I guess that this is something that Donald Trump will continue to his dying day. Once again, out of the blue and dispositive of nothing, Trump began to talk about how he shouda woulda coulda won the Nobel Peace Prize. Evidently it’s not enough that he has the actual physical prize in his possession. He’s pissed at Norway and he refuses to believe that the Nobel Committee operates independently of Norway. Okay. If you don’t want to know the rules and the truth, then I guess you stay in your dreamworld and here is what that sounds like.

He saved “millions and millions” of people in “eight wars.” Anybody able to name one of those wars? We know it’s not Ukraine, that we know for certain. Seriously, I wish Mary Trump or some other psychologist would come forth and explain Nobel Syndrome.
Is Trump obsessed with this because Obama got the prize? Is that it? Or is it something deeper. Enquiring minds want to know. My best guess is that now that he has the physical medal that he wants the Nobel Committee to change its mind and give him the award. Will.Not.Happen.
“Is Trump obsessed with this because Obama got the prize? Is that it?”
IMHO, that is exactly it — no more complicated explanation is needed. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States…
It’s not just Obama. As I pointed out yesterday another American BLACK man was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Yep, Martin Luther King, Jr. was honored. AND has a national holiday named after him which Trump did all he could to ignore yesterday. No wonder he’s pouting so much!
Need I say more?

The Nobel Committee has a long-standing policy that no one who expresses desire for or lobbies for a Peace Prize ever gets one or is even considered. Bravo Donald for buggering yourself.
Jarvis, you have read too much into the actual policies of the Nobel Committee. I have included them below, as summarized by AI Overview. True, nobody can nominate himself; see the first policy below. However, the committee has no policy prohibiting a person’s asking a qualified person (see the second policy) to nominate him. The third policy, keeping the process confidential, is an effort to reduce lobbying, and perhaps it is quite successful. However, the Norwegian Parliament appoints the Peace Prize Committee members, so their identity is not secret. Asking committee members to vote for you and bribing them are probably counterproductive behaviors, but no policy of the committee forbids members from voting for a person who has bribed them.
It may very well be understood by Nobel Peace Prize Committee members that a person who campaigns for the peace prize doesn’t deserve it, but that is not an official policy.
AI Overview
Yes, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has a strict policy regarding the nomination process that acts as a prohibition against individuals actively seeking or campaigning for the award for themselves.
Here are the key details regarding this policy:
Self-Nomination is Invalid: According to the Nobel Prize organization, “a personal application for an award will not be considered,” and “a nomination for yourself will not be taken into consideration”.
Qualified Nominators Only: Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize must be submitted by eligible individuals (such as university professors, heads of state, or former laureates).
Confidentiality: The nomination process is kept secret for 50 years to prevent lobbying from influencing the outcome.
Strict Deadline: All nominations must be submitted by January 31st each year to be considered for that year’s prize.
While some political figures may be nominated by others in attempts to raise their profile, the committee’s rules and procedures are designed to exclude self-promotion or direct solicitation for the prize.
