As you’ve probably heard by now, last week Donald Trump ordered the assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, a move that has ratcheted up tensions with Iran, led to a missile strike on a major hub for American military operations in Iraq, and, analysts fear, sparked a conflict that will make an already tense situation in the Middle East even worse. Also, he casually threatened to commit a series of war crimes against Iran, international laws be damned. As you’ve probably also heard, Trump suffers from a constellation of possible mental illnesses that will take a team of the world’s foremost doctors years to fully understand, but which they have momentarily diagnosed as “batshit fucking crazy.” On Thursday, those conditions collided when he used a portion of his rally in Ohio to claim that he of all people deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, and that it’s completely unconscionable that someone else is walking around with what should be his honor.

“I made a deal,” Trump told the crowd. “I saved a country, and I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. I said, ‘Did I have something to do with it?’ Yeah. But you know that’s the way it is. As long as we know, that’s all that matters. I saved a big war, I saved a couple of ‘em.”

As is typically the case, it’s difficult to parse what, exactly, the guy is talking about, but those versed in original Trump have suggested “the head of the country” that he’s referred to is Ethiopian prime minister Abiy Ahmed. After taking office in April 2018, Abiy introduced major reforms to Ethiopia, freed thousands of activists from jail, let exiled dissidents come home, appointed women to top positions, and allowed the media to operate as it sees fit. He also resolved a border conflict with Eritrea, signing a peace deal with President Isaias Afwerki. Did Trump have anything to do with brokering the peace? Of course not. As the BBC notes, the U.S.’s influence “was minimal.” Rather, the United Arab Emirates played a key role in bringing the two countries together, with Saudi Arabia also playing a part.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Trump—a longtime fan of human rights abuses—has groused about not being awarded the top honor for promoting peace and suggested the process is rigged specifically against him. Last September, he told reporters, during a bilateral meeting with the prime minister of Pakistan, that he “would get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things, if they give it out fairly, which they don’t.” Among other things, he thinks he should get one for his efforts on the Korean Peninsula which have amounted to, checks notes, nothing.
