Japan's leader nominated Trump for Nobel Prize at Washington's urging: Report

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize — but he did so at the U.S. government’s prompting, according to a Sunday report in Japan’s Asahi Shimbun.

Government sources told Asahi, one of Japan’s oldest and largest national newspapers, that Abe nominated Trump last fall for the peace prize at the “behest of Washington.” The U.S. had “informally” asked Japan to nominate Trump for the accolade following the president’s landmark summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the newspaper said, citing unnamed sources.

Trump can now legitimately claim he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize when he runs for re-election.

We know it's bullshit. Trump and his cabal knows it's bullshit. But his deplorables -- and the clueless independents -- won't.
