Roommates, 2020 has been quite an odd year so far, and it seems like the strange occurrences won’t be stopping any time soon, as Donald Trump has just been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.
According to Reuters, a Norwegian lawmaker has nominated Donnie for the prize for his role in brokering a deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. This is reportedly the second time the lawmaker has nominated Trump for the prize.
Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, submitted the nomination, and says Trump has done his part to “create peace” amongst the nations.
“For his merit, I think the has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” he said, “As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in then footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game-changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity.”
Tybring-Gjedde also applauds Trump for removing armed forces from the Middle East and creating positive contact between “conflicting parties”.
“Indeed, Trump has broken a 39-year-old streak of American Presidents either starting a war or bringing the United States into an international armed conflict. The last president to avoid doing sob was Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter.”
Previously, Donnie had a few complaints about the prize, particularly about the fact that Barack Obama won it and he hadn’t.
“They gave it to Obama. He didn’t even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, “Oh, what did I get it for?'” Trump said in February 2019. “With me, I probably will never get it.”
Well, despite his skepticism about winning himself, Donnie is indeed nominated, which means he has a chance to be a Nobel Peace Prize holder.
