I don't know much about her but it's truly sad to see how absolutely eeeeeveryyyyy media reporting about this have to report it with Trump, or in relation to his statements. Man must sucks to be her, limelight is still on Trump, truly a showman.

And to repeat my point that I do every year: Nobel peace prize is the only part of the price that is actually given out by a foreign political body (Norway, founding member of NATO and Oil nation) and not the Swedish academy.

It's famous recepients include presidents that bombed/joined war during/just after been given it and bloggers that kept blogging after surviving shootings. And Henry Kissinger

Petition to rename it to "Norwegian peace price". /signed, a Swede

What, are you not impressed by us putting retired politicians into an independent committee according to their party's political power in parliament??

Are you suggesting that the committee should consist of some kind of qualified experts instead of non-competent politicians?!

Preposterous. Typically of a Swede.

(To be fair to Nobel himself, the world was a bit different when he authored his testament, and Norway was relatively innocent still.)

Because Donald Trump is the most deserving winner of the Nobel Peace Prize since Nelson Mandela in 1993. Especially so for those that think Israel was committing a genocide.

I'm sure that the guy sending to prison and extraditing people without due process is a very deserving of a peace prize.

She did dedicate this prize to Trump [1]:

> I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

She is a vocal Trump supporter after all [2].

This is deeply related to Trump and is all part of manufacturing consent for the eventual invasion or coup on Venezuela.

The literal words that she said? Why would we call this nonsense?

Nothing says peace like sending the military to occupy your own cities.
