The biggest news yesterday was that US President Trump won the Nobel Peace Prize. For Trump himself, this news also made him "excited", so after hearing this news, he sent 17 updates on social media to respond to the matter in one go.
After the news came out, it immediately caused a big sensation in American society. Trump's supporters cared for and celebrated this, while some Americans said that Trump's nomination was "incredible" and mocked Trump's actions for being completely unrelated to the word "peace".

When it comes to Trump's nomination this time, he should not mention his nominee - Gide, the head of the Norwegian delegation of the NATO Congress.
In the nomination letter, Gid praised Trump's efforts to "resolve protracted conflicts" and said that Trump played a key role in promoting the normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel.
In fact, this is not the first time Trump has won the Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and Jid is not an unfamiliar name to Trump. After the "Gente Conference" in 2018, Gide joined another Norwegian MP to nominate Trump as a candidate for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize, but in the end Trump did not get what he wanted.
Two years later, Gide nominated Trump as a candidate for the Nobel Prize again. It is indeed difficult to explain whether there is a transfer of interests behind this. But it is worth noting that after nominating Trump again, Gid also emphasized that it was not to please the latter, and said that he was not a strong supporter of Trump. Whether
is "Is there really this matter" or "no silver here" depends on how the outside world interprets it.

How to describe how eager Trump is to win the Nobel Prize? "I dream of it."
In 2019, Trump failed to win the Nobel Prize as he wished. Afterwards, he repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the selection committee, saying that the process was not good for him. Trump believes that if the Nobel Prize could be a "fair way", he would have been awarded the award long ago.
Looking at the 45 presidents of the United States, only 5 of them have won the Nobel Prize. They are Roosevelt (1902), Wilson (1920), Carter (2002), and Obama in 2009.
What kind of attitude Trump has towards Obama is naturally not necessary to elaborate on. Trump has repeatedly compared himself with Obama to why the latter won the Nobel Peace Prize just 9 months after taking office, but he has been unable to do so for a long time, making more "contributions".
As the most valuable award in the world's awards field, Trump has always had an obsession with the Nobel Peace Prize. This obsession not only comes from his own great joy, but also comes from his jealousy towards his ex-President Obama.

Since it is an award presentation, the most important topic is naturally "Is this person worthy of this honor". Gide's reason for nominating Trump was "for participating in mediating the normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel", but has Trump really done it?
From a practical point of view, the peace agreement reached between Israel and the UAE is actually very limited in helping promote regional peace and stability. For more than 0 years, Israel has regarded Iran as its biggest opponent in the Middle East and is trying to point regional contradictions to Iran. Gulf countries represented by the UAE also regard Iran, whose regional influence is growing, as a potential threat. As for the U.S.-Iran relationship, let alone, Tehran has always been Washington's primary sanctions target.
Based on the above common interests, under Trump's "matchmaking", Israel and the UAE reached a so-called peace treaty. But the ultimate profiter of the treaty is likely Trump himself, who hopes to boost his election situation by integrating the relationship between Israel and the UAE.
Obviously, Trump cannot meet the heavy honor of the Nobel Peace Prize.

But then again, nomination does not mean that it will eventually win the award. According to data released by the Nobel Committee, there are more than 300 nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, including not only senior officials from countries like Trump, but also professors from ordinary universities.
Therefore, there is no need to be too serious about Trump's nomination. Trump has no substantial diplomatic achievements. The nomination in this case only shows that the Nobel Peace Prize nomination criteria are indeed a bit funny sometimes.
