A group of GOP lawmakers has officially nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The “resistance” crowd is reacting EXACTLY like you’d expect them to.
A group of 18 Republican lawmakers have signed their names to a letter formally nominating President Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize — the latest development in a growing push to award the president the honor for his work toward peace in the Korean Peninsula.
The letter, sent by Rep. Luke Messer, R-Ind. to the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Tuesday, and signed by 17 other members, says Trump has worked “tirelessly to apply maximum pressure to North Korea to end its illicit weapons programs and bring peace to the region.”
“His Administration successfully united the international community, including China, to impose one of the most successful international sanctions regimes in history,” the letter says. “The sanctions have decimated the North Korean economy and have been largely credited for bringing North Korea to the negotiating table.”
You can read the whole letter here!
The letter is signed by 17 other members, including Reps Mark Meadows, R-N.C., Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., Diane Black, R-Tenn., and Steve King, R-Iowa.
“Although North Korea has evaded demands from the international community to cease its aggression for decades, President Trump’s peace through strength policies are working and bringing peace to the Korean peninsula,” the letter says. “We can think of no one more deserving of the Committee’s recognition in 2019 than President Trump for his tireless work to bring peace to our world.”
This is all HUGE stuff, folks.
The nomination is for the 2019 prize, as the 2018 award nomination period ended in February. According to the Nobel Prize’s website, a nomination is considered valid if submitted by persons in certain categories — including “members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of state.” There are 330 candidates for the 2018 prize, which will be announced in October.
And of course, the heads are already exploding:
Not: The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to those that use peaceful means to secure peaceful outcomes.
Trump almost started a nuclear war….automatic disqualification!!!

These people seem mentally challenged:

This person obviously feels the need to say the same thing over and over.
This news must have them glitching out.
For what? As far as I know North Korea still has Nuclear Weapons and nothing has been agreed.. They have played this game before.. so you want to give him the Nobel peace prize because.. can’t wait for all the snowflakes to respond with Obama got it for doing nothing.. 😂

Can you IMAGINE how hard Robert would be salivating if Obama made this kind of progress, though?
Oh look, another indoctrinated, poorly-educated Texas woman eloquently supporting Trump with a lackluster choice of gif.
See the world. Meet different people. Learn something. (Or die ignorant, doesn’t matter.)

HAHAHA. I just looooove it when liberals play the “please get out more” card.
“See the World.” LOVE IT.
This person probably went on a cruise once and feels like some kind of bigwig.
I’ve been all over South East Asia, Western Africa, Western Europe, Central and North America. My experiences have cemented my belief in American exceptionalism, strengthening my Conservative values. Seriously, try me.
Hello from Norway. If Trump won the Nobel Peace Prize, he would not be welcome here.

This chick speaks for Norway, by the way.
Please specify GOP, because the rest of America doesn’t see threatening little rocket man with fire and fury as Nobel Peace worthy.

Lol…..
Why?
Is it for banning muslims, refusing refugees, retweeting hate videos, calling predominantly black nations S-holes, telling over 3,000 documented lies since taking office or calling white supremacists in Charlottesville “very fine people?”

Did Trump announce his resignation? If so…yeah…give it to him.

The actual person that deserves it is the S Korean President, he’s the adult between 2 children.

I meeeean… the South Korean president ACTUALLY SAID THAT TRUMP DESERVES THIS…
So that makes you look dumb, huh?
Treasonous acts hurt Patriots. Traitors comply
