Niels Bohr famously dissolved the medal he got for his Nobel Price for chemistry in acid when the Nazis invaded his home country of Denmark, to prevent it from falling into the Nazis’ hands.

Unlike him, the most recent recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize of all things, who shall not be named here, because she doesn’t deserve being named, handed her medal to a deranged megalomaniac and fascist wannabe dictator.

    And I don’t know how it’s controversial that a piece of metal is worth the risk of a dictator doing whatever he wants in retaliation. You ask what danger there is… this is like asking what a mob boss threat is worth. Giving him that literally changes nothing except it makes Trump look pathetic and desperate on the world stage. No one thinks he earned the award except the people who already think he’s God regardless of what he does.
