President Barack Obama’s first act as a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2009 — nine months after he took the oath of office — was to try to wriggle out of accepting it.
“The morning the prize was announced, his staff investigated whether anyone had failed to travel to Oslo to receive their prize,” writes Nobel insider Geir Lundestad in “The World’s Most Prestigious Prize” (Oxford), out this month.
Apparently, the president was among the 61 percent of Americans who believed he didn’t deserve it.
“It is true, Obama did not do much before winning,” Lundestad, 74, a member of Norway’s Nobel Committee until 2014, told The Post.

Trump doesn't need anything from those communists. They need HIM, not the other way around.

Lets review some interesting history of previous winners of this "prestigious award": 2009-Barack H. Obama “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. 1994-Yasser Arafat “for efforts to create peace in the Middle East”. 1990-Mikhail Gorbachev “for his leading role in the peace process which today characterizes important parts of the international community” Yes, Gorbachev was recognized for LOSING the cold war, but Ronald Reagan was not recognized for WINNING it.
Like the fake news media, the Nobel Peace Prize has become meaningless because it now exists only to support a liberal, socialist agenda. One must wonder how Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler were passed over for this "honor".

Oh please, Hussein didn’t believe he deserved the prize. Who are you trying to kid. That guy believed he was the messiah. He was here to save the world. He thought any recognition of himself was deserved. In fact he still does. If he really believed he did not deserve the prize he should never have claimed the money.

The fact that our POTUS will not receive a Nobel Prize is actually a good thing at this point. The moment one was given to Obama for absolutely nothing cheapened the there-to-fore coveted recognition so at this point it means nothing at all to receive one...

Along the lines of this famous quote:
"I would never belong to a club that would have me as one of it's members",
I think Trumps response to the Nobel Prize should be:
"I'd never accept a prize that was given to so many people for doing nothing."

The Nobel Peace prize has as much validity as The Order of Lenin. Worthless.

Why would anyone want a prize from a Marxist organization?

The Nobel Peace Prize jumped the shark when they awarded it to that dirty little terrorist Arafat. When they gave it to Barry Soretoro not for anything he had done but for what they hoped he would do, the prize was reduced to a laughingstock. The wonder of wonders is that they didn't award it this year to Scoldilocks, who everyone was sure was a shoe-in to get the prize. Apparently some adults showed up to vote this year.

PDJT did not seek the Presidency for Money, Fame, or Prizes. He had achieved these goals a long time ago. Why anyone would seek office and reject those goodies baffles Career Politicians, who are incapable of reaching these goals without the framework of the Deep State and the Marxist Democrats to give it to them for nothing.

The Nobel Prize committees are hacks. Have been for a long time. Even in the sciences. If a real 'Superman' faced down hostile alien invaders, discovered faster-than-light space travel and saved humanity from extinction, he would be ignored, unless he had the proper politics.

Skin tone ranks highest in qualifications for receiving this prize.

So in essence, if you don’t think the way we do, ascribe to our ideology, and win our internal popularity contest, no prize for you regardless of your accomplishments! Nobel should plant his dynamite under the chairs of these pompous asses!

I believe that Alfred Nobel must be turning over in his grave. He wanted to honor people who had really done something to promote peace in the world, not promote political agendas. Considering that Obama was waging wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at the time, it proved how farcical it was to give the Peace Award to him.

The Nobel prize is now a token to present to Globalists and not for achievement. Poor old Nobel
