President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, just weeks after helping to broker peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
He was nominated by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, who praised Trump for his efforts towards resolving conflicts worldwide.
'For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,' Tybring-Gjedde said to Fox News.
Tybring-Gjedde, who is a four-term member of Parliament who also serves as chairman of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, said the Trump administration played a key role in the establishment of relations between The UAE and Israel.
The deal was first announced by the President on August 13, with Trump saying that the United Arab Emirates and Israel have agreed to establish full diplomatic ties as part of a deal to halt the Israeli annexation of occupied land sought by the Palestinians for their future state.
The historic deal delivered a key foreign policy victory to Trump as he seeks reelection, and reflected a changing Middle East in which shared concerns about archenemy Iran have largely overtaken traditional Arab support for the Palestinians.
Officials said on Tuesday that a signing ceremony would be hosted at the White House on September 15, with senior delegations from the two countries in attendance, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

You can't make these things up; there was a time when I thought nomination for a Nobel prize, especially the Peace Prize, was soemthing worthy of respect.
And the statement, "For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees" is just ludicrous. I don't even know who most of the other nominees are, but I don't think you find that many people in the world who would make that statement true or anything other than laughable. Not sure what his deal is, but I doubt Tybring-Gjedde is that stupid.

He’s a far right wing extremist politician in Norway - that probably explains everything.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Peace between UAE and Israel? Seriously - that's an achievement worthy of a Nobel? I broke up a fight between my two cats - littermates about 15 years ago - if I'd known the bar was that low I'd have taken pictures and sent them in.

evil Metastases like this. We should be kind , it is not their fault they were not born with Danish wisdom.
There is a story, universally understood in Denmark, that when the Nazis came in the Norwegians released everyone from the asylums to keep the Nazis from murdering them. After the war not a single one was ever found.
