President Donald Trump sparked backlash after revisiting his long-standing gripe over Barack Obama’s 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaking from the White House, Trump questioned what Obama had “even done” to deserve the honour, calling the award “a total joke.”
Social media quickly lit up, with Trump critic and journalist Mehdi Hasan calling Trump “sad and needy,” accusing him of obsessing over his predecessor’s achievements.
