BREAKING: After "receiving" the Nobel Prize, Trump DEMANDS an award from Dancing With The Stars for his moron dance

"It's the best dance. No one dances better. They want to see me dance because I won 2016, 2020 (which was stolen from me, everyone knows this) and 2024. They love me and know that i am their retribution, and I can dance better than anyone has ever danced, and so I demand that the producers of "Dancing With The Stars" present me with an award for the GREATEST DANCE MOVES OF ALL TIME, and have already instructed my FCC head Brendan Carr to CANCEL ABC's broadcast license if they REFUSE to do so. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J Trump."

Yeah, I MADE IT UP...or DID I?

He doesn’t care if it’s a “pity prize” or not.
He’ll probably make up an elaborate story like, “Machado was so angry and fuming at the noble committee’s exclusive of me from receiving the award, that she said with tears in her eyes and a lump in her throat, she said, Sir I think it’s only fitting for you to have my peace prize, I really have done so little to deserve it”.

...will be filmed (at Trump's insistence) at an angle that INCLUDES "his" Nobel Prize in plain view, on the wall or elsewhere.

Step one is baby got bottle.

Step two is baby's got to brag about it because, being a baby, he has no choice.

The president seems to prefer a model where others do the heavily lifting and then generously turn over their honors.

Trump received a Nobel Peace Prize the same way he received a Purple Heart:

He wants the honors without the sacrifice. He prefers a model in which others do the work and then generously turn over their awards to him, because, as he put it, itâ€™s â€œmuch easier.â€ www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-received-a-nobel-peace-prize-the-same-way-he-received-a-purple-heart

That reminded me of a story from almost a decade ago. Politico published this report in August 2016:

Without setting foot on a battlefield, Donald Trump said he received a Purple Heart medal on Tuesday at his rally in Ashburn, Virginia, from a retired lieutenant colonel and supporter.

‘I said to him, “Is that like the real one, or is that a copy?”’ the Republican nominee said moments after taking the stage at a local high school. Trump recounted the exchange, remarking that the man, who he identified as retired Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman said, ‘That’s my real Purple Heart. I have such confidence in you.’

“I always wanted to get the Purple Heart,” the then-candidate declared. “This was much easier.”

Purple Hearts are awarded to service members or their families after they’re wounded or killed in the course of their military service. Due to alleged “bone spurs” in his feet, Trump avoided military service, but by his own admission, he “always wanted to get the Purple Heart” anyway.

Having someone who actually served in the military hand him the honor was “much easier” for Trump than actually wearing the uniform and putting his life on the line.

With Machado, the story is similar: Trump wants the accolades without the sacrifice. He apparently prefers a model in which others do the heavily lifting and then generously turn over their honors to him, without him having to do anything to merit the award he covets.

But while the president will likely celebrate the Nobel Peace Prize that ended up in his possession, he’ll know — we all know — that there’s a dramatic difference between a gift and earned honors.
