Anti-Immigration Norwegian Lawmaker Nominates Trump For The Nobel Prize, Again | Talking Points Memo

I’m sure the Nobel Committee will take Tybring-Gjedde’s nomination, as they say, “under advisement.” And then the janitor will file it in the proper receptacle.

Besides, Cockholster wants a “Noble Prize” anyway.

getting nominated isn’t the same as winning… lots of people have gotten nominated and not won… although I’m sure Cheeto Donnie thinks it’s in the bag and is just waiting for the phone call💀

The Should give Nobel Prize or Greta Thunberg or better yet a second one to Barack Obama, just see what kind of stroke Trump gets.

Well, he’s been nominated before and passed over for some reason.

But I’m sure he thinks they won’t overlook him again.

I can hear the Swedes laughing all the way here. What, exactly, did Trump actually do to deserve this? Isn’t Jared the boy wonder the one “responsible” for this “great achievement”?

Give it to him. Trump would have a stroke.

Any Prize, Award, or Honor either bestowed to Trump or bestowed by him upon another automatically taints that award and renders it unworthy. And that includes his fucking Pardons.

Neither a bestowerer nor a bestowed be.

Trump suggested that a snub for the honor was due to the fact that the selection process was rigged, adding that surely he would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for a lot of things if they gave it out fairly.”

If they gave out things fairly, Trump would die in Spandau Prison.

Nobel Peace Prize? Nah. Maybe the Nobel Prize for Literature. No one churns out more fiction than this clown.

Nomination is meaningless, any doofus can mail in a letter saying why they think someone should get it. There is a reason the actual committee doesn’t list the nominees, because it’s a list that comes from the public at large and is endlessly long every single year.

I used to work with one person (who was just any doofus) who would annually nominate another person we worked with (this was not actually absurd, the nominee had a better case than Trump) and then the nominator was and still is the only person who would ever refer to the nominee as ‘Nobel Prize Nominee’ (the nominee has since passed away and is no longer eligible)

There is no Nobel prize awarded in the field of dipshittery.

I hope they don’t schedule the Nobel Prize ceremony, the Mount Rushmore unveiling, and the Totally Bestest Student Ever at Wharton award reception on the same day.

I said this already elsewhere, but I think they should give it to Biden if he beats Trump.
That would be…

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a four-term member of Norwegian Parliament with a history of slinging anti-Muslim sentiment, submitted Trump’s nomination Wednesday
It’s not the first time this happened: Tybring-Gjedde nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize once before (for his work with Kim Jung Un of North Korea).

I wonder what an investigation of the finances or background of one Christian Tybring-Gjedde would reveal. Perhaps some financial dependence on Russian money sources? Perhaps some kompromat? There is definitely significant racism given his anti-immigrant stance.

Great quote. i will have to look up the author!
