President Donald Trump has again been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, though the shortlist of those who will be in contention remains months away.

The commander-in-chief has been put forward for the prize by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who is a member of the Norwegian Parliament.

In his nomination letter, reported by Fox News, Tybring-Gjedde said Trump's role in establishing relations between Israel and the UAE was part of the reasoning behind him putting the president forward.

"For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees," he told Fox News.

1. Tybring-Gjedde is an MP for the Fremskrittspartiet (The Progress Party)...

Reminder: This is the party in which mass murderer Anders Breivik was a youth leader.

Tybring-Gjedde is also the guy who nominated Trump for the NPP in 2018 for his Singapore summit with Kim Jong Un.

7. Thanks for that. So this is just a kiss-ass move from him

2. 1. The prize would be awarded in 2021. The 2020 prize is scheduled to be awarded October 9.

2. It wasn't a peace deal. It was a commercial trade agreement b/n Israel and the UAE.
3. Trump won't make the "semi-finals" with the other competition.

6. What an absolute joke!

It's kind of scary how all these European right-wing nationalists are suddenly looking to Trump as their hero and role model.

8. Even the awards committee needs a good laugh every now and then.

Maybe they could come up with something new and fitting for Rump the First. South Park had a good idea: The Biggest Douche in the Universe.

9. Another person ...

... who should have his bank accounts scrutinized.

What's the going rate on a Nobel Peace Prize nomination these days - anyone know?

10. Nobel Prize? Trump is a turd in the international punchbowl.

Not gonna happen.
