[ransomnote]

Today, President Donald J. Trump was nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in brokering the Abraham Accords, bringing about the full normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and marking a major step toward a more peaceful Middle East. This historic diplomatic breakthrough between Israel and the United Arab Emirates is the most significant step toward peace in the Middle East in more than a quarter of a century.

This nomination comes amid widespread international support for the peace accords and optimism that the region finally may be turning a corner. By uniting two of America’s closest partners in the region—something many said could not be done—this agreement will create a more peaceful, secure, and prosperous Middle East.

This peace deal is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of President Trump, and he is honored to be considered by the Nobel Committee. President Trump will host the Israeli and Emirati delegations for a signing ceremony of the Abraham Accords on September 15 at the White House.

Greta the Grump is also one of the nominees.

[Kickass Conservative]

That was stated right before the Bob Woodward Book coordinated Inquisition at the Cracker House Presstitute Conference.

“Greta the Grump is also one of the nominees”.

She will win. They would intentionally vote for her to embarrass the president.

DJT should decline the nomination.

The Nobel Prize is meaningless anyway. It’s been political since Einstein was passed over because he was a Jew.

[Viking2002]

If Trump won, the Left would find a way to spin it into an Obama legacy victory, Trump just gets the spoils. And the story would last exactly one news cycle. I’ll lay even money on Scoldilocks getting it.

[simpson96]

He should decline the nomination.

After the likes if Gore and Obama getting one, and Thunberg being a nominee, it’s beyond a joke.

[Bullish]

The Nobel commission should just award themselves one for hypocrisy and be done with it.

[fhayek]

Peace. How do we achieve it?

I have long maintained that there are three types of people in this world. Those that are naturally peaceful, Those that are naturally warlike, and those who would be warlike if it wasn't for the negative consequences of being so. In two of these three cases, you need a strong force to maintain peace. Unfortunately, in this world, maintaining a strong force never gets you credit for being a peacemaker.

[laplata]

You’re right and that POS Obama got one is more proof of that.

The president should decline and state that it is a meaningless, political gimmick and past winners is proof of that and he does not care to participate in such farces..... or words to that effect.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

That's odd. It's my understanding that many many Jews have gone on to win Nobel awards at least the real ones in the sciences.

I can understand the international community not giving any peace prizes to Jews given their antipathy and/or apathy towards Israel.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

If Einstein got it, wouldn't it be for his advocacy against the atomic bomb?

Hasn't that been something that has kept the world from starting WWIII?

[BerryDingle]

The Nobel Prize is meaningless anyway. It’s been political since Einstein was passed over because he was a Jew

Yup, then Arafat and Obama get one.

[BerryDingle]

Being nominated is the same as saying “we believe you may be the biggest @$$h0!# in the world”.

[DIRTYSECRET]

fhayak is the smartest one here but I don’t know what the real Hayak had to do with military/foreign policy. I do remember a report that 75% of men would rape if they knew they could get away with it. Stupid question. Anyone-please find a similarity in my post and his/hers.

[stormhill]

It’s been political since Einstein...

But of course it's political! 0 received it for the monumental achievement of...existing. The uber liberals in the Nobel commission know dern well that to win the prize at this time would make Trump an irresistible force. Is there anyone silly enough to believe there's any chance Soros would let that happen?

[Deplorable American1776]

It should be called the Bullshit Peace Prize. Greta is on the list? After Obama won for doing nothing, it is like a prize for participating!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

He’ll never get it but Trump deserves it.
