President Donald Trump Gets His THIRD Nobel Prize Nomination
...this year.
[PJ] This month, two Arab Muslim states — Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — normalized relations with the Jewish State of Israel, an earth-shattering diplomatic breakthrough long considered utterly unthinkable. Shortly before that, two Balkan countries put aside their historic enmity and normalized relations — and promised to open embassies in Jerusalem, recognizing the City of David as the capital of Israel. Each of these separate deals would be enough to get Trump in the history books, and the president has received three nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize in the wake of these tremendous accomplishments.

One Norwegian parliamentarian and one Swedish parliamentarian each nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, highlighted the historic UAE peace deal while the Swede, Magnus Jacobsson, focused on the Serbia-Kosovo deal.

On Monday, Sky News reported on a third Nobel Prize nomination for Donald Trump, this time coming from four law professors in Australia. Law professor David Flint announced he was nominating Trump on the basis of the "Trump Doctrine."

"He went ahead and negotiated against all advice, but he did it with common sense. He negotiated directly with the Arab states concerned and Israel and brought them together," Flint told Sky News.

Flint described the Trump Doctrine as "something extraordinary," based on "common sense" and "national interest."

"What he has done with the Trump Doctrine is that he has decided he would no longer have America in endless wars, wars which achieve nothing but the killing of thousands of young Americans," the professor argued. "So he’s reducing America’s tendency to get involved in any and every war."

That is to say, his third this year. President Trump had two nominations for the 2019 prize (which of course went nowhere) according to Ay Pee at the time:
Two Norwegian lawmakers have nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after the Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde and Per-Willy Amundsen, lawmakers with the populist Progress Party, told Norwegian news agency NTB on Wednesday that Trump “had taken a huge and important step in the direction of the disarmament, peace and reconciliation between North and South Korea.”

#1 Drove NE through the country from Reinhardt University in Waleska, GA. to Jasper last evening. Lots of Black Angus cattle and large Trump campaign signs and banners everywhere.

#2 By applying age old K.I.S.S. Business Logic and Negotiation tactics to political issues, instead of play politics. Has resulted in many successes for Trump.

#4 His/GOP base isn't the issue. It is getting the fence sitters/independents on board. And if these Dem-supported riots don't tip the scales, then this country is really fooocked.

#5 But fewer wars mean more tyrants in power overseas. Venezuela, Iran, Syria. If not America, then who?

#8 And if these Dem-supported riots don't tip the scales, then this country is really fooocked.

This is the most terrifying thing about a Harris/Biden win.

We'll have sent the signal that these riots are the way to get what you want.

And then we'll have the full on anarcho-tyranny that everyone dreads.

#9 Clem, how many tyrants has the US overthrown that worked out well? Germany, Japan, and maybe Panama are the only examples I can come up with.

US remove a dictator and the ungrateful masses are easily manipulated against the US. The populace removes their own dictator and they become allies.
