A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who put Donald Trump forward for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn his nomination.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

    Die fuhrer is a narcissist. Could have been trying to entice die fuhrer to support Ukraine over Daddy.

      You don’t deal with narcissists by placating them. That just reinforces their narcissism and makes it worse.

          Search me. I’m no psychiatrist, but mockery works for me. That’s probably not an ideal approach either, but rewarding that kind of behaviour seems worse to me.

          It’s best to just try to avoid them altogether, which probably isn’t possible in this case.
