Oslo, Norway
A Norwegian MP who nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize on Thursday considered that the US President did not deserve the award after all, given behavior since the loss of the November 2020 elections.
Deputy, member of anti-immigrant law, Christian Tybring-Gjedde, stressed that the candidacy he announced in September was justified at that time by the progress which, according to him, Donald Trump performed in the Middle East. But his behavior since the last election disqualifies him for the award, he added.
“It has achieved results in the Middle East for peace between Israel and several neighboring countries,” Tybring-Gjedde told TV2 Nyhetskanalen.

“There are many prizes for peace given to people who failed while he did. But when we see what happened after that and what just happened, winning that award would be totally unnatural, “he added.
Tybring-Gjedde and a Swedish MP nominated Donald Trump separately for Nobel Peace Prize 2021, the first for the role of the President out of the normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and the second for his rapprochement efforts between Serbia and Kosovo.
Donald Trump refused to accept defeat in the November 3 presidential election, and a rally of his supporters in Washington on Wednesday degenerated into violent episodes on the Capitol floor. A deadly violence that Trump has been accused of multiplying.
“After the electoral defeat […]He was practically mentally unstable, judging by his behavior, “said Tybring-Gjedde, who in 2018 also nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Prize.” I am ashamed of what he has done since the election. I should have accepted the defeat a long time ago. “

Tens of thousands of people (parliamentarians and ministers from all countries, former winners, some university professors, etc.) can apply for the Nobel Peace Prize.
For its part, the Nobel committee says it accepts all valid nominations, but says the nomination does not mean the body will promote the nomination.
