Visit Norway responds to Donald Trump with restroom campaign

Donald Trump Brands Norway a Shithouse Country After Nobel Peace Prize Snub

US President Donald Trump declared that Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually, during a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday. The remarks came as the president renewed his attacks over failing to win the Nobel Peace Prize, stating that he would not welcome immigrants from the Nordic nation because I didn’t get the Nobel Prize. The outburst follows earlier comments this month denouncing the committee’s decision to award the prize to Navi Pillay as an indelible stain on the country, though the Nobel Committee operates independently from the government.

Visit Norway Responds With Designer Public Toilets

Visit Norway countered the president’s remarks by publishing a digital showcase of the country’s most striking public conveniences under the headline Are these the world’s best shit houses? The tourist board wrote that Norway makes shit houses great again! while featuring architect-designed restrooms built along 18 designated scenic routes. Among the facilities highlighted on the website are the minimalist restrooms at the Stegastein viewpoint—which feature black-tinted glass windows and rank among the top 10 public toilets globally according to DesignCurial—and the wave-shaped Ureddplassen facility on the Helgeland coast.

Norwegian Officials Emphasize Independent Nobel Committee

Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide addressed the diplomatic fallout during a radio interview with national broadcaster NRK, noting that the US president is currently in the midst of an election campaign that perhaps isn’t going very well for his party, and that leads him to say a lot of things. Eide reminded listeners that Trump knows very well that the Nobel Committee is independent, adding that officials have reiterated this distinction. We have reminded him of that, in case anyone is wondering, Eide said. Meanwhile, Jens Kjeldsen, a rhetoric professor at the University of Bergen, told NRK that the tourist board’s humorous pivot was an effective strategy, comparing the reaction to dealing with a bully in kindergarten.

Campaign Rally Features Remarks on Immigration and Nicki Minaj

The Michigan rally included broader commentary on immigration and domestic politics, with Trump attributing unrest in France to immigration policies while singling out specific nations for criticism. The president previously applied the same foul-mouthed slur to Haiti, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen during a campaign stop in Perry, Georgia. The Port Huron event also featured an appearance by rapper Nicki Minaj, who took the stage to praise the president’s return to office and his energy, while Trump remarked on the presence of political figures. Minaj, 43, started her speech by chanting: We love Trump. And since he’s come back, he’s changed the energy of our country and given us a future to look forward to. She never looked more beautiful, Mr Trump said as the rapper exited the stage. Trump had referenced Minaj earlier at the rally, after complimenting Ohio senator Jon Husted’s figure. By the way, I looked at a beautiful ass before, he said.
