President Donald Trump complained at a Pennsylvania campaign rally Saturday night that the fake news completely skipped reporting his two Nobel Peace Prizes.
Trump has no Nobel Peace Prizes.
He was nominated this year for a 2021 prize.
On Saturday, Trump grumbled that there wasnt a word in the fake news about his Nobel recognition.
Somebody had a show where they said the amount of time devoted to Donald Trumps Nobel Peace Prize two of em [was] zero on the networks, zero, he emphasized. It is so disgraceful. Theyre so bad.
Earlier in his speech, Trump did refer to his Nobel Prize nomination. He said he was so disappointed as he sat with first lady Melania Trump in front of the TV that news reports failed to mention his nomination and instead focused on weather. That weather in early September happened to be the beginning of Hurricane Sally. He then falsely claimed he was nominated for another peace prize the very next day.

Trump was also nominated in 2017 and 2018 for his ideology of peace through force strategy a very Trumpian kind of concept. Those recommendations were believed to have been made by the same mysterious American who assumed the identity of a qualified nominator both times, according to an official of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. He refused to reveal the identity of the American whom committee members suspect.
