Following what appears to be a successful first meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by two Norwegian lawmakers. Though the deadline for this year’s prize has already passed, the nomination should make Trump eligible for the prize in 2019.
Fortune writes:
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.
Nominations for the world’s 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 supporters of the President are praising the nomination as evidence of Trump’s good will and desire to maintain stability and world peace on the Korean Peninsula, not everyone agrees.
Leading left-leaning web site The Huffington Post highlighted in a headline that the lawmakers who voted for Trump were part of Norway’s far right:
When asked what he thinks of the Nobel Prize, Trump responded with, “The prize I want is victory for the world”:
Does Pres. Trump deserve the Nobel Prize? “Everyone thinks so, but I would never say it,” Pres. Trump says.

The Twitter-verse immediately pounced on the news with varying opinions:
Everyone doesn’t think so….his huge ego thinks so, his misguided bigoted followers think so, but not anyone who has paid attention to his racism tinged with sexism

Perhaps Trump will get the Nobel AND impeached in the same year…

That’s nice but he should reject it bc it’s basically a war criminal prize now. They gave obama one and Al Qaeda was nominated

“The Norwegian lawmakers who nominated Trump were Christian Tybring-Gjedde and Per-Willy Amundsen of the country’s right-leaning Progress Party, which advocates for limited immigration and shrinking the size of government.”

After Obama’s, it’s more like a participation award. Thanks for showing up.

Great news but they will never give to him. ?

#1. Candidates are never announced ahead of time, so this is either a lie or they broke the rules by announcing.
#2. By December 2019 the NK meeting won’t even be a blip in the history books.
#3. 8 months of negotiations & approx. 300 other candidates = he doesn’t have a chance.— ☆☆☆BreThePeople☆☆☆ (@BrendaByDesign) June 13, 2018
Oh no. They did the same thing to Obama, and he turned out to be pure shit.

According to its website, the Nobel Peace Prize is given to the person “who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize for accomplishing nothing except being the first black POTUS. Trump has made a treaty with someone who murdered his half-brother, uncle, and numerous other people. It is a treaty with someone you can’t trust but at least its a step for peace? Being nominated is not winning.
The noble prize is no longer a prestigious award. It is now nothing more that a prize that is found in a cereal box. That is what happens when you give it to Obama who did ABSOLUTELY nothing to deserve it ….. then jetted off to Europe to get it with Oprah in tow.
It was a participation award. Total failure is acceptable!
Its obvious that full diplomatic relations will follow requiring a US ambassador. I recommend Dennis Rodman. I’m serious.
I agree with you completely.
They completely destroyed all value in the Nobel Peace prize when they gave it to Arafat, Al Gore, and Obola. Why didn’t Reagan get one? Carter got one, for doing nothing.
Getting a Nobel prize now would be an insult. Trump should wipe his ass on it and send it back if they give him one.

The Lefties, just can’t stand the fact that Peace is Breaking out. No War means No War Profits.
But while this hand is waving peace, Trump and his war machine are slaughtering thousands over in Yemeni, Where a major shipping port was bombed on Wednesday, where humanitarian crisis is dire straits. The main culprits are Saudi Arabia and UEA United Emerites of Arabia attacking using weapons supplied by the US and the UK. The victims mostly civilians are being slaughtered.
NO Peace Prize is earned here.

good point.
Yemeni- Air and drone Bombing on Wed.
Reuters reports the following breaking updates:
•”concentrated and intense” bombing near the port itself.
•30 air strikes hit the city within half an hour.
•Houthis say they hit a coalition barge
•Port is main route to feed 8.4 million on verge of famine
•”Some civilians are entrapped, others forced from their homes.”
•Arab warplanes and warships pounded Houthi fortifications to support ground operations by foreign and Yemeni troops massed south of the port of Hodeidah in operation “Golden Victory”.
•Ground battles raged near Hodeidah airport and al-Durayhmi, a rural area 10 km (6 miles) south of the city
Though Saudi and coalition authorities have long imposed a media blackout on Yemen which has resulted in little on the ground footage of the war, some early footage of the ground assault has emerged on pro-Saudi social media
The Silent Civilian Genocide, supported by the US, UK, Saudi & UAE.
Trump wiping his ass on the peace prize would give it too much credibility.

