Why? Do they have rules against that?


There doesn't need to be. Basic dignity and logical thinking tell you that an award for honest efforts to facilitate peace awarded to MLK and Mother Teresa cannot be awarded to someone like Donald Trump. And you see that obviously the Nobel committee shares this opinion, which is why he luckily did not receive it.


Mother Teresa made a fetish out of suffering..


Have you checked some of the winners? Arafat is there and so are Kissinger - the napalm sticks on kids guy and Obama - the guy that shot hospitals and weddings in Afghanistan. Trump will fit right in.


To be fair, when Obama got the prize, he hadn't done any of that, yet, because he got it right away before he did anything.


If I remember correctly, even the man himself later admitted to being thoroughly confused as to why he would get it.
