Trump missed his opportunity for a Nobel Peace prize. IMO.

Keeping Israel from destroying Gaza might have gotten him the prize.

It will have been bought, negotiated and cheapened. It won’t be an honor freely bestowed.

Like all things Trump.

The committee would have to be thoroughly rotten to the core and corrupted. I NEVER see that happening.

He can posture all he wants...he ain't getting anything with Nobel on it. They see through all the BS and they will ignore the chatter. He does things with the only goal of winning a title. Not an ounce of alturism in him.

Trump and his minions only want this to best Obama (who won it) and prove to the world that even Trump's "talents" (yuck) can't be ignored.

Donald Trump was never, ever going to get a Nobel Prize.

Pretty sure the prize committee rightfully sees him as a joke.
