Trump Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize – And The Internet Is Freaking Out
Following what appears to be a successful first meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by two Norwegian lawmakers. Though the deadline for this year’s prize has already passed, the nomination should make Trump eligible for the price in 2019.
Fortune writes:
U.S. President Donald Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in reaching an agreement to work toward de-nuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
Nominations for the world’s most coveted prize are open to lawmakers, academics and researchers from around the world. The Nobel Committee in Oslo typically receives hundreds of nominations each year, and past candidates have also included Russian President Vladimir Putin and Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro. A record 330 people were nominated this year.

While supporters of the President are praising the nomination as evidence of Trump’s good will and desire to maintain stability and world peace on the Korean Peninsula, not everyone agrees.
Leading left-leaning web site The Huffington Post highlighted in a headline that the lawmakers who voted for trump were part of Norway’s far right:
When asked what he thinks of the Nobel Prize, Trump responded with, “The prize I want is victory for the world”:
Does Pres. Trump deserve the Nobel Prize? “Everyone thinks so, but I would never say it,” Pres. Trump says.

The Twitter-verse immediately pounced on the news with varying opinions:
Everyone doesn’t think so….his huge ego thinks so, his misguided bigoted followers think so, but not anyone who has paid attention to his racism tinged with sexism

Perhaps Trump will get the Nobel AND impeached in the same year…

That’s nice but he should reject it bc it’s basically a war criminal prize now. They gave obama one and Al Qaeda was nominated

“The Norwegian lawmakers who nominated Trump were Christian Tybring-Gjedde and Per-Willy Amundsen of the country’s right-leaning Progress Party, which advocates for limited immigration and shrinking the size of government.”

Great news but they will never give to him.

#1. Candidates are never announced ahead of time, so this is either a lie or they broke the rules by announcing.
#2. By December 2019 the NK meeting won’t even be a blip in the history books.
#3. 8 months of negotiations & approx. 300 other candidates = he doesn’t have a chance.— ☆☆☆BreThePeople☆☆☆ (@BrendaByDesign) June 13, 2018
Oh no. They did the same thing to Obama, and he turned out to be pure shit.

According to its website, the Nobel Peace Prize is given to the person “who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
