Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Can a genocidal war criminal nominate someone for a peace prize?

Several categories can nominate; members of parliament and members of government in all countries are one. So, yes, a genocidal war criminal can nominate, if he falls into this category or one of the others.

But typically 250-300 people are nominated each year, so there's a great gap between nomination and winning. The Nobel Committee does not announce who has been nominated, but the people who make nominations are free to announce them if they wish. Most nominations are a form of arselickery, done with no expectation on the part of either the nominator or the nominee that victory will result. The more public and ostentatious the announcement of the nomination, the more it looks like arselickery. Netenyahyu handed Trump a copy of the letter of nomination in public, at a dinner, and he made a little speech about it

so you can draw your own conclusions

Trump has been nominated for the Prize several times before, the first (that we know of) in 2018, when Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a far-right anti-immigrant Islamophobic Eurosceptic climate-change-denying Norwegian politician announced that he had nominated him. He was not successful on that occasion, nor in 2020 when Tybring-Gjedde nominated him again.

Netenyahu isn't even the first person to have nominated him this year; since January he has been nominated by Darrell Issa, a MAGA Repulican member of the House of Representatives; Claudia Tenney another MAGA Repulican member of the House of Representatives (who for good measure has also introduced legislation to make Trump's birthday a national holiday); Buddy Carter who, by an astonishing coincidence, is also a MAGA Repulican member of the House of Representatives; and the government of Pakistan, who — and I'm sure this is wholly unconnected — are hoping that Trump will not re-impose the 39% tariff that he announced for Pakistan on Stupid Tuesday.

By now, Trump's arse must be fairly damp from this tsunami of lickery, not to mention squeaky-clean. But I still wouldn't be putting money on him actually winning the prize any time soon.

There is only one answer to that

Would any hand writing professional - even retired ones so that Trump cannot sack them - out there care to have a shot of analysing Trump’s ‘personality’ from his signature. The ones I am aware of are ‘ quiet accurate.

A classical example of ‘The King With No Clothes ‘ . Trump thinks that he is pulling a fast one but the rest of us , with any modicum of an alive brain- know that it is 1000% not true

He has never faced any consequences for anything his whole life.

He even got shot in the head, and ended up looking like a war hero afterwards.

Trump's biography is the single biggest piece of evidence that either god does not exist, or there is a god, just one with an extremely warped sense of humour

And the guy in the audience who was shot by one of the bullets was not really shot at all, he was planted to make it look as though bullets were flying. There was never any significant mention of him, his funeral, sympathy to the family, etc. Oh and the photograph of the bullet was a fake too.

The Nonel peace prize would become worthless if it was given to somebody who got involved in a conflict, and bombed a country, that's none of their business.
