PARTLY FACETIOUS: How about giving a Nobel Prize of chemistry to Trump?
“The Nobel Peace Prize Committee met early this year to…”
“That is bordering on treason.”
“Excuse me? Mentioning the Nobel Peace Prize…”
“You know President Trump develops an immediate antipathy towards any other nominee.”
“Come on, you really don’t agree with President Trump on this matter! I mean did Machado really deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize?”
“There is that. I tell you selections even if they are the outcome of a democratic process…”
“Reminds me of Ayub’s basic democracy.”
“Remind me what that was?”
“Well he selected 80,000 union councillors to act as the electroral college for the president and assemblies….”
“I see so the Nobel Peace Prize Committee members…”
“Right.”
“Doable but there is one important difference: the union councillors did not need to prove that they had a backbone.”
“Gotcha so the Nobel Committee wanted to assert a modicum of its dignity and awarded it to someone opposed to Maduro who they thought would be the most acceptable to President Trump.”
“Maybe the committee members can come for some training to this country and…”
“Don’t be facetious.”
“’Anyway I have the perfect solution.”
“What if the peace prize is split into two and…”
“President Trump doesn’t like to share.”
“Okaay so why not give the peace prize to a third party…”
“What third party?”
“Well Norway is supportive of Zelenskyy right so a statement can be made…”
“And given that President Trump isn’t too enamoured of Zelenskyy ….”
“It could be having your cake and eating it too.”
“Hmmmm but how about giving a Nobel Prize of say chemistry to President Trump – he does enjoy good chemistry…..”
“And medicine for our man, I mean there is good juju…”
“Shut up.”
