2. If Trump were to get the Nobel Peace Prize it would become meaningless.

3. It won't happen

This is batshit crazy

6. Not gonna happen.

The award to Henry Kissinger in 1973 was so controversial and ultimately so embarrassing for the Nobel Committee that it's unlikely they'll make a similar mistake again. It was awarded jointly to Kissinger and Lê Đức Thọ for "having negotiated a cease fire in Vietnam in 1973." Thọ declined the prize, and Kissinger later tried to return it, but the committee declined his offer. "In Norway, the Nobel Committee was subject to widespread criticism, with the Norwegian Arbeiderbladet newspaper calling the award a "bad joke" and stating, "The Norwegian Nobel Committee has disgraced itself". In a joint letter to the Norwegian Parliament, multiple Harvard professors wrote that awarding Kissinger and Thọ was "more than a person with a normal sense of justice can take". For only the second time in history, Norwegian Nobel Committee members resigned as a result of the decision." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Nobel_Peace_Prize

Awarding the prize to Trump would be exponentially worse, and I'm sure the committee knows it.

4. I just came to DU to ask if anyone else was watching the unhinged rambling certifiably insane megalomaniac.

It is too absurd and sickening to even describe.

I torture myself, because I don't want to take my eyes off what they are up to next.

Need some Pepto.

5. I told hubby earlier

That all he asked of Netanyahu was a cease fire until after the NPP was awarded. Then trump will turn a blind eye to the total destruction of Gaza.

11. From what I read it has already been selected for this year

so not until 2026

[Ocelot II]

12. The nomination deadline was in January, and the announcement will be made on Oct. 10.

It's quite likely that they've already decided. I don't know who it will be but I do know who it won't be.

14. MaddowBlog-European leaders caught mocking Trump after a false claim about ending a war

As a video catches foreign leaders laughing at one of the American president's mistakes, this was not an isolated incident.

As a video catches foreign leaders laughing at one of Trump’s mistakes, remember: This wasn’t the first time officials abroad used the Republican president as a punchline.

For all of his talk about global “respect,” he’s routinely seen as a joke. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The reality, of course, is that Trump has wildly exaggerated his record, taking credit for resolving conflicts he had little to do with, and even pointing to wars that haven’t actually been resolved. What’s more, in a couple of instances, the Republican president has slipped up and pointed to wars that never happened in the first place, including an imaginary conflict between Cambodia and Armenia, as well as a recent boast on Fox News in which he said, “I solved wars that was unsolvable,” pointing to a conflict between Azerbaijan and Albania.”....

The mistake did not go unnoticed among the leaders of the relevant nations. Politico reported:

U.S. President Donald Trump’s geographic confusion was the butt of a joke between world leaders at a summit Thursday. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama was filmed poking fun with French President Emmanuel Macron and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev at the European Political Community meeting in Copenhagen on Thursday.

“You should make an apology ... to us because you didn’t congratulate us on the peace deal that President Trump made between Albania and Azerbaijan,” Rama told Macron, as Aliyev was seen laughing.

Playing along, the French president replied: “I am sorry for that.”

Albanian PM Edi Rama mocked Trump to Macron: “You should congratulate Ilham Aliyev and me. Trump has ended the conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan”

Earlier Trump claimed he ended a war between Albania and Azerbaijan. It was a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

.....In 2019, for example, Macron, then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson were recorded at a Buckingham Palace reception, apparently mocking their American counterpart. A year earlier, during remarks at the U.N. General Assembly, Trump bragged about how impressed he is with himself, at which point some of the diplomats in the room started audibly laughing........

For all of Trump’s boasts about how he has singlehandedly improved international respect for the United States, the evidence suggests many of his global counterparts see him as a punchline.

15. He earned that all by himself
