He wasn't awarded one.
Someone physically giving him one doesn't count.
This is a really poor pot stirring thread.
To me it would seem to count more that the awardee thinks someone was more deserving and decided as a gesture to give it to him (he tried to refuse, she insisted) and I assume its a "copy" put into a fancy frame with a flattering certificate.
Who is more able to determine a true arbiter of peace? The Norwegians voting on a coin named after the Swedish guy who invited dynamite (basis for which we measure the impact of nuclear weapons - ironic)? The Swedish foundation overseeing dynamite rich mans lasting fortune?
Or is the opposition leader in exile the one who recognizes a true peacemaker?
People laughing this gesture off as a petty stroke of Trump's ego sound pretty and frankly jealous (not directed at you or anyone in particular).
Jesus Christ, the Patrick Roy level of goaltending never stops.

TDS circle complete. Ervin Burrell has once again shown up on a politics thread for the 1000th time to not discuss actual policies or issues

It's kinda like a celebrity being given an honorary college.
Yah, it's nice - but it's not like he was officially awarded the 'prize' (although, he clearly deserves one).
But, it's actually more fun that she gave away the prize she was awarded to someone she felt more deserving.

I figured Trump getting a Nobel would be big news around here.
Do we think he gets another after freeing Greenland and reducing drug prices by 300, 400, or even 500%?

How does one "sound pretty"?

A Norwegian gave away a prize that is given by Norwegians to a Nazi in exchange for the release of another Norwegian during war.
Do you even bother to look at how these are not even remotely comparable? Or is it really a result of the left being completely inept at memes?

If Jerry Rice gave me one of his rings does that mean I won the Super Bowl?

It wasn't given as a gee whiz Mr. President, you are really the one who deserves this prize. It was given because Machado is buttering up Trump to give her what she actually wants, legitimacy to govern her country. And given that her party actually won the election, maybe we should hand it to friends of Democracy instead of controlling an autocratic regime puppet?

The fact that he accepted it is hilariously pathetic
To answer the OP, that's why it hasnt been discussed. Not an appropriate topic for the fan club here.
No one cares because it's been a meaningless award for decades

I would love to see how he is going to reduce drug prices by 500%.
OP clearly wasn't a stem major.

"I'm Norwegian, we give a Nobel Prize to somebody who deserved it and suddenly that Nobel Prize is going to somebody else. It's so strange, so strange and that's why I'm happy specifically now that we have laws that say that if you misuse the Nobel Prize we take it away from you. Somebody in power in the United States may be disappointed. He will lose it… I am happy."

Obama got his Nobel for not being George W. Bush.
Trump equally qualified then.
