It's safe to say I mine for facts always. Why do you view the fact that a neo-Nazi symapathizer nominated Trump for the Peace Prize as a negative?


In his nomination letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, Tybring-Gjedde, a four-term MP who also serves as chairman of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly,claimed the Trump administration had played a pivotal role in peace talks between the two nations.

“As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity,” he wrote.

He maybe a right winger like president Trump and myself, but where is the sin in wanting and supporting the process of peace?

Yes it is safe to say you wish to diminish the positivity of peaceful developments associated with President Trump, by denigrating the individual and the source of the nomination. In fact, the fact of the greater good is associated with peace in the Middle East, which you did avoid speaking about.

There is nothing bad about any of this other than the obvious bias you have demonstrated.

Well Obama got one for his thoughts, his HOPE and he never had to do anything so why can't Trump be nominated for actually doing something?



I always wondered who was snubbed, the people that had worked so hard to achieve a goal, when Obama was handed his Prize as some type of affirmative action or reparation? Since everything hinges on the colour of someones skin these days I wonder if the Peace Prize panel suffers from "white guilt" ?





It would be amazing if Trump won. It would show that not everyone is caught up with the TDS.

Because he accomplished nothing with North Korea other than letting NK enjoy some time in the spotlight. Which he should’ve never done.

The Israel - UAE pact is pointless. Those countries haven’t fought. Israel would wipe out the UAE before breakfast if the did.

Well we had one President get it just because he was there. He did nothing at all to earn it. Not saying that Trump did either, but at theist he didn't involve us in conflicts I at least 3 differentiations t countries that had nothing too do with the USA.

I wouldn't nominate trump to win an eagle scout award, but the Nobel peace prize benchmark is pretty low if they gave Obama one for doing not a thing.

What amazed me is left wing commentators like Fareed Zakaria, were pissed off about the peace agreement because we didn't demand anything of Isreal for the Palestinians, in exchange for the deal.

The Palestinians have nothing to do with this. If an Arab country is willing to sign a peace agreement with Israel, that's great! The more countries in the region, the better! Why make any demands at all? Just let the two parties sign it.

If Obama could get the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing, then surely Trump can get the Nobel Peace Prize for actually doing something.

I suppose.
