President Donald Trump Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize

Believe it or not, a lot of people actually like Donald Trump. They say he does amazing things to change the world, behind closed doors.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — (AP) — An anti-immigrant Norwegian lawmaker said Wednesday that he has nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in the Middle East.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian parliament for the populist Progress Party, said Trump should be considered because of his work “for a peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel which opens up for possible peace in the Middle East.”

Israel and the United Arab Emirates agreed last month to a historic deal normalizing relations and are scheduled to sign it at the White House on Sept. 15.

“No matter how Trump acts at home and what he says at press conferences, he has absolutely a chance at getting the Nobel Peace Prize,” Tybring-Gjedde, told The Associated Press.

He said he nominated Trump on Wednesday for the 2021 prize, adding that “Donald Trump meets the criteria.”

On Wednesday, Trump vigorously promoted the news that he had been nominated for the prize, tweeting at least 17 times in less than a half-hour about his candidacy for the prestigious commendation. 🤣

Trump’s aids argued that he was overdue for a Nobel Peace Prize.

In an interview with Fox News, Tybring-Gjedde argued that Trump had “broken a 39-year-old streak of American presidents either starting a war or bringing the United States into an international armed conflict,” adding that the “last president to avoid doing so was Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter.”

So that’s that. I can just hear someone in the comments saying “The world has gone to hell in a hand basket.” 🤷🏼‍♀️
