//I someone having a laugh? //

He sounds quite serious to me. He's given his reasons.

[DTCwordfan]

Totally unbelievable.....I assume Putin will now et the Chemistry prize for his work on Novichok formulation.

[ToraToraTora]

well there is precedent, St Tony! Nelson Mandela! Adolf!

[ToraToraTora]

Mussolini! Stalin!

Obama-bomber in chief

[ichkeria]

Even President Obama was somewhat embarrassed to receive the prize.
Anyone I believe is free to nominate anyone. Putin has been nominated before now.

It would actually be quite funny if he won it. I almost want it to happen.

[royfromaus]

The Nobel peace prize is bullcrap, I thought we all knew that.

[naomi24]

Tomus, I DO want it to happen. :o)

[tamborine]

not a laugh danny. Trump has earned the NPP according to your link.

[DTCwordfan]

It should be renamed, the prize that is, - The Numpty Peace Prize and the middle P could almost be Politician

[ichkeria]

Needless to say (I hope), in fairness to the committee, he won’t actually win it

[Old_Geezer]

Do they not weigh up any pros against cons for the potential nominee, arriving at the difference first, before nominating ?

[ichkeria]

Like I say, anyone can nominate anyone.
Trump wasn’t considered by the Nobel prize committee.

With Trumps incedible jealousy of Obama I wouldn't put it past him paying someone to nominate him.

[aelmpvw]

if he wins, perhaps he'll use the cash windfall to start building his wall

[youngmafbog]

"With Trumps incedible jealousy of Obama I wouldn't put it past him paying someone to nominate him."

So you dont know but you write it anyway. The lefts usual tactic of tell a lie enough and it becomes truth

[youngmafbog]

Back to the OP. As Ich has pointed out he has been nominated and is highly unlikely to win.

BUT, it should be the best person regardless of your politics.

[bhg481]

ymb - I'm not left wing; I just recognise a cheat when I see one. This is a thread for opinions; that's mine.

[youngmafbog]

He is a politician. Do you call every politician a cheat because they all pee in the same pot you know?

And what specifically do you think he cheats at?
