On the other end of things, it really is a true example of the kind of person Trump is for accepting a prize awarded to somebody else. In just about any other case it would be unfathomable. But not so much with Trump. What an absolute lowlife he is.

Imagine he will put tape over her name and write his in with a Sharpie.

If St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago can redirect the path of a hurricane with a Sharpie, then redesignating to whom the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded with one doesn't seem like a particularly heavy lift.

I still can’t stop shaking my head about this whole thing. Can you imagine if the team that wins this year’s Super Bowl were to give their trophy to the New York Jets and the Jets acted like they actually won it?

I mean, this is very much like playing a game against a little kid and telling them they win, even when they don’t, so that they don’t throw a tantrum.

Well-adjusted people would find the made-up FIFA Peace Prize and this Nobel Peace participation trophy to be insulting and patronizing but not Dear Leader. He's so deeply insecure and emotionally stunted that this kind of pandering is often effective in manipulating his behaviors, although it doesn't appear to be working out for Machado.
 
Gaza “Board of Peace”



Former UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov will serve as the Board of Peace “High Representative” for Gaza — effectively the CEO.

Mladenov will report to an international Executive Board, whose members are:

  • White House envoy Steve Witkoff;
  • President Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner;
  • Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan;
  • Qatari minister Ali Al-Thawadi;
  • Egyptian intelligence chief General Hassan Rashad;
  • Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair;
  • Billionaire businessman Marc Rowan;
  • UAE Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Reem Al-Hashimy;
  • Israeli-Cypriot real estate tycoon Yakir Gabay;
  • Former UN Gaza envoy Sigrid Kaag

“Each member of the Executive Board will be responsible for a defined portfolio critical to stabilizing Gaza, including governance capacity-building, regional relations, reconstruction, investment attraction, large-scale funding, and capital mobilization,” the White House said.

The composition of the Executive Board indicates that Turkey and Qatar will continue to be influential and involved in Gaza, despite Israel’s reservations.

The United Arab Emirates is also represented on the Board - an issue that had not been finalized for many months.

The White House announced that two close advisers to Jared Kushner - Aryeh Lightstone, who has served as Kushner’s representative in Israel in recent months, and Josh Gruenbaum, who authored the Gaza reconstruction plan - will serve as “senior advisers to the Board of Peace”

According to the White House, they will lead strategy and day-to-day operations and “translate the Council’s mandate and diplomatic priorities into disciplined execution.”

U.S. General Jasper Jeffers has been appointed commander of the International Stabilization Force in Gaza.

Jeffers will oversee all security matters related to the Palestinian technocratic government, assist in efforts to demilitarize the Gaza Strip, and supervise the safe transfer of humanitarian aid and reconstruction materials to ensure they do not fall into Hamas' hands
