Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is reportedly in the running to receive the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize.
Despite the billionaireâs controversial call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, which drew international backlash, Trump earned the nomination for the award because of his tough stance on terrorism and other security threats, according to Nobel watcher Kristian Berg Harpviken, director of the Peace Research Institute of Oslo.
Harpviken said the nominating letter he received outlined why Trump deserved the award. Supporters wrote that the real estate mogul deserved the prize because of âhis vigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, ISIS, nuclear Iran and Communist China,â according to the Agence France-Presse.
Thousands of people around the world are allowed to make nominations for the award, including parliamentary ministers, government members, former prize winners and some university professors. The Nobel Institute accepts all valid nominations, which must be submitted by Feb. 1, but the names of nominees remain confidential.
Other potential nominees for the prestigious prize include German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who was Timeâs person of the year in 2015, and Pope Francis, according to the AFP.

Is somebody poking fun?
I have a feeling that a year and a half from now we’ll all be on here heartbroken because Washington hasn’t changed a bit. No matter who gets elected. We’ve all seen it way too many times to get too excited about any candidate.
And the gopE will stop Cruz at every turn if he’s elected. The same goes for Trump.
You have to start small, train your forces, build your operational concept and grow into the grander strategy.
>>Last time I listen to Rush.
When the Establishment vs Conservative divergence began to be easily and consistently detectable, I noticed that he was marching off with the E team. Haven’t listened since, except for a laugh from time to time.
Reported it too. Where’s the articles from the leftist MSM?
bye-bye......
