Michael A. Smith Associate Adjunct Professor at University of Maryland Global Campus Writer and Retired Pastor...  Join Me in Protesting Donald Trump as a Recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize The Nobel Peace Prize process is far more nuanced—and guarded—than most people realize. Let’s break it down, then explore how someone might respond to a controversial nomination like Donald Trump’s. How the Nobel Peace Prize Nomination Works Who Can Nominate: Only a select group can submit nominations, including: Members of national governments and parliaments, University professors in history, law, philosophy, theology, and political/social sciences, Former Nobel laureates, Members of international courts and peace institutes Deadline: Nominations must be submitted by January 31 each year. Review Process: The Norwegian Nobel Committee, a five-member body appointed by Norway’s Parliament, reviews all valid nominations. The process takes eight months, involving expert reports and deliberations. The winner is announced in October, and the award ceremony is held on December 10 Secrecy Clause: The full list of nominees is kept confidential for 50 years, so any public claims of nomination come from nominators—not the committee itself. · Does Donald Trump Deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? That’s a matter of intense debate. Trump has reportedly received nominations from leaders in Israel, Pakistan, Cambodia, and others, citing his role in ceasefires and diplomatic efforts like the Abraham Accords. However, critics argue that his record includes divisive rhetoric, criminal convictions, and undermining democratic norms—factors that many feel contradict the spirit of the Peace Prize. Historically, laureates like Martin Luther King Jr., Malala Yousafzai, and Nelson Mandela were honored for advancing human rights and reconciliation. The bar is high—and symbolic. Drafting a Letter to the Nobel Committee If you feel strongly about the integrity of the prize, here’s a sample letter you might adapt: To the Norwegian Nobel Committee, I am writing to express deep concern over the public campaign surrounding Donald Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. While the Committee’s process is rightly confidential and rigorous, the spectacle of a convicted felon lobbying for one of humanity’s most distinguished honors undermines the moral weight the prize has carried for over a century. The Nobel Peace Prize should reflect not just diplomatic transactions, but enduring contributions to justice, equity, and reconciliation. I urge the Committee to uphold its legacy by resisting politicized nominations that distort the meaning of peace. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Country] Where to Send Your Letter You can direct correspondence to: Norwegian Nobel Committee The Nobel Institute Henrik Ibsens gate 51 0255 Oslo, Norway Or you can email your letter to: Email: post@nobelpeacecenter.org |

Folks, Anybody who can see what is happening in today's world surely knows that Donald Trump is, nor can ever be a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize... There are too many points to include as documentation... however, here are the top few...
This man is a criminal and should never be eligible based upon previous indictments and convictions... Additionally has been impeached twice based upon the Constitution.
His very first act in this term of office was to eliminate aid to The World's children and starving. While supporting the continuation of wars led by authoritarian nations while moving against others, forcing money be paid to U.S.
Elimination of Public Schools which affects all but the rich in America...
Attempting to lie to eliminate all but non-white men from America... Attempting to claim one religion for all the World...
Taking people off the streets illegally against the constitution.
Implementing DEI...
There is NO PEACE in America...That should tell the real situation...
And, finally, by trying to delete the historical past of the United States of America!!!
