Worldwide Respect For Trump Far More Meaningful than the Nobel Peace Prize

Should the Socialists on the hideously hypocritical Nobel Peace Prize Committee ever award President Donald Trump the Peace Prize for denuclearizing North Korea and for getting the temper tyrant Kim Jung-un to bury the hatched he wields against South Korea, he should swiftly refuse to accept it.

As columnist Jeff Crouere reports in his piece today nominations for the prize were closed “a mere 11 days after Obama took the oath of office”. Obama was awarded the Noel Peace Prize for “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” What a joke! Recognizing the insult to the integrity of the Nobel Peace Prize, a group of stalwart Peace Prize supporters tried—unsuccessfully—to take it back. Socialist Thorbjørn Jagland, Chairman of the Noble Committee, was the whip behind Obama’s Noble Prize: Jagland is a member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee and formerly served as its chairman when Bozo got the prize. 

“Thorbjørn Jagland (born Thorbjørn Johansen) is a Norwegian politician from the Labour Party, currently serving as the Secretary General of the Council of Europe (since 2009). He served as Prime Minister of Norway from 1996 to 1997, as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2000 to 2001 and as President of the Storting from 2005 to 2009. (Wikipedia) “Jagland studied economics at the University of Oslo at introductory level, but did not graduate. He started his political career in the Workers' Youth League, which he led from 1977 to 1981. He was party secretary from 1986 to 1992 and party leader from 1992 to 2002.

In 2010 a group of forty prominent historians ranked Jagland as the weakest Norwegian prime minister since the end of the Second World War, two years before, his predecessor Gro Harlem Brundtland had criticized his premiership in harsh terms and described Jagland as "stupid". Also his term as Foreign Minister was marked by controversies, due to his perceived lack of qualification for the office and quotes and statements that were considered inappropriate. Jagland was widely perceived to have been passed over when Jens Stoltenberg formed his second cabinet in 2005. “In 2009 Jagland was elected as the secretary-general of the Council of Europe. In 2014 he was reelected for an additional five years. His tenure as secretary-general has been controversial, and he has been accused of inaction against corruption and of servility towards Putin's Russia. Jagland is a member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee and formerly served as its chairman. “He proposed the European Union be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and it was, by Jagland himself in 2012. Since 1999, he has stated that the left wing in Norway does not use Socialist International enough. “He has outspokenly opposed the perceived presence of Islamophobia in Western societies. He has also called fighting Islamic extremism an "unnecessary fight", "that would only lead to confrontation", and insisted that no Islamic extremism exists in Norway." Obama’s Peace Prize has been gathering dust ever since it was bestowed upon him in 2009. Awarding the Peace Prize to Obama is akin to awarding it to someone who can blow dandelion fluff off North America’s most prolific weed, or awarding it to the housefly that once landed on Obama’s lip in the White House Rode Garden. As for Trump, no other U.S. president has been able to stop North Korea’s march toward nuclear weapons. President Trump has no need for a meaningless Noble Peace Prize when he already has worldwide respect for bringing the outlaw regime of Kim Jong-un to the peace table.
