There's a real campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize to be

awarded to the moron for making peace with N. Korea. It is serious too...they were chanting it at his rally today. I guess he thinks that if Obama could get one, why can't he?

3. He knows Obama got one his first term, so he wants one (or two) for himself.

Then he'll try to pressure the Nobel selection committee to rescind President Obama's medal.

It's awarded to those who've "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

Let me know when he's successfully done any of those things.

And it's hard to imagine the Nobel prize committee choosing him.

Dotard won't get it because the people who make the choice are liberals.

If there is a Nobel prize to be given, they are the ones who had to make concessions in order to effect a peace.

10. He has a real shot at a Nobel Prize.

As long as there's a category called "Constantly Threatening to Go to War With Everyone Else in the Entire World, Except Putin and the Nazis". He's a real shoe-in for that prize.

11. "why can't he?" - because he uses TERRORISTIC THREATS, not for peace but for power, & upending

all civilized norms of governance and behavior. He's a mob cartel thug boss and his being given the Nobel would be a mockery of it.

Give it to a mass murderer and a man who has walked away from the Paris Agreement and threatens to end the Iran Deal.

Well, they did give it to War Criminal Kissinger.

I'm not concerned that they'll decide to award anything to Trump.

18. Can someone please tell me what, if anything, he did to foster peace

between NK & SK? All he did was bully Kim Jong-un. Did that really make him decide to reach out to SK? I would think not, but maybe I am wrong.
