Although I need to preface this by saying that the Trump administration is one of the stupidest and pettiest in history, the Nobel peace price lost all credibility after it was awarded to Barack Obama for no reason. It seems to be a mechanism for trumpeting the political views of those on the committee.

the last peace price was also not very credible after the recipient... promptly tried to gift it to trump iirc.

What does that have to do with trump attempting to harm people?

  • Trump is upset about not getting the peace price Obama got, and the latest winner of the peace price was an ICC judge.

    He was already upset about the ICC existing after the ICC tried to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes, but the timing makes it obvious that is just the president of the United States of America is being petty here.

It was the Bush nomination which tainted the whole thing for me. That was ridiculous.

  • Bush nomination? You know there are hundreds of people that can nominate whoever they want? A nomination means nothing, they aren't coming from the Nobel committee.
