A Norwegian lawmaker has said that he has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in the Middle East.
Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament for the far-right Progress Party, said Trump should be considered because of his work “for a peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel which opens up for possible peace in the Middle East.”
Liberals are FURIOUS over this new Trump gift to supporters!
Last month with the agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, there was a historic deal that normalized relations and will be signed at a White House ceremony on September 15, 2020.
“No matter how Trump acts at home and what he says at press conferences, he has absolutely a chance at getting the Nobel Peace Prize,” Tybring-Gjedde told The Associated Press.
He said he nominated Trump on Wednesday for the 2021 prize, adding that “Donald Trump meets the criteria.”
If you remember, President Barack Obama was given the prize in 2009 only a few months into his first term. Many feel that this was undeserved. The Norwegian committee had said it honored Obama for his commitment to “seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.”
Although in my opinion, President Obama did more harm than good to America.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee doesn’t publicly comment on the nominees. According to its rules, the information is required to be kept a secret for 50 years.
“It is now to hope that the Nobel Committee is able to consider what Trump has achieved internationally and that it does not stumble in established prejudice against the U.S. President,” Tybring-Gjedde said in a Facebook post.
However, he said he doesn’t agree with all of Trump’s policies.
“I am not a big Trump supporter,” he said.
Well, that’s fine. You don’t have to be a supporter of someone in order to acknowledge the great things that they have accomplished.
