Well, I don’t think they usually give them to disease super spreaders.

The poor guy ( ) and this time he even managed to find two people to nominate him. The world is really rigged against him isn't it?

An organisation which helps "shit-hole countries". How galling that must be!

Of course, he'll claim he got a "tremendous" amount of votes, but he was unfairly robbed of the prize.

Maybe someone could make him a trophy (you know go down to the resale store and buy one to repurpose) put his name on it and send it to him, as a consolation prize.
I'd probably spray paint the whole thing with a fresh coat of gold paint so it looks shiny (and maybe a layer of lacquer or two to keep it shiny).
He could proudly display it on a mantle in the White House.

He could proudly display it on a mantle in the White House. First you'd have to photoshop a picture of him holding it and create a fake Time magazine cover. Then a six-foot tall painting of the photo that you auction off so he can spend more charity funds on himself.

Greta Thunberg was nominated last year and this year for the Peace Prize.. Trump ranted and raved when Thunberg was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2019 over him.
Imagine trump's flapping gums had Thunberg won Nobel Peace Prize.

Everyone knows the Nobel prize is run by never Trumpers who all used to work for Biden.

I’m sure not a fan of Trump but what happened with Israel, Bahrain and UAE was a good thing he had a part in and worthy of Nobel consideration.
I have to think they considered it along with his other dumpster fire of a body of work and it was a hard pass.

How so? He brokered a "peace deal" between countries which were never at war. Ever. That deserved a Nobel Peace Prize? Rather superfluous, don't you think?

I think more countries in the region acknowledging Israel’s right to exist is a good thing. Are you saying what happened wasn’t a move in the right direction for Middle East peace? It’s more than Arafat, Peres and Rabin accomplished when they won in 94. It’s more than what Obama had done when he won in 09. It’s definitely more worthy than Kissinger getting it in 73.

The major players in the Middle East are Israel and the Palestinian Authority. When Palestine becomes its own state and Israel signs a peace treat with them, then the Nobel Prize can be awarded. Even then, the prize would go to the leaders of Israel and Palestine. If you remember the Camp David Accords, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Menachem Begin of Israel for signing a peace treaty. President Carter who arranged the meeting at Camp David and worked with Sadat and Begin, did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

I don’t disagree with you, they have set the bar kind of low with some of their prior picks and to me it’s pretty inconsistent. Unfortunately my nomination was left to languish again 😫
