IF THEY GOT THE PRIZES THEY DESERVE.. Cartoon published 10/11/2025 President Trump didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize—although he certainly earned and deserved it. He has been solving conflicts and stopping wars left and right—except for Ukraine, but he deserves the Prize for trying. We wonder why Trump seemed to want such an accolade in the first place. After all, the Peace Prize has been sullied since it was forked over to Obama for…well, nothing except for the fact he was half black. Maybe they should change the name to the “DEI Prize.” UPDATE: Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado says President Trump DESERVED the award: “He deserves it! Not only has he been involved in solving 8 wars, but his actions have been decisive to have Venezuela now at a threshold of freedom.” The silliness over chasing prizes, awards, and rewards prompted us to wonder…what do public figures REALLY deserve? Well, Trump does deserve the Nobel Peace Prize without question. He didn’t get it, but if he got what he deserved, he would get it. Gavin Newsom thwarted his state’s recall election that was put in place by angry and frustrated Californians who suffered under his rule. He pulled out stops and used trickery to escape, but Newsom DESERVES to be impeached, so we awarded him the “Recall Medal.” Nancy Pelosi made hundreds of millions of dollars by insider trading, thanks to her connections in Congress. She and her husband bought a fancy vineyard in California, so we award her the notorious “Pinot Gris Prize.” As we mentioned, Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize simply for becoming President. We think he should instead get the “Pea Prize” since his efforts at peace were minuscule. His protege and faint copy, Hakeem Jeffries, is often called “Dollar Store Obama,” so we gave him a Prize by that name. Chuck Schumer has shut down the government as well as his own popularity. Look for AOC to take over his seat, but not his barbecue grill. Schumer is a master at putting cheese on raw hamburger, so we awarded him a prize for his original cooking methods. Letitia James gets the “FAFO Prize” and we hope there are many more recipients. Greta Thunberg may have expected the Nobel Peace Prize, but her beloved Palestinians signed a peace deal and she had nothing to do with it. She promoted the climate change scam and then virtue signaled for Hamas. Look for her to irritate us further with some new crisis that she will single-handedly solve. Please stop, Greta. How dare you not stop? Last (and least), is James Comey. He smugly went in the back door for his arraignment. We wanted to give him the “Backdoor Prize,” but it sounded too rude. He likes death threats spelled out on seashells so he gets the “Treason Prize” — A big seashell reminding him of his dastardliness. — The GrrrTeam
