Anti-Immigrant [Far Right] Norwegian Lawmaker Nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, an anti-immigration member of the Norwegian parliament.

Tybring-Gjedde, who is a notorious anti-immigration hardliner who has made a series of inflammatory statements on the subject, explained his nomination to Fox News in an interview:

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.

Emphasis mine for lolz

The stench of the far right pervades everywhere at the moment. Nominating is one thing, not sure the committee will see Trump as a virtuous lover and promoter of world peace somehow, cause us is the exact opposite of this. I mean if you are going to nominate the arsehole at least do it with something that could be perceived as plausible, not the fuck up that is the middle east 'peace deal'.

What a stupid thing. Trump has demonstrably done nothing but fuck things up. Especially in the Middle East. This just puts a spotlight and a reminder on his failings. Way to go.
