Remarkable news emerged on Wednesday: Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

This sounds extraordinary. After all, since declaring his presidential candidacy in June 2015, Trump has insulted a war hero, Latinos, a disabled reporter, and a popular Fox News anchor, and even once likened another Republican presidential candidate to a child molester.

But a nomination and a prize are not the same. The Nobel committees invite thousands of people every year to nominate peace prize recipients. Hundreds of candidates normally reach the desk of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and previous nominees have included Russian President Vladimir Putin, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, and U2 singer Bono.

Trump's nomination letter said he should win the prize because of "his vigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, ISIS, nuclear Iran and Communist China," a Nobel watcher told French media.

It's unclear who nominated Trump, the billionaire real estate mogul turned Republican presidential candidate, or what they could have possibly been thinking.

Trump has prompted international outrage by calling for a ban on all Muslims entering the US and by saying the Mexican government is sending America "criminals, drug dealers, rapists, etc."

Then again, Trump has promised to "beat the shit out of" the Islamic State if elected president — so maybe there's more truth to the nomination than we first thought.

Hilldawg, Bernie David, Cruz Missile, where your Nobel Peace Prize nominations at?

[Velocirap31]

The integrity of that award is at its lowest since Obama.

[Im Still Ballin]

Trump.

[Wiltside]

Peace via "threat weapon" :biggums:

[Long Duck Dong]

In all fairness anyone can he nominated the article says. It's odd that it states Stalin was once nominated but says nothing about Hitler.

[Akrazotile]

Peace via "threat weapon" :biggums:

Actually the threat of force is the only thing that ensures peace in any civilization.

Sure, but it is strange to give somebody an award for fear mongering and threats.

Resolving a war peacefully could be worth a peace award, but resolving a war by bombing the other side to oblivion should not be worth a peace award even if the war ended because of it.

[NumberSix]

After the Obama embarrassment, they need to make Nobel great again.

What did he do? DOn't they need to at least state what you did?

That's a fallacy. Look up John Nash

If they can give a Peace Prize to Arafat and Obama, then giving it to Trump would actually be a step in the right direction.

tbh it was very deserving.
The man just didn't want to get into a war and tried to avoid it every imaginable way.

[Wiltside]

I skimmed some info, but didn't see whatever part you are referring to. If he made a bomb and got a peace prize for it, then I don't agree with the idea of giving him the award.
