Obama got the prize 9 months into his term having accomplished absolutely nothing at that point...not that he accomplished anything after that either but that's besides the point......he got it for simply showing up....that's it!

Trump on the other hand has real accomplishments in the middle east.

I voted Trump, but only if he gets it for dying.

Where is the "None of the above" option?

There should have been a "None of the above" option.

None of them deserve(d) a Nobel Peace prize.

Sure as heck Obama didn't and for the same reasons Trump doesn't.

Trump will never in this lifetime get a Nobel Prize in any category.

Arafat was a terrorist....period.

Maybe. But of the 3 choices offered, he was the most deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize.

I played by the rules.

For an award that conservatives say means nothing you all sure talk about it a lot!!! Can't wait for Time Person of the year announcement soon, that normally ruffles feathers as well.

Um, speaking of THAT DAY...can you imagine the celebrating? The ****ing planet is going to shake from all the dancing.

And where ever he’s interned will become THE national urinal.

I plan on leaving a big steaming heap of respect on his grave before I die.

Yes.

Trump has real accomplishments in the middle east, mostly that of needless killing of people and needless aiding and abetting in the killing of people, especially innocent men women and children, including the unborn!

Granting ersatz president Trump a Nobel Peace Prize, considering the truth of reality, would be as big a hypocrisy to humanity as was granting one to Arafat and granting one to President Obama.

You forget that he also abandoned the Kurds who had been our allies.

That's an "accomplishment."

In a universe in which the two other options are Barack Obama and Orange Nazi dude.

The 1994 prize went to Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, and Yitzhak Rabin. Arafat was able to have the PLO recognized by Israel as the governing body for the West Bank and take police control over dozens of cities while Arafat agreed to recognize Israel. Nothing so far along had ever been accomplished before nor since. Yes, he was a terrorist. Anybody w/o a country that lives in the country that is not theirs and engages in armed conflict with the occupants as the enemy is a terrorist. As were the original Israelite in their armed engagement tactics.

Trump? Are you serious? Trump? :2rofll:

Bringing home troops, bartering peace deals in the middle east among Arab countries and Israel. And Barack did what? They even said his Nobel prize was given based on the anticipation of what he might do.

Obama did not deserve the prize and said so.

Trump has increased US troops in the ME and sent more arms to Yemen, contributing to increased conflict there, and to Saudi Arabia, arming more anti-Israel nation that also send arms to the Yemen conflict, while breaking the Iran agreement, motivating Iran to move forward faster with their nuclear armament program. Trump also promoted communist dictator Kim on the world stage, previously unavailable to him by previous US presidents and other democratic nation leaders, and has defended Putin against our allies who know he killed his political competition and whistleblower, and defended the Saudi crown prince after our own IS confirmed he had a hand in the murder and dismemberment of US resident and journalist Khashoggi. Not things that should support confirmation for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Not that I care what a progressive from Canada thinks about U.S politics......but it was Obama who set up the horrible and stupid deal with Iran...Not Trump.

Trump got us out of that stupid thing and then seriously put pressure on Iran to come to the table.
