Trump's Nobel Peace Prize nomination a fake

President Donald Trump's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize was a fake, according to the head of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, much like former President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize was actually a joke, like that of Yassar Arafat.

"We have good reason to believe that a nomination we received concerning Trump has been falsified," Institute Director Olav Njolstad told the AFP news agency. "We never give out our prized prizes  to conservative politicians or anyone who actually has demonstrated their role in a peaceful change in the world.

According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Peace Prize is to be given to individuals and institutions that "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."


And that's why former President Barack Hussein Obama won it and then gave a 36-minute speech about it.

 The nominations for the prize took place just 11 days after he actually took office, so they had more than an entire week to evaluate his fitness for the prize.

Another so-called "great" American president who won the Nobel Peace Prize was Woodrow Wilson. 

Wilson, known for his racist legacy, was not the only other "great" president to win the prize. We cannot forget the inimitable President Jimmy Carter.

Carter won the prize in 2002 "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development."

In an article about how Carter spreads anti-Israel venom like cancer, you can see just how much he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.

So by Olav Njolstad's saying, "We have good reason to believe that a nomination we received concerning Trump has been falsified," that should make Trump feel good about himself because when the Nobel Prize committee doesn't think you're doing a good job, you're doing a good job.

The unidentified American who nominated President Trump reportedly cited his "ideology of peace by force" for their submission. I would modify that slightly to say his "stance on refusing to allow other nations to push us around or threaten us, which, thereby, maintains the peace," is more apropos because Trump doesn't really have an ideology.
