Donald Trump reportedly nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Monday was not a good day for Donald Trump. His infamous phrase ‘loser’ came back to haunt him when he was forced to admit defeat to rival Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucus after weeks of being billed as the Republican frontrunner. 

But on Tuesday, it emerged that Trump’s name had reportedly made it on to a list of nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize - alongside figures such as Pope Francis and a campaigner for Isis rape survivors. 

Trump’s reported nomination comes after he made a number of inflammatory and divisive comments in the run-up to the caucus. The billionaire business magnate "endeared himself to millions by proposing Muslims be banned from entering the US and has been condemned for his comments about immigration and Mexican migrants, with one of his most infamous pledges being to build a “big beautiful wall” between the US and Mexico.

The prize has no real meaning after giving it to Al Gore for his faulty Climate documentary and Barack Obama for getting elected. If Obama can win the Peace Prize, why not Trump.

Hande hoche!

Obama and Kissinger come to mind immediately.

Benito Mussolini (1935), Adolf Hitler (1939) and Joseph Stalin (1945, 1948) were all nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

They've got it wrong. Surely it's the "hairpiece" prize?

I was going to joke that the requirements were so low these days Hitler would have got one. Thought it was a bit early to Godwin the thread but turns out I was somewhat right.

The "Donald" of course or possibly his mammy, who else in their right mind would?

I was walking through Dublin’s Temple Bar and I saw that there was a "Islamic Book Store."

I was wondering what exactly was in a Muslim bookstore, so I went in.

As I was wandering around taking a look, the clerk stopped me and asked if he could help me.

I imagine I didn't look like his normal clientele, so I asked, “Do you have a copy of Donald Trump's book on his U.S. Immigration Policy regarding Muslims and illegal Mexicans?"

The clerk said: "F"*k off, get out and stay out!"

I said: "Yes, that's the one. Do you have it in paperback?"
