President Trump on Sunday responded after multiple tweets in which he railed against the Nobel Prize — repeatedly spelling it as the "Noble Prize" — drew mockery online, asking, "Does sarcasm ever work?"

“Does anybody get the meaning of what a so-called Noble (not Nobel) Prize is, especially as it pertains to Reporters and Journalists?” he wrote. “Noble is defined as, ‘having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals.’”

“Does sarcasm ever work?” he added.

He also asked in subsequent tweets, which have since been deleted, whether reporters he claimed “have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong” would be “turning back their cherished 'Nobles' so that they can be given to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right.”

"Lawsuits should be brought against all, including the Fake News Organizations, to rectify this terrible injustice. For all of the great lawyers out there, do we have any takers? When will the Noble Committee Act? Better be fast!" he continued in the tweets, appearing to refer to the Nobel Prize Committee.

President Trump can't spell Nobel and he doesn't know there is no Nobel Prize for journalism.  He misspoke, but because he is consciously incapable of admitting error, he doubles down first...when that doesn't work he has proven willing to delete his mistakes, cover them up, and if his pathological lies paint him in a corner he will even obstruct justice. 

He is a pathetically small man.  I blame it on senility, and a spoiled upbringing.  JMHO
