Donald Trump didn’t win a Nobel Prize this year — but already he’s been nominated for one in 2021, thanks to a right-wing Finnish politician who cites the president’s “endeavors to end the era of endless wars.”
Finland’s Laura Huhtasaari, a European Parliament representative and a member of the far-right Finns Party, nominated the president for the 2021 Peace Prize after Trump was snubbed from this year’s honors.
Trump’s nomination is “in recognition of his endeavors to end the era of endless wars, construct peace by encouraging conflicting parties for dialogue and negotiations, as well as underpin internal cohesion and stability of his country,” Huhtasaari wrote in a letter dated Friday to the Nobel Committee.
Anyone can be nominated for the award as long as they meet certain basic criteria.
Huhtasaari credited the president with managing to complete his term without ensnaring the US in another major international conflict and for reducing the number of troops in the Middle East.
Trump had received three nominations for the 2020 Peace Prize.
Ultimately the award was handed out to the World Food Programme, a branch of the United Nations dedicated to fighting hunger and food insecurity.

They have to add the term”right-wing” to the title of the headline probably to emphasize that the nomination is NOT based on merit but on politics.
I wonder if they’ve ever tagged the term “left-wing” on those who nominated Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter or Al Gore.
Great Fin!
Yassar Arafat , terrorist and as evil a man who has ever walked the Earth. If he can receive a Nobel Peace prize the award is all but worthless. Like Obama. Less than worthless!
If Joe Hidin wins the presidency he will be an automatic nobel prize winner for being able to read the teleprompter. (move a little closer please)
So is that #4? Of course there is ZERO prestige with this ‘award’ any longer considering not to distant past recipients and nominees. Correct response would be “WFC?”
RE: So is that #4?
Yes. Apparently the first three were for this year — 2020.
This fourth one is for 2021.
Nominations for 2020 had to be submitted by 2/1/20.
If the earlier nominations that were announced (by the submitter, NOT by the Committee) were at the time of submission, then all 4 are for 2021.
While I do think Trump deserves it, after Obama and Arafat, the Nobel prize has been reduced too little more than another participation trophy.
I say someone should start another one that actually means something. I knew Trump had been nominated 3 times, never expected him to be seriously considered.
Thing is, I really dont think he’s too worried about it. I don’t think he’s done any of this for a medal or a trophy.
All of these nominations are suspicious to me... yeah...tinfoil hat firmly affixed
No, they were for the 2021 prize. Nomination for the 2020 prize were supposed to have been submitted by February 1, 2020. All of Trump's nominations are for the 2021 prize.
This is apparently what earned the Finns Party the label of "far-right".
Suomalaiset rakastavat myös Trump!

What is it about our Prez and all these attractive blonde women?
Alpha male, bigly.
