Again I find myself concerned over Donald Trump’s mental health, as he once again grumbles loudly over being passed over for this prestigious award.

Could any rational person truly believe that he deserves it?

I'm not surprised. 

He is, and always will be, concerned about and ONLY himself. 

But hey, it's what the American voting public wanted.

He genuinely believes his own words. I really believe
that.
So in his head, he has stopped 8 wars and will shortly
stop 2 more.
He thinks he is the smartest man on the planet.

His mental health is shot

JB: Only (slightly less than) half of us!

I like to reassure myself by pointing out that 77.3 million Americans is only 28.9% of the adult population of the United States. But I have to acknowledge that winning with the support of 28.9% of all eligible voters means that, somehow, somewhy, 56.9% of all eligible voters simply chose not to.

I can’t argue with the fact he has the brainpower of chocolate pudding, but
he’s had this image of himself for decades. This isn’t anything new. He
believes he should get all the attention which includes all the big-time
awards. But the biggest reason he deserves this one is because Obama got
it. And anything his black arch nemesis gets, he should get automatically.

Obama himself said he (Obama) did not deserve the prize.

I’m reminded of a comic book writer I once knew who fully believed he would someday win the Nobel for literature.

Obama = Superman

Trump = Lex Luthor

Obama > Luthor

Trump is always comparing himself to Obama. Wanting the same adulation that Obama gets. The fact that when Obama opened his Presidential Library over the summer, many from political, media, and entertainment world attended and spoke highly of Obama.

Plus, the fact that the Obama Library has a learning center and a basketball court makes it more of welcoming to the citizens of Chicago.

Dozey Don would never have such a thing.

Comparing Trump to Lex Luthor undersells Lex Luthor's competence and intelligence. In a big way.

as others have said, Lex is a genius. Trump is maybe more like hammerhead.

Sharing viral clips of a mentally ill young man getting
mauled to death after climbing into a tiger enclosure, to
his 13 million followers and making a joke of it is sure
get Trump a peace prize.

The Obama prize was a low-point in Nobel history, utterly unmerited - even by his own admission. Living in the country that actually awards this Prize, I'm still embarrassed just thinking about it.
