Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) tore into President Trump early Saturday after his high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska ended without a deal, accusing the president of “selling out” Ukraine. “Looks like once again Trump is selling out Ukraine and bowing down to dictator Putin,” he wrote on social media platform X. “No Nobel Peace Prize for that.”

His critique comes days after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton quipped that she would nominate Trump for the coveted prize if he successfully squeezed a ceasefire agreement out of the Russian leader.

Trump and Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday for a roughly three-hour discussion. While details of the conversation have not been released, the president touted the meeting as “productive” and signaled that while progress was made, a deal was not yet on the table.

“We didn’t get there, but we have a good chance,” he told reporters following the summit, but did not take questions. The president later briefed NATO and European leaders — who responded by doubling down on their support for Ukraine — on the meeting. Schumer, in separate comments late Friday, accused Trump of rolling out the red carpet for Putin, who he called an “authoritarian thug.”

1. Meh.

I stopped caring about the Nobel Peace Prize back when Henry Kissinger won it.
Yes I'm that old.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the evil bastard does win it.
Maybe even sharing it with Putin.

2. It has been good and bad (politicized)--depending on who is on the committee...

The world's eyes are on it now and world opinion is overwhelmingly disgusted with Trump--perhaps earlier, even, than they united in opinion against Hitler. So, I will be beyond dismayed if they "bite" with Trump's obvious attempts to extort a "win."

3. I hope so n/t

4. If anyone who deserves it

is Chef José Andrés. That man literally shows up anywhere and everywhere there is conflict to feed people undergoing calamities (including right here in U.S. when he set up shop during 45's 35 day government shutdown back in 2o18 - 2019, when his org served meals to furloughed federal workers in D.C.).

5. I agree.

6. Gilligan got more done

On his "Three HourTour"!

7. Troll the pedo like Newsome

Every Democrat should be trolling that POS with every post. Maybe we’ll give him a heart attack.

8. Some good things have come out of the buddy meetup in Alaska.

World leaders now know Putin is hell bent of gobbling up Ukrainian territory.

European leaders now know Trump is ineffective as a leader of the Free World.
And that it is now up to them to stop Russia from marching West.

But yes, give Trump that Nobel Peace prize, it has lost most of its meaning anyway.
And the sudden rush of happiness may just kill his diseased brain.

So all good really.

9. No Character Tests

Considering who has won in the past, they do not do character tests before awarding the Nobel Peace Prize.

If they did, Trump would be automatically disqualified.

The problem with ceding any land to Russia for peace, what assurances would there be Putin will not attack again after his military gets stronger.

10. x a million. Mr. Chamberlain aka the Don will sell them in a heartbeat. Didn't deliver on Biden dirt. Impeachment #1

11. Someone ask Trump: Did Neville Chamberlain get or deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

Though he thought he achieved "peace in our time."
