Jesus, they’re just giving those things out to anyone now.

His name has been put forward by Norwegian politician Christian Tybring-Gjedde, according to Fox News. (so take with a grain of salt here)

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Mr Tybring-Gjedde said.

A White House official announced Mr Trump will hold a signing ceremony on 15 September for a groundbreaking Middle East agreement normalizing relations between Israel and the UAE.

As part of the deal, announced at the White House on 13 August following what officials said were 18 months of talks, the Gulf state agreed to normal relations with Israel, while Israel agreed to continue with plans to suspend its annexation of the West Bank.

In 2020, there were 318 candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize. Submissions must be made online and all nominees are discussed before a shortlist of the most worthy and interesting is drawn up.

(Note Worthy)

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

I would like to point out that Russia had a huge part in seeing a world without Nuclear weapons and they in fact give up thousands of Nukes, but no Russia official was nominated or giving this award.

Mr Tybring-Gjedde’s letter to the Nobel Committee praised the US president’s role in improving relations between the Middle Eastern 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.”

Note worthy

This is not the first time Mr Tybring nominated President Trump for the award in did so in 2008 for the peace summit with North Korea.

Now some might point out this seems kind of Kiss ass from Mr Tybring. Is he trying to get into Trumps good boys, will we see a Trump tower erected soon in district sometime soon.

Maybe so.

But the nominations has merit. Mr Tybring did say. “not a big supporter of Trump” but added that other people have won the prize for doing much less.

And he is right, as i stated before, Obama did receive Prize, and he was only Nine months in the office.

Thanks for reading.
