Oh my God people, have you ever heard of the right-wing tactic "owning the libs"? Doing stuff for no substantive purpose, just to get under liberals' skins? That's what's going on right now among some liberals. Trump was nominated, again, for the Nobel Peace Prize. Two days ago, September 9, a far-right member of Norway's Parliament, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, announced on Facebook that he had nominated Trump for the potemkin Israel-UAE "peace" deal. Then yesterday, September 10, a member of Sweden's Parliament, Magnus Jacobsson, announced on Twitter that he had nominated "the US gov. and the governments of Kosovo and Serbia for the Nobel Peace Prize for their joint work for peace and economic development, through the cooperation agreement signed in the White House. Trade and communications are important building blocks for peace".
These are obviously not serious nominations, just look at who made the nominations, where they made the nominations, what they made the nominations for (a trade deal???), look at Jacobsson's grammar, and look at the Trump campaign's dramatic announcement of the honor: “President Trump was nominated for the Noble Peace Prize.”
Obvious trolling but, nonetheless, Tybring-Gjedde and Jacobsson and their amplifiers on Red Fox, et al succeeded in running their nails down some liberals' blackboards, notably that of Graeme Wood, a staff writer for The Atlantic who today, September 11, called for ending Nobel Peace Prizes permanently because of this outrage. Wood fell for this to the point of meeting Tybring-Gjedde in a cafe in Oslo to interview him. To add ominous emphasis Wood noted parenthetically "(The announcement will come on October 9.)"
All Graeme Wood had to do to realize he was being trolled was Google news, click on a story, click on "full coverage," go to the bottom--all the way down about half the page--of the clutch of articles and he would have seen this:
Frequently asked questions
How do you get nominated for Nobel Peace Prize?
In order to be considered for the award of the year, nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize shall be sent in to the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo before the 1st day of February the same year. Nominations postmarked and received after this date are included in the following year's discussions.
Which is why I emphasized the dates of the nominations in the first paragraph.
And if you click on the source, which btw is nobelprize.org, sounds kinda official, you get this nifty graphic:
So the Trump and "US gov. and the governments of Kosovo and Serbia" nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize are for the award to be announced not four weeks before the 2020 presidential election but in October 2021 by which time Trump will be in prison.
Wood would have seen in addition, had he bothered to go to nobelprize.org:
Are the nominations made public?
The statutes of the Nobel Foundation restrict disclosure of information about the nominations, whether publicly or privately, for 50 years. The restriction concerns the nominees and nominators...
Which is why I emphasized the public media on which these nominations were announced. Statutes sound like "laws" to moi and if they are then Tybring-Gjedde and Jacobsson have violated Nobel "law" with their bad-faith publicity stunts.
And finally, if Wood coulda stopped his itchy typing fingers for just a few hours more he would have seen this:
In conclusion, Graeme Wood, all other liberals thrown into a tizzy about this, go away.
