Source: Associated Press
COPENHAGEN, Denmark Two Norwegian lawmakers have nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after the Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Christian Tybring-Gjedde and Per-Willy Amundsen, lawmakers with the populist Progress Party, told Norwegian news agency NTB on Wednesday that Trump had taken a huge and important step in the direction of the disarmament, peace and reconciliation between North and South Korea.
A group of U.S. lawmakers also are backing Trumps nomination for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.
The process of considering candidates and awarding the Nobel Peace Prize is done in Norway. Nominations must be sent to the Norwegian Nobel Committee before Feb. 1. The committee doesnt publicly comment on who was nominated, information which is required to be kept secret for 50 years.

Prediction: Kim will say he is removing his nuclear weapons. But Kim and Trump (and Putin) will not allow inspectors or anyone to investigate if it's true.
I agree with everything you wrote.

Of course, anti-establishment populists could also easily be stupid and destructive enough to try to use Russia (!) to help them bring down their own government. Even in Nortway. And I'm sure Putin's helping them all he can.

Trump should get a Nobel Prize; for narcissistic lunacy. Maybe the two Norwegian fascists can get the Nobel Committee to add a new category, just for "The Donald". If he doesn't get a Nobel Prize he'll start calling them "fake prizes" that you get in a box of Cracker Jacks. Just wait.

Like Stephen Colbert said recently, Trumps big mouth is just a cock holster for Putin.
