Ryan Bridge: Why I think Trump won't win the Nobel Peace prize

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

In a few hours we'll know who's won the Nobel Peace Prize.  It's the world's most prestigious award, and Trump wants it really, really badly.  Every year since 1901, a bunch of Norwegians sit around a table and sort through their candidates.  This year there's almost 330 entries. Four US Presidents have previously won it: Obama, Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson - Jimmy Carter got his two decades after he left office.  But one man wants it more than anyone else, and Benjamin Netanyahu's just tweeted that Trump should win it. The criteria? The prize goes to whoever has done the most for fraternity between nations, whoever gets rid of or reduces the size of armies, and whoever promotes peace.  Basically, who's really good at peace.  Here's the thing, Trump's not going to win this.  They met and decided on Monday. That was before this Gaza deal was announced.  It actually isn't even for this year. It relates to 2024 or prior. Trump wasn't even in office at that point and applications closed only a month into his second term. He's pulled out of Paris and WHO, and they don't like that kind of thing. Look I may be proven wrong in a couple hours, but my money's on Trump not winning this thing.  And if it doesn't happen, if he doesn't get his wish, look out, because he'll probably declare war on Norway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
