COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A far-right Norwegian lawmaker said Wednesday that he has nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in the Middle East.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament for the far-right Progress Party, said Trump should be considered because of his work “for a peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel which opens up for possible peace in the Middle East.”

“No matter how Trump acts at home and what he says at press conferences,..."

Well, his words and behavior here haven't created any peace in our country. Quite the contrary.

1. I'm sure the Nobel Committee will be all over that.

[NCjack]

2. Trump spent so much money on personal aggrandizements that he is now

short on campaign funds.

[Layzeebeaver]

24. So he could definitely use that prize money!

But he doesn’t even deserve a publishers clearing house payment.

3. Oh, barf! n/t

[onetexan]

7. my visceral reaction precisely!! Gag!

[LiberalFighter]

4. I wonder if Norwegians will reconsider his election next time?

[Siwsan]

5. I wonder how much of the campaign fund went for that 'expense'.

Just a theory, mind you.

[James48]

6. I wonder

How many US tax dollars went into the pocket of a 3rd rate Swedish politician.

[raging moderate]

8. ????

[cry baby]

9. We are through the looking glass, officially. nt

[BlueWavePsych]

29. Yup!

[turbinetree]

10. How much did the Russians pay him..................

[dalton99a]

11. Mussolini was nominated in 1935, Hitler in 1939, Stalin in 1945 and 1948

etc.

[Sherman A1]

12. Pardon me for a moment

[Javaman]

13. yeah, nominated by a closeted nazi. yeah great endorcement.

but psychopath narcissist nub orange asshole thinks it's just fine.

[CrispyQ]

14. The boastful chortling will be nauseating. -nt

[Kris Mac]

15. One racist nominating another racist no surprises here..

He was nominated by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a Norwegian far-right politician, anti-immigration activist, Islamophobe and climate change denier. He currently represents the anti-immigrant party Fremskrittspartiet, a member of the Norwegian parliament, and is arguably the most extreme MP.

16. PUKE!

[BlueMTexpat]

17. SHAMEFUL!

[BlueIdaho]

18. Consider the source...

Them racist, fascist, thugs gotta stick together.

[Escurumbele]

19. Just read about the guy who nominated him, another wacko

birds of feather flock together

[2naSalit]

20. There's one in every crowd. ...nt

[TomVilmer]

21. Lots of people can nominate for this...

... to be nominated is not such a big deal, since 1000s of professors and parliamentarians can do this. Last time about 315 were nominated. I actually got The Nobel Peace Prize myself a couple of times - as a member of the groups who got it. Even all of the European Union got it once, which is why there are much debate if the prize is given to the right causes.

[Journeyman]

22. I hope he waited for the check to clear before he made this move . . .

[LudwigPastorius]

23. Tybring-Gjedde is a an anti-Islamic xenophobe.

...and probably a Russian asset, just like Trump.

He believes, for example, that the West should recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea as legitimate, and that Putin should not be condemned for engaging in a covert war in Ukraine.

25. White supremacist

[generalbetrayus]

26. If Benedict Donald wins the Nobel Peace Prize,

he should at least receive the special Henry Kissinger edition of the award.

27. Carter negotiated peace between Israel and Egypt.

Begin and Sadat won the Peace Prize, but Carter didn't. They were still in a state of war (cold, but still...). I don't think Israel and the UAE have ever traded blows so this treaty, while welcome, doesn't really change much in the Middle East.

28. Oh good! He can hang that in his cell. In prison.
