Leading up to the 2016 Presidential election, dozens of overconfident celebrities and political figures promised to flee to Canada if Trump emerged victorious (we noted them all here: "These Are The Celebrities Who Vowed To Leave America If Trump Wins").  Unfortunately, none of them have announced plans to follow through on those promises despite news from Canada's immigration officials that applications for political refugee status from Americans was up 5x YoY in November.

It was just a few short days ago, on Wednesday of last week, that Ukraine's largest lender, PrivatBank, said that reports it will be nationalized were "attempts to create panic and destabilize the political situation in the country."

It took only nine days in office for President Obama to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Less than nine months later, the Norwegian Nobel Committee followed through and awarded Obama the Nobel Prize for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy.” That, despite the fact Obama had no significant diplomatic accomplishments.
