Trump's fake Nobel nomination to remain a mystery
The Local ^ | 5/08/18

The Norwegian police said Tuesday they had closed an investigation into Donald Trump's fake Nobel Peace Prize nomination after failing to identify the person behind it.

The Norwegian Nobel Institute filed a police report earlier this year after receiving a seemingly fraudulent nomination of the US president for the prestigious prize.

Suspicion mounted that the nomination was submitted by a person suspected of committing identity fraud to appear legitimate, as only a select group of individuals -- including members of parliament and government, former laureates and some university professors -- are entitled to propose names.

"The case was closed because the police lack information about the culprit," Tone Bysting, an Oslo police official, told AFP.

Someone slipped it under the door? I've got a question - after I call the cops when I see fake news, will they investigate?

Police investigation?

I thought anyone could nominate you for The Prize.

Wasn’t Rush Limbaugh nominated?

Just as the deadline for recommendations was closing yesterday, the former vice president, Al Gore, was nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, The Associated Press reports. Two Norwegian parliament members, Boerge Brende and Heidi Soerensen, put forth the nomination — as well as one for a Canadian Inuit activist, Sheila Watt-Cloutier...

Not to be outdone, the Landmark Legal Foundation, a public interest law firm “fighting for conservative principles in America,” submitted a nomination for its own candidate — someone, the group’s president, Mark R. Levin, said, whose “tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin,” deserves to be recognized: Rush Limbaugh.

The Nobel Prize today is meaningless. Might as well give one to Taylor Swift.

The outrage and “investigation” sounds phony.

Only a select group of individuals -- including members of parliament and government, former laureates and some university professors -- are entitled to propose names.

That explains a lot of the nominees the past few decades.

Let us give Trump the equivalent nobel peace prize, the prize you get from a crackerjack box! First you have to be a magic negro, promise that you will save the world, receive it before doing anything and after 8 years you still haven’t done anything to deserve it

They might as well give it to the North Korean leader.

After giving it to Obama for being black, it no longer has any real meaning.

Well, there is the million dollars that goes with a real Nobel prize, but of course that's chump change to Trump.

But I couldn't understand Dylan dithering on accepting his. The medal, meh, but I couldn't see him leaving the money on the table.

Another good point.

Find a worthy vegetable farmer, for growing peas in our time!

This a certainty. The two Korean leaders will share the “honor.” The One was awarded because he wasn’t the hated war-mongering Republican, Bush. While Trump isn’t Bush either, he is still reviled and republican.

Perhaps Dylan turned it down because he sees what a joke the Nobel prize has become. When a remorseless terrorist and someone who has never accomplished anything worthwhile (but he’s black!) can win the prize, it can’t be very much of an honor, can it?
