You're right. Instead he should have shamelessly claimed his Peace Prize and then proceed to bomb the sh*t out of Afghanistan - often killing civilians - all the while keeping that I'm so lovable smile on his face.
Or, he should have told you how wonderful he was for signing the Paris Climate Agreement, yet - per Naomi Klein and others - it was a nonsense agreement (i.e., nothing binding, soft commitments, etc.). And then on his watch of 8 yrs, USA fracking production ramps up to the point of the USA becoming a net exporter of fossil fuels. How green is that?
And these things compare how to your example? You have lost your compass as well.
