http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/donald-trump-nominated-for-nobel-peace-prize-for-vigorous-peace-through-strength-ideology-a6850636.html Can. You. Even. That award officially means nothing now. Vigorous peace through racism, sexism and general hatefulness. |

Apparently it was just one nomination, from an anonymous US politician. Doesn't exactly call the award into question since he almost definitely will not win (probably won't even get remotely close), but it does call into question the nomination process. |

Calm down Steve. "He also a claimed to have seen a letter submitted by an unidentified US nominator who proposed Trump for 'his vigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, Isis, nuclear Iran and Communist China'. He did not list Trump as one of the candidates who actually has a chance of winning. Thousands of people are eligible to submit nominations for the Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel committee typically receives more than 200 nominations, according to the Associated Press." Bolded emphasis is mine. In other words, this is click bait, means nothing, and you fell foot it hook, line, and sinker. It's not a very discriminating process of who gets nominated. You got to read more closely than the title Steve, it's a title meant to engage you, before it turns out to be something pitifully mundane. Like a headline of "I MARRIED AN ALIEN!" Which ends up talking about some American marrying a guy from Europe. This is pretty much that. Edited by Tinny, Feb 3 2016, 04:13 PM.

Read the article before you codemn the peace prize. He's been nominated among 200 other nominees, doesn't mean he's gonna win or even be among the final nominees. But yeah, Tin Man pretty much covered it. Edited by Emmeth, Feb 3 2016, 03:43 PM.

That he could even slightly be considered is a problem though, I know he wouldn't actually win it. Best guess is someone thought it was April. |

He's not considered by the committee. I'm willing to bet that things like this happens every year. Heck, Josef Stalin and Vladimir Putin has been "nominated" before aswell. Quick Google search: http://nobelpeaceprize.org/en_gb/about_peaceprize/facts/
So there you go. Donald Trump isn't even a dictator and will never be. Edited by Emmeth, Feb 3 2016, 06:45 PM.

Like I said, he was nominated by an anonymous US politician who was most likely someone with close links to Trump. The real problem here is anonymity. If you make a stupid nomination, people should know who it was. |
