Holding and Promotion

Shinzo Abe may or may not have nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

But two Norwegian MPs, Per-Willy Amundsen and Christian Tybring-Gjedde, have already done so. And on the same grounds, that of Trump's work for peace in Korea.

Yes, Trump wants North Korea's coal for his own dynasty deep into the twenty-second century. And yes, he has done plenty of war-waging, with the threat of plenty more.

But plenty of previous recipients have had ulterior motives, and plenty have been belligerent in the round.

At the very least, Trump has done no less for peace, and he has no more for war, than Barack Obama ever did.
