American soil, Trump would not be on the list to be considered.
Instead, the likelihood would be a combination of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman or Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama!
Reagan would be the Republican to add, not Trump!
This is silly season, overall, with the craziness of the Nobel Peace Prize and Mount Rushmore being bandied about as proper awards for Trump, and it will never happen!
You have to ask, what was so lacking in his life that he needs to have such validation….. so obvious that he is just a sad little man.
Another thing that’s preposterous:

Inside Trump’s gunboat diplomacy with Venezuela
“While administration officials have refused to rule out an invasion, nearly all privately believe it unlikely. However, Trump’s deployment does include 2,200 Marines, the boots-on-the-beach branch of the military. That’s hardly typical in drug enforcement.”

President Donald Trump says he will sign an executive order requiring Americans to show ID at the polls, and reiterated he will take action to curtail mail-in voting.
“Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!!!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social late last night.
