U.S. President Donald Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in reaching an agreement to work toward de-nuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
The U.S leader was nominated by two members of Norways governing Progress Party, according to state broadcaster NRK. The deadline for this years prize passed in January, so this nomination would make him eligible for next year. It is unclear whether he was nominated for this years prize.
Nominations for the worlds most coveted prize are open to lawmakers, academics and researchers from around the world. The Nobel Committee in Oslo typically receives hundreds of nominations each year, and past candidates have also included Russian President Vladimir Putin and Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro. A record 330 people were nominated this year.
While the Norwegian Nobel committee is appointed by parliament, its decisions are independent. Trump was nominated by two right-wing members of Norways Progress Party, which advocates for limited immigration and lower taxes.

It’s now the 0bama participation trophy.
If they give it to him (and that’s a big IF) he should refuse the medal, but take the cash award and give it to the NRA.
Bwaa-Haa-Haaa!
Trump should graciously thank them for considering him but decline to accept.
He should then suggest the Commitee consider someone
leading the fight against global human/child trafficking.
A week ago we read that Kim Jong-Un and the South Korean president were being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize, and that Donald Trump’s odds of nomination were much lower. Didn’t I read somewhere that Trump dismissed it and said “Peace is the prize”. If so, that’s one of the classiest quotes in modern politics.
he should send Bolton to pick it up
Understandable, they are all members of “The Resistance”
I bet they’d give the NPP to Rocket Man, like when Time named Gorbachev instead of Reagan Man of the Decade.
I’ll add that to my list!!! Thanks...
He could ask Patti Smith to accept the award in Stockholm, like Bob Dylan did. Maybe she would remember her lines the second time around.
Good for them. President Trump deserves it. But I doubt they give it to him.
Word!
Le Duc To.
Accept the Nobel Peace Prize under one stipulation.... that those crazy Norwegians strip Obama of his peace prize first. Otherwise, tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine.
No, this is too good. I cant take it! :)
I lovelovelove the idea of Rodman picking up DJT’s prize for him —saw him on the news talking about Korea—Dennis’d wear a MAGA hat and cry buckets! Lefties would have an apoplexy!
That’s what I figure. Can’t remember the names of most, but I’m ecstatic they’re gonna suffer.
The liberals in Eurostan will fight to keep him from getting any acknowledgement for his work. They hate him more than GW Bush or any other republican or conservative.
