“That’s completely unheard of,” Janne Haaland Matlary, a professor with the University of Oslo and a former politician, told public broadcaster NRK. “It’s a total lack of respect for the award, on her part,” she said, calling the act “meaningless” and “pathetic.”
LOL @ the both of them.
Him pushing for and then accepting someone else’s peace prize award says everything anyone needs to know about him: he’s the biggest asshole in the world and has no shame.
Don’t forget the middle part where he used the US military to kill a bunch of people and kidnap her main political foe.
I believe that if I were a past recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize I would be returning it. Not the money though, because fuck 'em, I’ll keep the money.
I think I’d sell it. Hold a big public auction for it. It makes it even more of a statement, and even more money!
Yeahbut . . . See, we already knew that. Like, almost a decade ago that was crystal clear.

I hold he’s afraid of dying because he’s so close to death’s door that he’s doing the prosperity gospel’s thing of trying to look good for god. He’s siphoning all the money he can, getting awards and structures built for him thinking it’s his way into heaven. Because a man like that would see holy salvation as transactional.
Mostly because he sees everything as transactional.
When you’re a drag to be around, nobody hangs out with you unless they want something from you. And that just reinforces the worldview that everything is transactional.
