Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

As much as the Nobel committee has beclowned itself over the last several years, I doubt there is any way that he will win in. Given the multiple, historic peace agreements brokered by the Trump Administration, he certainly deserves it.

President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, just weeks after helping to broker peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

He was nominated by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, who praised Trump for his efforts towards resolving conflicts worldwide.

‘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.

Tybring-Gjedde, who is a four-term member of Parliament who also serves as chairman of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, said the Trump administration played a key role in the establishment of relations between The UAE and Israel.

The deal was first announced by the President on August 13, with Trump saying that the United Arab Emirates and Israel have agreed to establish full diplomatic ties as part of a deal to halt the Israeli annexation of occupied land sought by the Palestinians for their future state.

    Who cares Pat.

    All the best people.

    @DavidNeiwert: Anders Breivik, the Norwegian terrorist who gunned down 69 teenagers at a youth camp, was a youth leader in the political party this man leads. Breivik’s manifesto echoed Tybring-Gjeddes’ rhetoric as well, particularly his references to “creeping Islamization.”

    Mar asked, “Who cares?”

    Patriotic Americans.

  4. Mar

    So that leaves you out?

  5. Pat

    Mar,

    On the contrary. You’re the one who says, “Who cares?” I care deeply.

  6. Tuerqas

    So, any comment on why Trump does not deserve the award?  Or are we just pointing to Biden ads and linking weak disparagements to the Party of the foreign nominator?  I mean most of the serial killers I could name were Dems or Reps.  Are Biden or Trump worse because of them?

    I am not a Trump fan, didn’t and won’t vote for him, but who has contributed more to peace this year than the broker of the Israel/UAE agreements?  That certainly seems more potent than Obama’s peace prize who seems to have  received his for being elected.

  7. Pat

    “..but who has contributed more to peace this year than the broker of the Israel/UAE agreements?“

    There are 318 candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2020, of which 211 are individuals and 107 are organizations.

    I’d like to see what the other nominees accomplished before saying who’s most deserving.

    So, any comment on why Trump does not deserve the award?

    Why shouldn’t Kushner get it?

  9. Merlin

    Why not nominate Trump? Trump actually has an international accomplishment on his record.

    Barak Obama received his award in 2009 based upon future expectations rather than a record of achievement. Nobel secretary Geir Lundestad publicly expressed his regret for that decision back in 2015, also revealing that the Obama White House initially sought to have the award shipped to them rather than receiving it in person. Yep, it meant that much to the big guy.

    “The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: /- – -/ one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”  (Excerpt from the will of Alfred Nobel)

    Trump’s done exactly what for the fraternity between nations?

    What has he done that works against that?  How tight are your blinders?

  11. Kevin Scheunemann

    liberals never celebrate real peace.

    Only fake peace, when Obama is nominated for doing nothing.

    Awful. Just awful.

  12. Merlin

    Looks like they tossed Nobel’s standards in 2009 and made the award an unrealized hope-you-choose-to-participate trophy instead.

  13. Mar

    “Trump’s done exactly what for the fraternity between nations?”
    He might have pissed off countries wanted a free ride, like Germany, but President Trump also brought us closer to countries like Poland and Baltic countries. He also got us new treaties with Canada and Mexico. And most of Israel loves him.

  14. Mar

    But at least President earned his nomination.
    President Obama got his for picking his nose and wiping his butt after a poo.

  15. Pat

    Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is looking to be on par with getting the Medal of Freedom.

  16. Mar

    And Pat, why would you say something stupid like that?

  17. Pat

    “He also got us new treaties with Canada and Mexico.“

    For that alone he should get the Nobel Peace Prize. That war would have been ugly had it happen.

  18. Mar

    Still refusing to answer Pat?

  19. Pat

    What is your question, Mar.

  20. Mar

    “Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is looking to be on par with getting the Medal of Freedom.”
    A Sgt. Major Thomas Payne just received The Medal of Honor for rescuing hostages from ISIS while Iraq.
    I guess Pat will insult Sgt.Major Thomas Payne now.

  21. penquin

    “President Obama got his for picking his nose and wiping his butt after a poo”

    Link, please

  22. Mar

    Well, penguin, President Obama didn’t do anything to deserve the Nobel Peace prize.
    So, all he did to get the prize is for things I mentioned.
    Just doing normal human things, unless Obama doesn’t do wipe his butt or pick his nose.
    If that is the case, maybe he could get the Nobel prize for medicine.

  23. Le Roi du Nord

    Or, as the trump campaign called it, the “Noble Prize”.

  24. Pat

    “I guess Pat will insult Sgt.Major Thomas Payne now.“

    Why would I insult our military members? I believe them to be good and noble people. Only a fool would insult them by calling them losers and suckers.

  25. Merlin

    Trump has been nominated a second time. Check on your liberal friends.

  26. Mar

    As usual the ever hateful Le Roi adds nothing to the conversation.

  27. Mar

    Gee Pat, then what did you mean that Noble Peace Prize is on par with the Medal of Honor.
    Please explain that statement.

  28. Pat

    Mar,

    Liar. I never said that. Go back and learn how to read, lying Mar.

  29. Mar

    “Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is looking to be on par with getting the Medal of Freedom.””
    Who’s the Liar, Lying Pat?

  30. Le Roi du Nord

    Pat:

    Looks like he was hoisted on his own petard.  Bravo.

  31. Mar

    And again, Le Roi adds nothing to the conversation.

  32. Pat

    Mar,

    This is a copy of your post.

    “Gee Pat, then what did you mean that Noble Peace Prize is on par with the Medal of Honor.
    Please explain that statement.“

    Lying Mar, you claimed I said “Medal of Honor”.

    Why do you feel the need to lie?? That or why do you post when your drunk?

  33. Mar

    I stand corrected Pat and you are tight and I apologize.

  34. Mar

    Should say you are right.

  35. Pat

    I’m both!

  36. Mar

    That being said, your comment about the Medal of Freedom and Nobel Peace Prize was completely moronic.

  37. Le Roi du Nord

    So mar, what did that insult add to the conversation?

  38. Pat

    So what, Lying Mar.

  39. Mar

    And again Le Roi adds nothing.
    And congratulations Pat. For multitasking.

  40. Le Roi du Nord

    mar:

    Afraid to answer?  Or ashamed to?

  41. Kevin Scheunemann

    Trump has received a second nomination for work in Kosovo.

    Media quiet.

    Liberal media is awful.

    I’m so disgusted by liberal media right now.

  42. Mar

    You’re not worth answering, Le Roi.

  43. Le Roi du Nord

    So again you have nothing.  No surprise.

     

  44. Pat

    Thank God we gave you, Kevin, or no one would have heard this.

  45. Kevin Scheunemann

    Pat,

    Here to serve.
