President Trump said Friday that he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe because of his talks with North Korea, although Trump said he doesn't expect to win the prize in October.
"I'll probably never get it. That's okay. They gave it to Obama and he didn't know what he got it for. With me, I probably will never get it," Trump said during a Rose Garden press conference. "We do a lot of good work. This administration does a tremendous job. We don't get credit for it."
The Norwegian Nobel Committee received 304 nominations for this year, and 219 individuals and 85 groups are now under consideration. The committee accepts submissions from a small group of eligible government officials, academics, and civic leaders.

As opposed to “HOPE” he should get one for “RESULTS.”
Go, Japan...!!
He absolutely deserves it for defusing what was likely a terrible destructive war with NK.
But he won’t win!
We all know that as the Nobel group is very leftist.

Yep. AOC will probably get one for her Green New Deal. After all, Al Gore got a Nobel prize for his Global Warming nonsense. And AOC is much more progressive than Gore.
The whole talk was another good one....he signed the National Emergency Declaration and is moving forward instead of wasting his/our time trying to out wait the Dems.
Lots of concern trolls howling that he was rolled or caved but he’s doing what needs to be done in the reality he is working in....
LOL would love to see liberals heads explode for the President to get the Nobel prize.
The only one who I know of who really deserved it was Theodore Roosevelt.
TR almost single handedly negotiated an end to the Russo/Japanese war. He did it in person too.
In a dangerous world, there is nothing like having other countries who are real allies and friends. You can’t do much about how enemies are going to feel about you, but you can support and appreciate your friends. I hope we reciprocate with some kind of meaningful gesture of respect. That would mean something to Japan.
Noble Peas.
True fact: After Bronco Bama got the prize, some DC resident called in to the Chris Plante talk show to complain about Chris denigrating "his" President, who, after all, had just won a "Noble" Peace prize. Bemused, Chris replied "Noble Peace Prize, eh?" to which the called "'At's right, and don' you forget it, Chris!"
A real newsman's headline:
Trump nominated for Nobel Prize by Japan's prime minister
If Reagan didn’t win the NPP for ending the cold war, but Gorbachov did, the organization is hopeless.
They should give AOC a Nobel prize for Twerking in front of the camera...Commando.
Another wonderful intervention from our brilliant President!
He’s correctly calling out the shameful decision to give Obozzo the prize for managing to go 20mimutes without farting.
Trump is the peace President and the history books will show him as such
Trump should adopt:”Hopes are wishes without results. Results are ideas put to use!”
Lots of people get nominated. Only a very few win over time.
As you stated, Leftists are the shoe-in.
I do think it's interesting the former chairman of the Nobel Committee admitted they made a big mistake with Obama.
Trump nominated for Nobel Prize by Japan's prime minister
Which headline would an impartial journalist actually use? Hm.
I guess the Examiner couldn't be bothered to fact-check a public action by foreign leaders.
beat me by 13 min lol
It is better that he does not win. From these lonesome creatures an award such as this could only be an attempt to corrupt.
