World leaders and politicians praise Trump's peacemaking efforts as they nominate him for prestigious award.
In an unprecedented move, world leaders, lawmakers, and even a Native American tribe have resorted to praising President
Donald Trump's peacemaking efforts in order to stay on his good side.
These groups are nominating the mercurial Republican president for the esteemed Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Prize, established by Albert Nobel's wishes, is awarded to individuals who contribute to 'fraternity between nations,' 'abolition or reduction of standing armies,' and 'holding and promotion of peace congresses.' Nominations for Trump have been ongoing since his first term in office, but he has become more vocal about his pursuit of the prize during his second term.
Fellow leaders, politicians, and others have taken notice of his aspirations.
Critics argue that Trump's policies, which have sown division both domestically and internationally, make him unsuitable for such a prestigious honor.
However, they acknowledge that these nominations are being driven by manipulation rather than genuine admiration for his achievements as a peacemaker.
On one occasion, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented Trump with a letter nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize, expressing his belief that Trump deserved the recognition.
Trump expressed gratitude towards Netanyahu, particularly coming from someone like him.
Additionally, a group of African leaders praised Trump's efforts in mediating an agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to bring peace to the region.
The White House spokesperson emphasized Trump's 'proven record' in securing peace worldwide.
Despite the secrecy surrounding Nobel Prize nominations, individuals such as university professors, heads of state, and past Nobel Prize recipients can submit them.
Past winners include former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama.
As Trump continues to seek recognition for his peacemaking efforts, supporters, including lawmakers, are rallying behind him.
Several have called on the Senate to nominate Trump or have expressed their support through social media platforms.
One Native American tribe also intends to nominate Trump, highlighting their belief in his dedication to promoting global peace.
However, critics argue that while Trump may have made efforts towards conflict resolution, his policies have contributed to division and unrest in various regions.