Kevin2, I’ll have to agree on that. Rodman and Porky seem to be close enough. What could possible go wrong? [SARCASM]
Three days ago I would have said that is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, K2. But, today, after hearing Rodman’s interviews, I’d sign that petition. He’s not an idiot and I think he knows whats going on. Anybody in his position that will support Trump with a MAGA hat and give thoughtful answers to asshole interviewers gets my vote. Dennis Rodman for NK Ambassador!
The liberal democrats would shit themselves too. Actually I see less going wrong with Rodman who has zero political aspirations than a career diplomat.
Liberals are still freaking out that Rodman and Kanye West have gone off the plantation and went over tot the Republicans.
I think its more accurate to say that they went over to Trump supporters.
Barry Sotero, or Mr.Obama, or whatever his real name is, got the Nobel Peace Prize just for showing up, and having done nothing.
I’m not a huge fan of President Trump, but he has actually had the spine to do something to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
What is really shocking is he did all this in about 1 year where for the last 50 years there has been zero progress.
I too agree that Rodman would make a great ambassador to NK – he has proven to be very passionate and articulate when interviewed especially in the face of the CNN interview with the nasty Cuomo
Funny yes, but that’s how far this God-forsaken nation has fallen.
I lost respect for that coveted award when it was given to Barry. Give that mo’fo an award dispite the race war that they were attempting to instigate. Not to mention perpetual wars, gun running, aiding and abetting enemies, etc, etc….
that pretty much says it all.
Giving arms and ammo to ISIS and letting Iraq fall to shit under ISIS (the JV league) terrorists…..
At least Trump is trying to settle the affair PEACEFULLY. I’ll give him a lot of Es for effort. It all still remains to be seen. I know damn good and well the Deep State is freaking out. Look for at least an ATTEMPTED false-flag somewhere and it getting blamed on NK.
WHAT i WANT IS FOR THE SNOWFLAKES TO HAVE A HEAD EXPLOSION. And so far the DON is doing well in that part.
What a bunch of ignorant sheep they are! So The Kenyan does absolutely NOTHING and get the Nobel Peace Prize and everybody thinks its great.
Trump works his ass off, takes risks, is a leader, and they have a fit? What a bunch of brainwashed sheep.
Sorry, Mac, gotta say it:
Fuck them and the shitty, smell donkey they rode in on! They are small, insignificant brainwashed morons.
LGBT: Leftist Globalist Bolshevik Traitors
Leftists: ’cause they are.
Globalists: ’cause they are.
Bolshevik: Because, like the Bolsheviks, they’re trying to use a tiny minority to rule the rest of the population.
Traitors: Not just to the USA but to Humanity.
If Oprah can get away with thinking and saying all the old white men (That built virtually EVERYTHING that made her rich) should just die and people think its OK, then I can think that all the LeftistGlobalistBolshevikTraitors just need to shut their lying mouths and hold their noses with all the results that would entail. It would be a massive suffocation of evil, lies, greed and suffering and keep it from the rest of us.
Far right is anyone whose not an open Communist genocidal maniac or suicidal moron. Trump deserves a medal for putting up with a whole lot of bs from a whole lot of red fed retards. As for the newspapers like the huff post. They are owned by the usual suspects, so who cares what garbage they print. Only fools follow the Huffington Post.

President Trump is a Master Strategist, and for that alone, he deserves to be nominated.
Mr. Obama was a Master Destroyer, and for that, he should be investigated for treason, and at least, have his prize reclaimed/revoked.
– the Lone Ranger
Obama should be executed by firing squad.
As a President Obama is just typical, certainly in light of the falsehoods justifying Iraq he is actually less damaging than GW Bush 41. Without his huge support throughout his life GW Bush, standing alone would likely be a bar fly.
totally agree
Trump in the private sector became a billionaire. I theorize that Obama would be a smooth talking two bit street hustler con man. I think of Eddy Murphy in Trading Places.
if Kim follows through on his promise then he should get the prize. All trump did was give him the option of a better way or death. It was his choice. It’s not a hard choice to make when your surrounded by ships tanks and bombers. Strong arm diplomacy is the only way.
Trump could create global peace, booming economies, eradicate hunger and disease…in short the golden age worldwide for all people and the usual cadre would still be up in arms or have exploding heads.
Being human, Trump is not perfect but many have forgotten what statesmanship is all about. And it’s not about being a toady to whomever is paying your freight. Most politicians owe someone something so whatever they promise to get voted in is left behind after election day. Statesmanship is about the wisdom and skill of managing the public good.
It would be awesome to see Trump get the prize just to see the left have a massive stroke.
If President Trump recieves The Nobel Peace Prize, it would bring back honor to the Prize. Now if we could just bring back honor to the far left.
When Trump refused to meet the NK leader the news papers were all over Trump for not wanting peace and going to cause WW3 and when he did successfully meet the NK leader it is all about he does not know what he is doing and NK got what he wanted.
Obama Iran deal did nothing and Iran has successfully tested their weapons in NK. Obama got a peace prize and was hailed as a hero. These demoncrap supporters are nuts!

Check out this article clear proof of liberal agenda @mac
Trump is a man of action and real results
Obama was a fake and his peace prize was in a cracker Jack Box
If offered I hope Trump tess them to stick it
Who cares?
The Nobel Award is 100% meaningless after they gave it away to that fraud Obama for being a token black guy and before being president when he was just a community organizer.
They awarded it to a street pimp. Why would Trump want that tarnished piece of shit medal after that?
It should be of concern, to patriotic people, that the names of laureates can often be cross referenced with accusations of terrorism, or have made MVP-level contributions to some notorious war, in the tradition of Alfred Nobel.
As best I can tell, it would not have been purchased with money.
Stop giving the Nobel Peace Prize to political leaders. Instead, give them to people who make scientific breakthroughs in reducing the cost of alternative energy or reducing the cost of converting sea water to fresh. The conflicts in the world are tied to gas & oil and fresh water. Supplies of minerals are also a factor.
