The world has by no means seen the chief of a rustic, particularly a president of the US, whine, cajole, demand and threaten one other nation over one thing as petty as a prize, even probably the most prestigious prizes of all of them, a Nobel Peace Prize, like President Donald Trump has achieved since beginning his second time period in workplace.
Trump is obsessive about the consideration after President Barack Obama received it in 2009 for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen worldwide diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
Trump’s fixation was on stark show as soon as once more on the finish of a speech to world leaders on the first assembly of Trump’s Board of Peace Thursday morning, Feb. 19, in Washington, when he at first mistook a letter from Norway as an announcement that he had received the prize.

What adopted subsequent clearly confirmed his actual intentions in forming the Board of Peace, which he claims is to assist rebuild Gaza after the territory was annihilated by Israel’s ongoing battle in opposition to Hamas.
“I’m excited to introduced that Norway has agreed to host an occasion bringing collectively the Board of Peace,” Trump started, earlier than realizing it wasn’t what he thought it was.
“Oh, I assumed once I noticed this observe that ‘I’m excited to announce that Norway,’ I assumed they had been going to say they’re giving me the Nobel Prize,” a bitter Trump groused earlier than altering his voice and mocking his scripted speech.
“Oh, that is much less thrilling. Oh, it says, ‘I’m excited to announce that Norway,’ and I’m saying, ‘Nice, I’m lastly getting a Nobel Prize. Lastly. Lastly, they acquired it proper, however I don’t care,” a petty Trump falsely claimed after demanding the consideration for months, regardless that the federal government of Norway has nothing to do with awarding the distinguished prize.
However he wasn’t completed, dishonestly declaring once more that the prize is meaningless to him.
“I don’t care concerning the Nobel Prize. I care about saving lives, simply so that you perceive.”

Once more, Norway’s authorities has nothing to do with who will get a Nobel Peace Prize. The five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee decides who wins the prize. And the assembly Norway was referring to within the letter to Trump is the Advert-Hoc Liaison Committee (AHCL) spring gathering to assist increase help for Palestinians in war-torn Gaza.
It’s a gaggle Norwegians have led for the reason that mid-Nineties, when it was created after the 1993-1995 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Group, which sought to dealer a peace by means of a two-state answer, in accordance with Reuters.
