Donald Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize Again

[seafoam1 3,025]

Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize after his name was put forward by a Republican congresswoman, citing the Abraham Accords the former president helped sign while in office.

New York Rep. Claudia Tenney said that Trump was "instrumental" in brokering the treaty signed in September 2020 between Israel and Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, which aimed to normalize their relations as part of an overall goal to tackle ongoing tensions in the Middle East between Arab countries and Israel. Morocco and Sudan followed suit in signing similar agreements in the following months.

"For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy 'professionals', and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false," Tenney told Fox News in a statement.

Tenney noted that the 1976 Israeli peace agreement with Egypt and the Oslo Accords in 1994 were both recognized with Nobel Peace Prizes, but so far Trump's role in the signing of the Abraham Accords had not been acknowledged.

I put little stock in such honors.

[Tree of Knowledge 1,859]

Well earned nomination.  

[Engorgeous George 2,331]

I put little stock in having an airport or an aircraft carrier named for a politician.

Someone wants a job if Trump wins.

He had a much better case than Obama did for his.

Donald knows these as the “Noble Prize”.

Not impossible. Meaningless is more like it. 

[Mike Honcho 5,281]

He can add this to his growing list of losses.

This thread made me wonder whether being nominated is itself a great honor.  I wondered whether the process was arduous.  Turns out there are thousands of folks qualified to make nominations and little else, other than submitting the name is required.  It seems to me a nomination means very little.  Over 300 folks were nominated this year.

After Obama got 1 for simply showing up, it's lost its luster.

Yep. It’s like someone tossing David Wright a HOF vote so he shows up in the article.

True. When you give it to someone simply for being black and/or to check off virtues, it's as much of an "award" as is used toilet paper.

Wow, you are incredibly ignorant on this topic. He was given the prize based on what the committee 'hoped' would happen and not what actually happened.

Obama considered not even picking it up because he knew it hadn't yet been earned.

Here, educate yourself, you'll look less stupid next time. Boyo.
