Donald Trump: The Would-Be Dictator Who Couldn’t Win The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

Donald Trump’s Nobel dreams collapsed as the world chose courage over spectacle. A dictator’s fantasy meets a brutal reality. Trump's yearning for the Nobel Prize has been an open secret for years. During his presidency, he repeatedly brought it up, often with a mix of resentment and disbelief. He would remind crowds that Barack Obama received the prize in 2009, a fact that still seemed to gnaw at him. He would point to talks with North Korea, the Abraham Accords, or moments when his administration avoided escalating conflicts, as evidence that he too deserved recognition. But what Trump never seemed to grasp was that diplomacy is not a show staged for applause. Real peacemakers don't hold rallies about their greatness—they do the work quietly, often in dangerous circumstances, without the expectation of glory. Added to the equation are the storms he created both at home and abroad. Inside the United States, entire states and cities were thrown into political and cultural turmo...

Trump Isn’t a Target — He’s a Goldmine: Why Comedians Can’t Ignore the Chaos " | " Fedlan New

  Trump Isn’t a Target — He’s a Goldmine: Why Comedians Can’t Ignore the Chaos " | " Fedlan News : Donald Trump isn’t just a President—he’s a goldmine for comedians. From endless scandals to headline-grabbing moments, late-night hosts can’t ignore the chaos. There’s a reason why Trump sketches became staples of late-night television. Alec Baldwin’s impersonation on  Saturday Night Live  became iconic not because of personal hatred, but because the character practically wrote itself. A president who live-tweets his rage at 2 a.m., who boasts about crowd sizes at funerals, and who once suggested injecting disinfectant to fight a virus — that’s not a partisan caricature. That’s the news. Of course, comedians have their personal views, and that will always color their material. But blaming them for the disproportionate focus on Trump is like blaming firefighters for being busy during a five-alarm blaze. They’re just reacting to the flames. In the end, the role of comedy isn’t...

Donald Trump's Greenland Proposal: A Threat to NATO and a Gift to Vladimir Putin

Donald Trump's Greenland Proposal: A Threat to NATO and a Gift to Vladimir Putin By Ben Emos & Don Terry | Wednesday, January 15, 2025 | 2 min read Donald Trump’s intentions regarding the world’s largest island remain uncertain, but he has not ruled out the possibility of resorting to military threats against a NATO member. Such a move could invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter, which treats an attack on one member as an attack on all. This prospect poses a significant diplomatic challenge for the alliance, potentially destabilizing its cohesion and advancing Vladimir Putin’s goal of undermining NATO’s unity. During a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump suggested he could not dismiss the idea of using military or economic pressure to acquire Greenland—or even the Panama Canal. Adding fuel to speculation, his son, Donald Trump Jr., visited Greenland, raising questions about their intentions. The U.S. already maintains the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, a...
