Summary
Trump’s confrontational approach to Ukraine, overshadowing any potential diplomatic achievement, raises doubts about his Nobel Peace Prize chances.
Critics, including Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who previously nominated Trump, warn that a Russia-leaning deal unsettles Europe.
Trump’s testy meeting with President Zelenskyy, marked by demands for gratitude and threats of withdrawing support, has stoked fears that negotiations are collapsing.
The Nobel Committee’s focus on honorable conduct also factors in, with Trump’s hostility toward the press and Europe’s concerns over territorial aggression undermining the “greatest benefit of humankind” requirement.
Zelensky deserves a peace prize for not punching Trump right in his fat face during that horrible meeting.
The Nobel committee has a great opportunity to make a point here.
It really would be a hilarious thumb of the nose at Trump. I for one would love to see it for that reason alone.
He should start by doing something, anything, to make the world a more peaceful place.
He’s rallying the EU against us, will probably make the EU stronger than ever, which is probably good for peace there.
Obliterating the United States on the world stage stands a pretty good chance of doing that in the long term, actually. He just won’t be around to see it. Neither will most Americans.
Trumps still butthurt that Obama got a Peace Prize and he didn’t.
Yea, but it was kinda weird that Obama was awarded for … wait what did he do again?
But Obama did live up to the principals. He ordered hundreds of drone strikes and assassinations, and Trump has never touched Obama’s deportation numbers. But he did host the beer summit for the racist pig who arrested his old professor. So I guess he’s got that going for him, which is nice.
Obama holds the record for most Doctors Without Borders hospitals bombed by a Nobel peace prize winner
He can follow his small mustached leader’s approach to vacating office and everyone would gladly celebrate his accomplishment.
Personally I’m hoping for a more “French” ending but I’ll take what I can get.
The Italian ending would also be acceptable.
Getting Gaddafied would be acceptable as well.
umm majority voted for him!
Majority did not, in fact, vote for him.
Ah, you’re right, by the time they counted all the votes his popular vote percentage had just dipped under 50%. He still got more votes than his opponent, though, which is an improvement over his last elections.
Back to russia please troll
Best I can do is a Nibble a Piece of Shit Prize.
He’ll probably seize one from someone he hates and claim presidential immunity for the crime.
I remember that one; asked to see it, then just pocketed it while his guards moved in-between them.
The Nobel Committee values global benefit, not political theater or coercion.

Didn’t Obama get one for just being elected? Maybe there was a specific reason but the peace prizes are basically “vibes”
Obama’s award still confuses me. Why not wait for actual accomplishments before handing it out?

Even Obama said he doesn’t know why they gave it to him.
“Keeping Up With the Kissingers”
Is there an anti-Nobel Peace Prize winner?
There’s the Ig Nobel Prize. It’s satirical so there’s a chance he wouldn’t understand that it’s not the real one. Which would make the ceremony funnier as he gets pelted with paper airplanes and heckled.
I don’t think they give Nobel Prizes to pieces of shit.
