Is the Nobel Peace Prize given to people who accomplished a lot as individuals (like Maria Corina Machado) or people who accomplished a lot at scale without doing much beyond a few phone calls and document-signings, like Trump?

Because a few phone calls and document-signings can bring about many orders of magnitude more "peace units" in the world, if backed by the world's largest economy and the world's most effective military at projecting power.

The Nobel peace prize cannot be given to someone who rebrands the ministry of defence to the ministry of war and proclaims on a stage that he hates his enemies. These things are mutually exclusive.

Not only that. He has threatened to militarily invade countries like Canada and Greenland just because he wants what they have. He also asked his supporters to punch his critics in the face and offered to pay their legal fees.

I mean, he's sending troops to domestic democrat cities because he watched a fox news segment that showed footage from 2020. .....

I will admit I've had some fun pointing the Fox News crowd to live Oregon traffic cams.
