On Wednesday, far-right Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde announced that he nominated President Donald Trump for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to the new Israel-United Arab Emirates Agreement.
Fox News excitedly broke the story of Trumps alleged honor, but left out some very important context: Each year, hundreds of people are nominated, and that any lawmaker serving in a national legislature can nominate someone for the Nobel Peace Prize.
So who, exactly, is the person responsible for bestowing this Fox News bonanza upon us? Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Progress Party known for his staunch anti-immigration stance, believes Trump should be considered based on this one act alone, referring to the historic deal made between Israel and the United Arab Emirates to normalize relations between the two nations.
No matter how Trump acts at home and what he says at press conferences, he has absolutely a chance at getting the Nobel Peace Prize, he told the Associated Press. Tybring-Gjedde echoed similar sentiments in a Facebook post: It is now to hope that the Nobel Committee is able to consider what Trump has achieved internationally and that it does not stumble in established prejudice against the U.S. President.

And Trump is eating it all up. He's such a simpleton.

Never.
What a stupid idea.
Christian Tybring-Gjedde should have some psychological tests. I believe he has some issues.
