A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who put Donald Trump forward for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn his nomination.

Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine’s parliamentary foreign committee, told Newsweek on Tuesday that he had “lost any sort of faith and belief” in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

Merezhko said Trump had “virtually no reaction” to large-scale strikes on the Ukrainian capital in recent weeks, adding: “He has chosen the path of appeasement.”

    Wait… I thought Pakistan nominated him. Why nominate him as a Ukrainian when he wants you to give up parts of your invaded land. When he promised to end the war within 24h after inauguration, but did nothing but make a mess. When he’s Putin’s little bitch… Why are people trying so hard to make Idiocracy a reality?

      If a Nobel got him to calm down, I’d let him have it. It might as well be so much toilet paper anyway.

      If Trump wants to go all full-dictator, he might as well look the part and adorn his chest with medals like a bird hoarding shiny objects.

      Contemptible shitbag.
