Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize following Israel-UAE accord

Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize following Israel-UAE accord

President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, according to a report.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament and chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, submitted the nomination, Fox News reported.

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde told Fox News.

In his letter to the Nobel Committee, Tybring-Gjedde wrote that the Trump administration has played a key role in the establishment of relations between the two nations.

I remember the same news a year or 2 back. He clearly lost that year.

I will be speechless if/when he wins which I really don't think will happen.

This guy, who is far right-wing, nominated him in 2018 when he met with Kim.

This loser was nominated by a fellow right-wing, immigrant-hating, Putin-loving fascist who has nominated him not just once, but twice! Once back in 2018 and again now in 2020. It is a vote for hate disguised as a plea for peace.

Watch this guy become a member of Trump's very short lived campaign team.

So it's something more than just some right wing rando like that time Limbaugh was nominated.

There's serious coordination going on here.

Not saying they'll get what they want of course, but it's not to be shrugged off.
