I'd love to see World Central Kitchen or Doctors Without Borders get it. Trump is reported to have gone so far as to call up Jens Stoltenberg, Norway's finance minister (and former NATO head) to pester him about it (the Norwegian government has nothing to do with the deciding on the award, but Trump probably doesn't know or care). That's just embarrassing.

If he doesn't win, Norway, better be prepared for a military invasion. Sweden too since that's where Nobel was from. BamaRefugee Sep 2025 #29
