What do former President Donald Trump, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini have in common? Each has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, and Trump was nominated for the fourth time earlier Tuesday. Stalin was nominated twice. Now you’d think with a name like “Peace Prize” this would mean people noted for being kind and promoting peace, like say, Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai, who received the award in 2014 for her fight against the Taliban after it declared in 2009 that all schools for girls would be closed or there would be repercussions. Because Malala believed in the power of education for women, she continued going to school and was subsequently shot by the Taliban, very nearly losing her life. She continues to campaign for the rights of girls to have a proper education and such bravery is the reason why she won this prestigious award.

Now, this is the point where I’m going to say that the only brave thing Donald Trump has ever done in his life is eat a Whopper. I mean heck, this is a guy who hid in the bunker when protesters over the death of George Floyd broke out in front of the White House at the end of May 2020.

This time around, Trump has been nominated for the prize after his name was put forward by New York Rep. Claudia Tenney (R) because, she claims he was “instrumental” in brokering the 2020 treaty signed between Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates in the hopes of normalizing their relationships as a way to ease ongoing tensions in the Middle East between Arab countries and Israel, Newsweek reports. In the ensuing months, Morocco and Sudan also signed similar agreements.

“For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’, and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false,” Tenney told Fox News in a statement.

Tenney also said that the 1976 Israeli peace agreement with Egypt and 1994’s Oslo Accords were both recognized with Nobel Peace Prizes but that so far Trump’s role in the signing of the Abraham Accords has been ignored.

And sure the Abraham Accords have helped solidify Israeli-Arab ties, but the agreements are also facing criticism because they have not produced any meaningful solutions for the Israeli-Palestine conflict (read genocide of Palestinian citizens). I dunno, I suppose one way the U.S. could help solve this conflict could be by not sending troops and seemingly unending financial aid to Israel to kill innocent Palestinians who have nothing to do with Hamas.

I know, I know, that’s just me.

I know, I hopped off subject here, and Tenney is all up in her feels about Trump being ignored, and she wants something to be done about it, damn it.

“The valiant efforts by President Trump in creating the Abraham Accords were unprecedented and continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, underscoring the need for his nomination today,” she said. “Now, more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage is threatening our country’s safety and security, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace.”

But as you can see from those nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, more than a few of these people were monsters and it would be nice if the committee would recognize this and quit nominating the likes of Henry Kissinger, who won the coveted award in 1973 and is responsible for the deaths of millions of people in Latin America, East Timor, Africa, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Vietnam. These atrocities were so shocking that they led beloved TV chef Anthony Bourdain to remark:

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.”

So Donald Trump will probably not shut up about his fourth nomination, and he’ll play the victim if he loses. But for as many people who deservedly earn this prize, it’s obvious there are also evil bastards out there who receive it despite the atrocities they commit.

Just something to ponder. That’s all.
