No-bell, no cigar, just noise: Why Donald Trump is unlikely to win the Nobel Peace Prize this year

Wait 5 sec.

Trump is obsessed with the Peace Prize. He mentions it at rallies, he hounds his allies, he discusses it with enemies, he literally demands world leaders nominate him for it and even threatens Norway with tariffs if Oslo doesn’t give him one. Take this year’s UN General Assembly, where Trump, while complaining about escalators and teleprompters, claimed he had “stopped seven wars” — Israel–Iran, India–Pakistan, Armenia–Azerbaijan, Congo–Rwanda, Serbia–Kosovo, Egypt–Ethiopia, and even Thailand–Cambodia.
