According to one UK betting parlor, Paddy Power:

Pope Francis - 50/1
Vladamir Putin - 50/1
Carlose Puigemont - 25/1
Angela Merkel - 35/1
Donald Trump - 4/1
Kim Jung-un - 1/3 (Yes, that's right. One to one third, in other words.)

This seems to be in keeping with the Nobel Peace Prize committee's tradition of rewarding mentally deficient world leaders for giving peace lip service.

Paddy Power sponsored Dennis Rodman's trip to North korea and gave Kim Jong-Un gifts, so I'll take their odds with a very large pinch of salt.
 
I gave up on the legitimacy of the Nobel Peace Prize years ago, handing it to Kim Jong-Un or Trump or Putin ends the debate.

We might as well be honoring Saudi Arabia for women's rights.
 

If you idea is correct Trump would be a shoe in
 

You upset that KJU is leading Trump?

You confuse me with the members of the Nobel committee. Your inquiries should be directed to Oslo.

Paddy Power sponsored Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea and gave Kim Jong-Un gifts. Not surprising that they have made him favourite; they have history with him.

Nothing, what has trump done, nothing. That said I doubt Paddy Power is s good source of who is actually on the short list of possible winners, but if this truly is the list then the Nobel is a joke.
