A man who relishes in chaos was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. |
We're in a pandemic because of the coronavirus. We have over 225,000 Americans dead from the coronavirus. We have over 7 million Americans who are infected with this.
We have 35 million Americans out of work. We have a struggling economy thanks to bad trade deals, the coronavirus and rollbacks of regulations.
We have civil unrest in the country. The very fabric of the country itself is being torn apart by a man who spent most of his life being a celebrity. A man who is divisive and compulsive. A man who says "We'll see what happens!" every freaking time he tries to spin a crisis.
Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize following Israel-UAE accord https://t.co/hYElcJX9j6 via @nypost— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 9, 2020
A far-right Norwegian politician by the name of Christian Tybring-Gjedde of the Progress Party put forward Trump's name, citing the one-sided Israeli-UAE deal. A deal that left out the Palestinian government out and was done by son-in-law Jared Kushner, a political novice who has no business in handling foreign affairs.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee receives hundreds of nominations each year from lawmakers, members of government and academics. Past nominees have included Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who has been fingered as a conspirer to poisoning Alexei Navalny.
Alexei Navalny was poisoned after drinking a tea. He is currently in Germany and the doctors determined he had a form of Novichok, a deadly chemical agent.
Some far-right figure in Norwegian parliament decided to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. |
Under the Abraham Accords, Israel agreed to stop building settlements and forced fencing in the West Bank. It doesn't stop it from blocking aid to the Gaza Strip. It doesn't acknowledge the war crimes that Israel had done towards Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Syria and Turkey.
The Arab League has condemned the move. Trump is expected to have world leaders at the White House for a signing.
Although the odds of Trump winning a Nobel Peace Prize are low. But who knows?
Anyway, the far-right went bonkers when Barack Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize. Let's make this clear, the difference between nomination and win. Trump is in the running. Obama won.
Obama was the third sitting U.S. president to accept the prize. Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were the previous winners of the prize.
In the words of that old far Rush Limbaugh: The ego has landed.
