The Nobel Peace Prize Committee just kicked Donald Trump when he’s down and no amount of gong-swapping will soothe this burn

Donald Trump revealed today in a formal letter to the Norway PM just how much not winning the Nobel Peace Prize was driving his apparent determination to seize Greenland.

Answer: a lot.

The president said he ‘no longer feels an obligation to think purely of peace’ after failing to land the gong, although he did famously make do with a sloppy second after the leader of the Venezuela opposition, María Corina Machado, presented him with the one awarded to her “in recognition [of] his unique commitment [to] our freedom”.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has already tweeted that the award cannot, in fact, be ‘revoked, shared, or transferred to others’.

And on Monday it went even further, with this little gem of a tweet.

Talk about kicking a man when he’s down (again, again!).

And here is just a little bit of the love people had for that.
