President Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize!

Foxnews.com: Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian official, citing Israel-UAE peace deal

Nomination was submitted by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament



EXCLUSIVE: Just weeks after helping to broker peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), President Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.

The nomination submitted by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, lauded Trump for his efforts toward resolving protracted conflicts worldwide.

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde, a four-term member of Parliament who also serves as chairman of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, told Fox News in an exclusive interview.

Tybring-Gjedde, in his nomination letter to the Nobel Committee, said the Trump administration has played a key role in the establishment of relations between Israel and the UAE. “As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity,” he wrote.

Also cited in the letter was the president’s “key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and … creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea.”

Tybring-Gjedde, further, praised Trump for withdrawing a large number of troops from the Middle East. “Indeed, Trump has broken a 39-year-old streak of American Presidents either starting a war or bringing the United States into an international armed conflict. The last president to avoid doing so was Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter,” he wrote.

This is not Trump’s first such nomination, as Tybring-Gjedde submitted one along with another Norwegian official in 2018 following the U.S. president’s Singapore summit with Kim Jong Un. Japan’s prime minister reportedly did the same. Trump did not win.

Tybring-Gjedde, a member of a conservative-leaning populist party in Norway, told Fox News that his latest nomination is not about trying to curry favor with the U.S. president.

“I’m not a big Trump supporter,” he said. “The committee should look at the facts and judge him on the facts – not on the way he behaves sometimes. The people who have received the Peace Prize in recent years have done much less than Donald Trump. For example, Barack Obama did nothing.”

The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to then-President Barack Obama for what the Nobel Committee called his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

That decision made just nine months into Obama’s first term was met with criticism in the U.S. – including from Donald Trump, then a private citizen. Lech Walesa, Poland’s former president and a 1983 Nobel laureate, also said at the time it was too early to bestow the award on Obama -- just 263 days after taking office: “Too fast. For the time being Obama’s just making proposals. But sometimes the Nobel Committee awards the prize to encourage responsible action.”

Even Obama was taken aback, saying at the time he was “surprised and humbled” by the Nobel Committee’s decision. “To be honest,” he said, “I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honored by this prize, men and women who’ve inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.”

Besides Obama, three other U.S. presidents have won the Nobel Peace Prize: President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 for “having negotiated peace in the Russo-Japanese war”; President Woodrow Wilson in 1920 for being the “leading architect of the League of Nations”; and President Jimmy Carter in 2002 for “his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts.”

The Nobel Peace Prize recipient is determined by a five-person Nobel Committee, which is appointed by the Norwegian Parliament. The winner of the Peace Prize for 2021 will not be announced until October of next year.


The Obama Fellators heads exploded.

No way will they allow him to get it. Furthermore, if it was awarded to him, he should refuse to accept on the grounds that Obama got it for doing absolutely nothing, so now the Nobel means nothing.

They gave it to Obama his first 60 days in office and he had not even done a thing yet...just from his presence. WTF?

Trump has made historical moves and contact with N. Korea, helped in move of capitol to Jerusalem, helped broker peace between Israel and almost half a dozen arab nations...

He has done more good for our country and others around world than two administrations before him...and maybe everyone since Ronald Reagan. In spite of hostility from the Dems and his own side....and constant attacks.

Imagine what he could get done if they accepted his Presidency like we did when Obama was elected and carry on with their lives.

Yes, the Nobel PP has become all but meaningless nowadays, but no way should Trump refuse it if he is awarded it. Sig2340 has the right idea. Make the Nobel great again.

Or he could accept it in good grace and use that opportunity to present one of his positive messages. It would be difficult for any of the BS media to ignore or distort his acceptance speech as it commonly does.

As for the significance of the Peace Prize, anyone who has paid the slightest attention over the years knows that there have been some ridiculous awards, but like so many things it’s the perception that counts, not reality. And it’s ignorance to refer to “the” Nobel. The Peace Prize is just one of many, and although there have been many controversies about the others as well the prizes are still generally highly regarded.

I would be astonished if the prize were actually awarded to the President, but think for a moment what sorts of people would be most outraged if it were.

Saw this while on the treadmill at the gym this am. I shouted out “DAMN!” And the guy next to me (about 15 feet away) looked at me and when I told him he said the same thing...

Great way to start the day!

What is never mentioned is his reducing of our military presence around the world. He's pulling troops from Iraq, S. Korea, Germany and Afghanistan to name a few. Oh, and that was another one of his campaign promises he has kept. You won't hear that in the MSM for sure.

Nice to see that it's for things that he has actually accomplished, and not just for his "vision" and what they hoped he might/could/ought to do sometime in the future (like Obama).


"Nobel secretary regrets Obama peace prize"
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34277960

quote:
Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Barack Obama in 2009 failed to achieve what the committee hoped it would, its ex-secretary has said.

Geir Lundestad told the AP news agency that the committee hoped the award would strengthen Mr Obama.

Instead, the decision was met with criticism in the US. Many argued he had not had any impact worthy of the award.

Mr Lundestad, writing in his memoir, Secretary of Peace, said even Mr Obama himself had been surprised.

"No Nobel Peace Prize ever elicited more attention than the 2009 prize to Barack Obama," Mr Lundestad writes.

"Even many of Obama's supporters believed that the prize was a mistake," he says.
