The last American president to have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize was honored less for something tangible he had achieved, and more for who he was and what he represented. President Barack Obama, the Nobel committee declared in 2009, has “created a new climate in international politics.” If President Donald Trump is not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, it would be reasonable to suspect that the reason is similar. Trump also created a “new climate in international politics,” just in a way that’s much less appealing to the judges in Scandinavia. So maybe his chances of receiving the prize are also less about what he had achieved, and more about who he is. But overlooking him would be a mistake. Whatever one might think about Trump’s other actions and overall personality, the president deserves to be seriously considered for a Nobel Peace Prize. And if not him, it should go to his adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner. They deserve it for achieving a breakthrough that eluded all of Trump’s predecessors, something no president before him has done: He successfully pushed for two back-to-back peace treaties between Israel and a pair of Arab nations — the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain — signed at the White House on Tuesday....

NBC misprint........
Retraction coming.
Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for indicating that he was going to take the United States down a few notches.
The Nobel Peace Prize is a political tool.
It’s not real.
President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, but the NPP doesn't deserve President Trump. Besides, the prize will go either to some Marxist BLM a-hole, or to some transvestite freakazoid. And to no one anywhere near the Far East.
Right. Obama was given a prize-—in advance-—which is disgusting, for being an incoming black President and for being able to wiggle his jug ears in a funny way./s Not exactly Dag Hammarskjold level stuff.
Footnote for younger FReepers: UN Sec. Gen. long ago.
He died in the crash of his DC-6 airplane in Northern Rhodesia while en route to cease-fire negotiations during the Congo Crisis. He is the only person to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize posthumously.
Obama was ‘elected while black’ which was the sum total of everything he did to win the Prize...
Has anyone called VietNam vet, John Kerry, for an explanation?
Had they given President Trump even the slightest bit of credit, the woke Millennials in the newsroom would've said they no longer felt safe. So they didn't and instead whined that the participants weren't wearing masks.
White House largely disregards coronavirus precautions during Abraham Accords signing
God, I hate these people.
Praise Report!
They ignored that news just as they ignored the Nobel Peace Prize nominations. It says everything about how corrupt they are. They lack all independence.
Media has all but ignored the Abraham accord, which is unconscionable. Do they have any idea the amount of American blood and treasure given up in the Middle East to someday be able to have peace? If for nothing else, this should have been a BREAKING NEWS for days to honor the fallen and maimed who gave their all in this godforsaken region and for the freedom given to these hacks who don’t think it is important.
If anyone thinks differently, they are not paying attantion.
Did obama ever donate the million to charity he “won” for getting the nobel prize?
For President Trump, it's just another feather in his cap. :)
So true. And I pray he gets his vindication these next 4.5 years!
Obama didn’t do squat.
Indeed. Praise the Lord!
