Uhhhhh, she said way fucking more than a just a dig at trump:

“Just to be at this venue.… Your applause means a great deal to me. You don’t want to receive an award, prize, or anything, unless the public agrees that you deserve this. So that’s how I appreciate your applause today,” Pillay said in her remarks. “Being a lawyer and a judge, I still want to verify [this announcement]. I think it’s very appropriate that I’m with friends and colleagues, all of whom support human rights. The last thing I did [was] the delivery of the report on Gaza naming what’s happening there as genocide.”

Just ‘cause you’re a do gooder don’t mean you can’t throw shade like a villain

Maybe too high brow for me... How does that dig at Trump besides he's engaged in genocide? (common knowledge)

“Thank you very much. If you clap a little bit more I may share this prize with Trump,” she said. The room erupted in laughter.

That part is hilarious, but I thought op was saying that the genocide was a bigger dig.

No, he was saying that the remarks didn't just dig at Trump.

He was saying, sure, they made a joke about Trump, but their comments also had more meaningful sentiments as well.

This part kind of does. He's been a shrieking little pissbaby about not getting a nobel prize for years.

This explains why he vehemently attacked her in a rambling, incoherent 3 page post on LieSocial.

No. That's because he's jealous and hates intelligent women

That's mocking the previous winner more than Trump, if you ask me

I'm glad the Nobel Foundation has learned their lesson from last time when they gave the prize to somebody promising to hand it over to Trump.

This is the correct person to give a Nobel Peace Prize to. Somebody who stands up to warmongers.

Glad they realized appeasement doesn't work.

Even if they were big enough doormats to give it to him, he'll expect them to give it to him next year too.

Giving in to the bully will only encourage him to continue.
