        Witkoff: There is only one thing I wish for. That the Nobel committee finally gets its act together and realizes you are the single finest candidate since this Nobel award was ever talked about, to receive that award.

        My only question is how that guy manages to breathe.

        I was only joking

          Does he realize he's clearly, clearly pronouncing it as noble, not Nobel? "That noble committee..."

            I wonder what the track record is of people who openly campaign for the prize.

            Thank you for your attention to this matter.

              It is actually quite easy to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

              https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/nobel-peace-prize/nomination/criteria-for-nominators

              According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is considered valid if it is submitted by a person who falls within one of the following categories, a personal application for an award will not be considered:

              Members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of state
              Members of The International Court of Justice in The Hague and The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague
              Members of l'Institut de Droit International
              Members of the International Board of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
              University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion; university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
              Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
              Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
              Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (proposals by current members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after 1 February)
              Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

              Unless otherwise stated the term 'members' shall be understood as current (sitting) members.

                They offered me the Peace Prize a few years back but I turned them down. It's physics, or nothing.

                  He may still win the Chamberlain Prize for Appeasement.

                    @jon-nyc said in Nobel Peace Prize - nomination for Trump:

                    He may still win the Chamberlain Prize for Appeasement.

                    Hey... it's sort of a 'pease prize!

                        It's not a bad list and does show a consistent effort toward peace.

                          Hmmm, COVID vaccine. Definitely a great achievment in getting it done so fast, but I am sure this would be qualifiying for a peace prize

                          Has his foreign policy made the world a safer place?

                          MIddle East/Israel - I am not sure what has changed that will carry on for years.

                          India/Pakistan - India is moving much closer to China. Also, it can be an arguement that things with Pakistan and India did not really "flare up" until President Trump was in office.

                          Ukraine/Russia - still waiting for that 24 time limit to start to bring peace there.

                          China relations/DPRK - relations with China continue to be downward, though that is actually a continuing from President Biden's time. I would say that DPRK is probably more powerful now than they were a year ago.

                          Thailand/Cambodia - I think that PResident Trump had something to do with the ceasefire, but the overall situation is really unchanged, other than the PM of Thaiand has been removed and replaced.

                          Africa - dont know much about it Revisit in a year. (The biggest fighting group in Rwanda/Congo says that the agreement signed does not apply to them.)
