Nobel Committee Member Has Some Really Bad News for Trumps Relentless Prize Push

Donald Trumps open pining for a Nobel Peace Prize may actually damage the presidents chances of ever being awarded the prestigious honor and the $1 million that comes with it.
While not mentioning the president by name, Asle Toje, deputy leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, said that influence campaigns are more likely to have a negative effect than a positive one when the panel decides who gets the annual award.
Some candidates push for it really hard and we do not like it, Toje told Reuters. We are used to work in a locked room without being attempted to be influenced. It is hard enough as it is to reach an agreement among ourselves, without having more people trying to influence us.

(10,881 posts)I know how you can win a Nobel peace prize, make an executive order banning assault weapons for civilians. We have that war you can possibly end, forget about the 7 youre lying about ending.

(7,255 posts)The award itself should never be the main aim of any peacemaker.
But Trump won't be happy, he can name a number of peace achievements!
- brought peace and harmony across the land of the US. So much peace, the troops have nothing to do but pick up litter.
- stopped the war between Gondwanaland and Eurasia, a war that has been going on for millennia and was literally tearing the world apart.
- stopped the war between North Eastphalia and South Eastphalia.
- currently working on stopping the wars between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel at war with everybody not Israeli.
So credit to Trump, give him that peace prize, ok?
(If only just to shut him up about it.)
Perhaps the committee could make up a special Junior award, engraved 'Nice try, but could do better!' and offer that for sale to Trump as a minimal cost, say US $10B?

(2,826 posts)Who refused the Nobel Peace Prize because fighting in Vietnam hadnt stopped yet.
Then you have this nitwit who publicly lobbies for one when he hasnt ended the wars he said he would.
Whatever you feel about past Nobel laureates, nobody, to the best of my knowledge, publicly lobbied for one.
And that speaks volumes.

(2,693 posts)Of course he doesn't get it, so he and his lackeys have another grievance to bitch and moan about.
FucksNews can spin this out as the next great outrage and (somehow) turn it into an indictment accusing
NATO, the UN, Zelensky, NATO, Democrats, Biden, NATO... rinse and repeat.
