US President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.
The nomination came from right-wing Norwegian politician Christian Tybring-Gjedde and relates to the ‘historic peace agreement’ between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. ‘For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,’ Tybring-Gjedde said to Fox News.
He said in his nomination letter: ‘As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity.’
He also discussed the president’s ‘key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and … creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea.’
Tybring-Gjedde also said that Trump had withdrawn many US soldiers from the Middle East.
Last year, Donald Trump said: ‘I think I’m going to get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things, if they gave it out fairly, which they don’t.
‘They gave it out — well, they gave one to Obama immediately upon his ascent to the presidency, and he had no idea why he got it. And you know what? That was the only thing I agreed with him on.’
It’s worth it just to watch leftard heads explode, but NO! That filthy prize is awarded to liars and murderers, usually both. He should refuse it even if he wins it.
And, if I recall correctly, Rush was nominated for the Nobel Pease prize also
The nomination may have been made to develop antiTrump noise
Sounds like a setup, so they can give it to the Thundberg child so she can talk down to Trump.
Isn’t that what this prize is really about? No way Trump will get it. He actually accomplished something substantive towards peace. That’s a deal killer.
Trump probably had little or nothing to do with this.
Carter might have, but I don’t think anyone nominated him.
That was the biggest peace event in the last 30 years, but he is a capitalist so it will go to some undeserving communist.
This will drive the libroids wild.
Yes he has. But they'll find a way to keep it from him. They'll shout that he's been impeached. They'll scream and holler and jump up and down and say he colluded with Russia to steal the election from Hillary.
They'll say he killed thousands of Americans with the Covid virus, that he mis-managed the pandemic.
Such is their hatred.
You got it. Thunberg glares and says “HOW DARE YOU!” with such conviction. That calls for a Nobel Peace Prize, and she’s welcome to it.
Trump’s foreign policy has been an amazing success.
Obama won and then went on to put US troops into more nations than Bush43. Obama bombed more nations than Bush43.....all while supporting terrorist states like Iran.
Lame.
The key question is - will it help President Trump get re-elected?
If not - waste of energy and time.
The Nobel Prize is a popularity award.
...the CBSABCNBCMSNBCCNNFOX Media conglomerate will report as 8th story tonight...
...Nobel Prize mention will be linked to story about stock market “collapse’ fears in the past few days due to Trump handling of Coronavirus and “White Supremacy” induced riots...
...Biden for POTUS ad to run immediately after the segment...
Excellent!
Suppose 1.) Trump is reelected, and 2.) He wins the peace price. Exactly how is he received by his leftist counter parts in the G-7, Merkel, Macron, and Trudeau? He gets along with Johnson and Abe. No idea about the guy from Italy. The reason I ask this is they are like Jr. High School girls in they way they act. Will the respect Trump then? Or will they be jealous because they accomplished so much more in the area of environmental justice or some other worthless drivel?
Trump should hold a presser and say he will refuse the award and explain that it has been tarnished by being awarded to terrorists and other miscreants and he will not lower himself by accepting the tainted thing!
The MSM would go absolutely nuts.
Jennifer Griffin from Fox News was there, and she says this is a blatant lie. Trump did not 'double dog dare" Pence. And the part about 'VP Pence to eat one too' is a misprint. VP Pence ate two, and he did it one his own. Trump was angered because Pence was trying to show up the President. The real story in this is that Trump and Pence don't get along and there is division in the White House.
It’ll be interesting to see if the mainstream democrat news sources suddenly disparage the award..
The term “right-wing” that comes just before “Norwegian politician” is your instructions on how to feel about him before you know anything about him.
