Trump nominated for Nobel peace prize, putting the Nobel committee on the hot seat; Will the committee be objective, or political?

After issuing its prestigious peace prize to a series of assorted clowns and faceless bureaucrats, has the Nobel peace committee decided to try to make its peace prize worth something again? Something connected to actual peacemaking?

Sure looks like it, given that one of them, a member of Norway's parliament has nominated President Trump for the prestigious prize.

According to the New York Post:

President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, according to a report.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament and chairman to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, submitted the nomination, Fox News reported.

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde, told Fox News.

The Norwegian noted that Trump played a key role in this development, the biggest platform for peace since Israel's entente with Egypt several decades ago, and what's more, other Arab states would likely follow suit. And in fact, quite a few are. And the troublemakers among them, such as the Palestinian 'state' are walking back their opposition to the accord, with peace breaking out all over.

On merit alone, by any objective standard, Trump's act is a massive contribution to peace.

LOL. This is a committee that gave a Nobel to Barak Obama less than 8 months after he'd taken office. This is a committee which seriously contemplated giving Greta Thurnberg a Nobel. They will not be giving Trump any prizes.

Since the Obozo got it for literally doing nothing, the NPP now means less than nothing. It’s a joke, Trump should refuse it if given the award.

Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize by the Norwegian Nobel committee. I can’t find any one person who nominated him. I guess they all raised their hands.

Trump actually has a real Norwegian legislator that nominated him - Christian Tybring-Gjedde.

He says he is not a big Trump supporter, but
“The committee should look at the facts and judge him on the facts – not on the way he behaves sometimes,” he continued. “The people who have received the Peace Prize in recent years have done much less than Donald Trump.”

He went on to say,
“For example, Barack Obama did nothing,” he told the cable news outlet, referring to the former US president’s Nobel Peace Prize win in 2009 for, according to the Nobel Committee, his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

But I think Pelosi still has the Nobel edge for her role as an honorable wise solon in trying to bring salons together.

The Mainstream media calls him a FAR-RIGHT NORWEGIAN POLITICIAN.

See Post #20 for a list of headlines.

Her eternal reward will be far greater than any “prize” here on Earth could ever be and her legacy lives on today. An amazing story and amazing lady.

These prizes are won either by murderers or by people who’ve done nothing. No way DJT gets it.

Ari Fleischer said something to the effect that it’s a liberal prize, and Trump doesn’t need it, but he should be acknowledged and praised for his accomplishment.

The entire Cat. 5 Woodward BS was unleashed today to knock the Nobel off the headlines.
