In a shocking turn of events, Pakistan has officially flip-flopped on their stance regarding Donald Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Just less than 24 hours after initially expressing support for the controversial nomination, Pakistani officials have now withdrawn their backing, leaving many scratching their heads in confusion.
The whole debacle began when Prime Minister Imran Khan tweeted his enthusiastic endorsement of Trump’s nomination, citing his efforts in brokering peace deals in the Middle East. However, it seems that someone must have slipped some truth serum into Khan’s morning chai, as he quickly backtracked on his statement the very next day.
In a hastily called press conference, Khan sheepishly admitted, “Well, you see, I may have been a bit hasty in my initial endorsement of Mr. Trump. Turns out, I was just really craving some McDonald’s fries and got a bit carried away. Whoops!”
The sudden change of heart has left many Pakistanis baffled, with one citizen commenting, “I mean, I get that we all make mistakes, but this is a whole new level of indecisiveness. Can we get a refund on our Prime Minister, please?”
Even Trump himself was caught off guard by Pakistan’s about-face, reportedly exclaiming, “I was all set to add ‘Nobel Peace Prize winner’ to my Twitter bio, but I guess it’s back to just ‘Stable Genius’ for now. Sad!”
As for the Nobel committee, they are now facing a dilemma of epic proportions. Committee member Sven Svensson lamented, “We thought we had seen it all, but this takes the cake. How are we supposed to keep up with all these political shenanigans? It’s enough to make a Swede want to retire early and move to Hawaii.”
In the end, it seems that Pakistan’s flip flopping on the Trump Nobel Peace Prize nomination will go down in history as one of the most baffling political stunts of all time. As for Trump, well, he can always console himself with a Big Mac and a Diet Coke.
