What have his politics got to do with it when he doesn't decide who gets the award?

In short, he is not "Norway"!

[wabothai]

Never heard of the guy.

Reading up on him on wikipedia makes abundantly clear his nomination of 45.

He has been spit out by most Norwegians.

Fodder for Trump haters to vent their venom!

I know it's can be hard to understand, but Norway, as a country, had nothing to do with it. A right wing politician from Norway nominated him. Not quite the same thing.

Well, there's that. But Obama's case kinda shoots this argument out of the water.

Crazy days we live in. Who could have imagined a President that ends all the ridiculous wars of his predecessors and bring the troops home to safety would be called a fascist and dictator? And be told from Bernie Sanders that "the Planet" itself is in danger if this man of peace wins his 2nd term? Seeing as Trump hates the losers and suckers in the military you would think he would leave them out in Iraq to be blown up? Why would he care so much about them he wants them back home with their families? Something is wrong somewhere in the official narrative.

 I for one am grateful. No wars is good. No death on the battlefield - yes that is good too. I don't care if he is orange.

 

Trump did not "end all the ridiculous wars oh his predecessors", nor did he "bring the troops home to safety".

 

There are USA troops deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and the Gulf, all ongoing conflicts, all unresolved. Some of the troops previously reported as pulled out were simply rotated and stationed elsewhere abroad.

 

That you try to market Trump as caring is cute. Here's an alternative, and more believable narrative - the Iraqi government was pressing for troop reduction, and it also good optics for Trump in the upcoming elections.

He is elite but at least he is shaking things up which is more than can be said for the rest of them.  The Sioux used to judge a man by those who were his enemies and not his friends.  Trump has a lot of enemies in Washington.

Pulling your troops out of a country that you have "invaded" is hardly merit for a Nobel peace prize.

Trump is well overdue for his outstanding work to bring peace to the ME. 

Good job, Norway! ????

I thought he was nominated primarily for fixing the Israel problem. Another "magic wand" moment. Although no doubt his hobbling the CCP, his Herculean efforts on the Korean peninsula, his wiping out of ISIS (or Deash as we were supposed to call them under 44 who refused to even look at the problem), bringing peace wherever he looks, the list goes on and on. Trump really got stuff done on the world stage, and none of it was by invading sovereign nations willy-nilly. It has been a very impressive 1st term.

trump has not fixed 'the Israeli problem', more accurately 'the Palestinian problem', nor has the US military 'wiped out' ISIS. BTW Obama, in conjunction with the military, set the strategy to re-occupy territory occupied by ISIS, though it is acknowledged by some, trump sped up the process by commanders being able to make more rapid on the ground tactical decisions. As to the rest more sycophant nonsense.

I promiss you, this is not a nomination based on the Norwegian opinion About the president. I will guess 2% adores him, and the rest cant believe he became a president. 

[TKDfella]

Actually, I don't think any President, PM etc. (past or present) should be nominated...it's their job to help their people (whether they do that or not is a different question), help to keep the peace domestic and world wide. The Nobel Peace Prize is one that I think should be reserved only for those who do so voluntary and spend much of their lives doing so. Maybe there isn't any of those around these days.

As a Norwegian, 100% agree!

And if Trump doesn't win the Nobel Prize, would he then be a Loser?

"This whole Nobel thing is bigly rigged by a liberal witch hunter from the FBI!"

You thought wrong. Trump didn't "fix" the "Israeli problem". It's an agreement normalizing existing unofficial relations between two countries who weren't at war and aren't even neighbors.

 

Trump did not wipe out ISIS. Certainly not personally. Not with them bone spurs. Much of the heavy fighting heavy lifting was during Obama's term, and that's when the strategy and infrastructure facilitating operations were put in place. Daesh, by the way, is more of an insult, as opposed to the ISIS moniker. That you claim Obama "refused to even look at the problem" is false. And regardless of your Trump adulation, ISIS remains an issue, with standing warnings about possible resurgence.

 

I get it you're here for other purposes than discussing issues.

He is the most divisive president ever.

Think this states it clearly enough, "Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of parliament for the right-wing Progress Party".

Is this not enough to evaluate these 'noble prizes'?

Anyways, Norwegians have proved many times their 'superior' judgements!

 

Please do not judge all Norwegians on the basis of, "Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of parliament for the right-wing Progress Party". I guess I am sensitive to this because I certainly do not want to be judged on the basis of The Donald occupying the White House.

[Bender Rodriguez]

at least he did not start new trillion dollar wars somewhere FAR FAR away the usa where many soldiers were lied to, to go die to fight an enemy that had NOTHING to do with the 9/11 attacks

But you were commenting on winning. You claimed you were not, I said you were, the quotes proof you were. End of this nonsense with you 

Yes, show me the quote were I said he should or shouldn't win. "End this nonsense", to quote you, if you can't.

[Lacessit]

There is a certain logic to the nomination, Trump has reduced military commitments in foreign countries. Against that, the USA is on the brink of civil war under his leadership.

I'm just trying to imagine how insufferable he would become if he actually won. It would be like throwing gasoline on a fire.

Aw, you are going to make me cry if you keep bleeting on like that. We all know you are trolling out of a bunker in Russia. And by the way, what about those bounties on the heads of the soldiers in Afghanistan? But then, to Trump all soldiers are suckers and losers.

[teatree]

If Obama can get the peace and then proceed to drop more bombs than Bush, why not Trump?

[Srikcir]

Trump should be nominated for a RIP Peace award.

Rest In Peace to the over 150,000 American that died because of his decision to conceal the danger of Covid 19 from the nation.

If the USA were instead a 'banana republic, Trump might instead be accused for crimes against humanity.

I agree, but the discussion was about Riclag writing "Thanks Norway", Chomper replying "It wasn’t a gift from Norway", and then you replied.

So I recalled that he wasn't "Norway", just an individual.

The fact that the guy is an extreme-right pro-Putin lawmaker only adds more flavour to the story.
