as it's been indicated that the nominations themselves were false?

Waiting for a reporter to ask trump if he knew about the murder plot before it happened because I suspect he and Jared did know. And he wants a Nobel Peace prize?

(4,789 posts)So, Trump being 'nominated' isn't very significant in and of itself.
The deadline for the nominations for any one year is the end of the previous February. So the events he's touting (i.e. Israel-Bahrain-UAE agreements) wouldn't count for this year's prize.
But even if he wasn't an all-around a-hole, and was actually involved in the outcome, it would still be a stretch. When they give out the award in recognition of the end of a major geo-political conflict, historically, they've award the representatives of the belligerents (so-to-speak). They usually don't give the award to the person who brokered/facilitated the agreement. They didn't give Carter the prize for the Camp David Accords, and they didn't give Clinton or George Mitchell the prize for Good Friday agreement, even though it's acknowledged that they were instrumental to the outcome.
So FA45 is SOL on this.
