Trump's efforts to secure a Nobel Peace Prize are Orwellian

The president is desperately lobbying for a Nobel while backing war and chaos around the world.

NBC News reports that Trump and his aides are intensifying a public campaign to snag the award, citing a string of peace deals while making a case that snubbing him again would be an injustice. According to NBC News, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said, unprompted, at three out of her four press briefings in July that Trump deserves the prize. In fact, shes arguing its overdue: Its well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, she said at one presser. Trump has also posted about the prize a total of seven times on his social media site since his second term began, six of them in June and July, NBC News reports.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a five-member body appointed by Norways parliament. Trump has reportedly tried to influence the group through talks with the countrys government. A Norwegian news outlet reported Thursday that Trump said that he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize during a July call with Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg to discuss tariffs. (According to NBC News, a White House official said that the president and Stoltenberg did speak, but could not say that the conversation was focused on the prize. Stoltenberg confirmed in a statement that he spoke to Trump about tariffs but would not go into further details of the call.)

Trumps Nobel Prize campaign and his conviction that he is entitled to one is of course absurd. Alfred Nobel called in his will for the prize to be awarded to individuals who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. How would Trump fit the bill?

Even if he (somehow) got one, that's still just a tie.

Hilary would nominate Trump if he did these things

Hannity asked Trump about her and this in the interview. Trump was like BYGONES BE BYGONES LOVE HER.
more or less. As we all know he was friends with Bill and Hilary before all this so no surprising despite LOCK HER UP

If we've learned anything about how this world works, it's 100 percent surefire thing that Trump will win a peace prize.
