If he loses, do you think Trump will say, "It was an honor to be nominated" , or will he tweet about rigged results?

October of next year....
Will the judge allow him to travel to receive it? I think he’ll still be out on bail by then but with his passport surrendered.

I don’t think Trump realizes he’s only been nominated. He’s been bragging like he won it.
Maybe his staff are too scared to tell him.

For some who likes to claim he is a powerful and brilliant self made man he sure whines a lot about things being rigged against him.

nypost.com/2020/09/11/donald-trump-nominated-for-second-nobel-peace-prize/Tr ump last Friday hosted the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo to sign a landmark economic normalization agreement.
Kosovo split from Serbia in 2008, declaring independence with US assistance following a genocidal war waged by then-Serbian strongman Slobodan Milošević which killed 10,000 Muslim ethnic Albanians.
“It took decades because you didn’t have anybody trying to get it done,” Trump said in the Oval Office, flanked by Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti and Serbia President Aleksandar Vučić.
“There was a lot of fighting and now there’s a lot of love,” he continued.
Serbia still does not recognize Kosovo’s independence but it allows economic cooperation, rail and transit links, and the free movement of people and goods between the two countries.2008 to 2020 only contains one decade. How long has Trump's team been working on this? If anyone has access to the Boston Globe there is an opinion piece there on this that I did not have access to read.

Thus decades would indicate a period of at least 20 years (although implying more) and not 12 years. But the exaggerator in Chief does have a very specific style (called lying) now doesn’t he.

I personally don't say two years when I mean 1 year nine months nor do I say 1 year in that case. I definitely wouldn't say its been years when clearly it hasn't, as it didn't even meet the two year mark. Trump is exaggerating in usual Trump style. I agree with Dondub, decades implies a minimum of twenty years elapsing.

I look at this type of conversation as filler to move the conversation down from something, I'll look back a bit.

All I see is Trump being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize again. That must be it. He did. From the same guy no less. It makes me wonder whether he is a fan, was paid, or both. Tybring-Gjedde, who nominated Trump for the 2019 award for his diplomatic efforts with North Korea, said the latest nomination was also made because of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq.
“It is for his contribution for peace between Israel and the UAE. It is a unique deal,” Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of parliament for the right-wing Progress Party, told Reuters.

www.reuters.com/article/us-nobel-prize-peace-trump-idUSKBN2601R4I wonder about things also. Why did President Obama get a Nobel Peace Prize when he was the first president in US history, to be at war for his complete two terms ? As you seem to be hinting at, I may be wrong, you also feel like me that the whole peace prize thing is politically motivated ?

As you seem to be hinting at, I may be wrong, you also feel like me that the whole peace prize thing is politically motivated ? Are you asking why in 2009 the committee couldn't predict the future? I think the peace prize should go to people who do the work. Obama's was too soon which is why he did not want to accept. I'd rather see the people behind the scenes who make these deals get the prize as a team versus visible world leaders, but its not under my control. Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Barack Obama in 2009 failed to achieve what the committee hoped it would, its ex-secretary has said.
Geir Lundestad told the AP news agency that the committee hoped the award would strengthen Mr Obama.
Instead, the decision was met with criticism in the US. Many argued he had not had any impact worthy of the award.
Mr Lundestad, writing in his memoir, Secretary of Peace, said even Mr Obama himself had been surprised.
"No Nobel Peace Prize ever elicited more attention than the 2009 prize to Barack Obama," Mr Lundestad writes.
"Even many of Obama's supporters believed that the prize was a mistake," he says. "In that sense the committee didn't achieve what it had hoped for".

www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34277960No. (first bolded) This. (Second bolded) What I believe is nothing to the Nobel committee, but I believe the peace prize should be given out for accomplishment, not political pandering. I already knew about the information presented here in your post, I kind of figured you would post the similar results I already found a while back. The first and second bolded are tied together as far as I'm concerned. The Nobel committee was trying to affect the future, with a 'preemptive award' ? award [əˈwôrd] NOUN a prize or other mark of recognition given in honor of an achievement. www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/

I expect to read Nicolás Maduro, Ali Khamenei, Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedow and a few others have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize too real soon. Putin nominated for Nobel Peace PrizeRussian President Vladimir Putin was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, the Kremlin confirmed on Thursday. The nomination from a group of Russian public figures was spearheaded by writer Sergey Komkov, according to Russian news agency TASS The nomination was reportedly sent to the five-person committee in Norway earlier this year. However, the reason for the nomination has not yet been reported. The Hill has reached out to The Nobel Foundation for comment. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Putin’s administration was not behind the nomination. "You all know that completely different people are nominated for this award. This is an initiative of those submitting the nomination. In this case, [the nomination was submitted by] the aforementioned writer,” Peskov said, referring to Komkov. "If this decision is made [to award the prize] — great, if not, it’s no problem as well," Peskov added. Putin nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
