Real estate mogul Donald Trump is no longer just in the running to become president of the United States, he has also reportedly been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, according to Agence France Presse (AFP).
The French news agency recently received confirmation of Trumpâs nomination from Kristian Berg Harpviken, the director of the Peace Research Institute of Oslo. According to Harpviken, the Nobel committee received a letter (whose author has not been revealed) nominating Trump for his âvigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, ISIS, nuclear Iran and Communist China.â
MSNBC has reached out to the Nobel Foundation to confirm these reports, but has not heard back at this time.
According to the Nobel website, the âqualified nominatorsâ can be former prize winners, national assemblies and governments, professors, members of international courts and other esteemed bodies. A person cannot nominate themselves, so if you were thinking the infamously self-confident Trump put himself forward, guess again. The nominators are not made public, but the nominees â which are supposed to be kept secret for 50 years â often are leaked. For instance, Pope Francis is widely viewed as a front-runner this year. Trumpâs competition also reportedly includes Nadia Murad, a woman who has been an advocate for ISIS rape victims, and Denis Mukwege, a Congolese surgeon who treats the victims of sexual violence.

I did not realize there was a Nobel Prize for Twitter meltdowns.
Why not? There is apparently one for doing absolutely nothing because Obama won it.
AKA the day the Nobel Committee lost whatever credibility it had.
Why not just give them out in boxes of CRACKER JACKS..?
They mean freaking NOTHING now.
The committee decided to give Obama one TWELVE DAYS into his first term....!
TWELVE DAYS..!
What a pack of slobbering idiots.
These things have become like Oscars. Who cares anymore?
Modeling more of the marketing techniques of Obama.
By the way, anyone can submit a nomination application, and they can be submitted by the person being nominated.
Nobel Price Committee
No, they lost credibility when they awarded Yassar Arafat, a known terrorist, the Nobel peace prize.
He might also get an Oscar
Racists!!!! Not one black among them...
Where’s Will and Jada to Boycott????
An equally illustrious prize.
VERY exclusive --don't spread this around.
Can it be any sillier than Al Gore getting it?

Nobel Peace Prize,
LOLO
He’s still more qualified for it than Obama was.
Who knew there was a “narcissist” category!
If the founder of the Nobel prize could see what it has become, I am sure you would use his greatest discovery to fix the problem.
Boom.
Almost NOTHING in her left-wing books turned out to be true --made it all up.
"Evil, Guatemalan right-wing soldiers burned my poor brother to death..!!!
Not only did they not burn him, it turned out he was STILL ALIVE.
The nutty b*tch made up all manner of stuff.
