Once again, President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. But, don’t get excited because he won’t win. Also nominated this year is Black Lives Matter and Stacey Abrams. The Nobel Peace Prize had been a farce for years. Barack Obama won one and even the person who nominated him said later he didn’t deserve it. Trump is the first president in thirty years not to start a war.
Black Lives Matter rioted their way to a $2 billion dollars worth of burned out buildings. What the hell do they have to do with peace? For that matter what does Stacey Abrams have to do with peace? President Trump has legitimate credentials for the peace deals he made between the UAE and Israel. He was nominated by an Estonian member of the European Parliament, Jaak Madison.
Madison said:
“In the last 30 years, Donald Trump is the first president of the United States, who during his tenure, has not started a war. Additionally, he signed several peace agreements in the Middle East which have helped provide stability in the region and peace.”
According to a statement on the State Department’s website:
“We encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to advance a culture of peace among the three Abrahamic religions and all humanity. We believe that the best way to address challenges is through cooperation and dialogue and that developing friendly relations among States advances the interests of lasting peace in the Middle East and around the world.”
Trump was nominated last year by Norwegian Parliament member Christian Tybring-Gjedde. “For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees.” Certainly more than BLM or Stacey Abrams.
Separately, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz nominated Trump’s son-in-law and former presidential advisor Jared Kushner on Monday morning. Dershowitz—who is eligible to nominate individuals because of his status as a former Harvard Law professor—argued that Kushner and his associate Avi Berkowitz helped negotiate the Abraham Accords.
“The Nobel Peace Prize is not for popularity. Nor is it an assessment of what the international community may think of those who helped bring about peace,” Dershowitz wrote. “It is an award for fulfilling the daunting criteria set out by Alfred Nobel in his will.”
Under the diplomatic push, Trump’s administration also negotiated deals with Sudan and Morocco.
