OSLO — The World Food Program on Friday won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger and food insecurity around the globe.The Nobel Committee said that the coronavirus pandemic has added to the hunger faced by millions of people around the world and called on governments to ensure that WFP and other aid organizations receive the financial support necessary to feed them.
There was no shortage of causes or candidates on this year’s list, with 211 individuals and 107 organizations nominated ahead of the Feb. 1 deadline.However, the Norwegian Nobel Committee maintains absolute secrecy about whom it favors for arguably the world’s most prestigious prize. The award comes with a 10-milion krona cash prize and a gold medal to be handed out at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway, on Dec. 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel’s death. This year’s ceremony will be scaled down due to the pandemic.
On Monday, the Nobel Committee awarded the prize for physiology and medicine for discovering the liver-ravaging hepatitis C virus. Tuesday’s prize for physics honored breakthroughs in understanding the mysteries of cosmic black holes, and the chemistry prize on Wednesday went to scientists behind a powerful gene-editing tool. The literature prize was awarded to American poet Louise Glück on Thursday for her “candid and uncompromising” work.
😀 Great news!!!
Let's look at the donors from both sides on California Prop 16. It will tell you something. Big money and entrenched partisan interests are behind Prop. 16. One privileged billionaire couple (1/4)
Was Biden Chairman on the Board of The World Food Program USA?
Are you kidding? Then WFP has been established for what?
BULLSHIT, LIKE OBAMAS WIN.
Can you imagine Trump’s reaction if the WHO had won it?
A scheme to keep the award from Donald J. Trump.
riffraff55 BTW-Market Watch on NPR recently reported the Child hunger in the U.S. is higher now than at any time since the Great Depression. Thank-you President tRump!
The people of Yemen who have been experiencing a famine for a year or so would like to have a word
So Trump lost. Obama won in 2009. That’s the real reason Trump remains vindictive against Obama...Obama’s performance always has been superior to that of Trump. washingtonpost
Awarding oneself
Oh boy! Here comes the volley of insults from realDonaldTrump for not being awarded the Nobel Prize. He should be awarded the Noble Porn Prize for his all his 'contributions' he made to Stormy Daniels and the other porn stars he was involved with.
Hope they are teaching how to grow own food and birth control efucation
How soon until we find out the WFP members were misappropriating funds to hire prostitutes?
Wait, what? Trump didn’t win it?!! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Congrats WorldFoodProgram
The Nobel Committee went with a safe and largely non-controversial choice. In this insane year, I would have to call that smart.
Darn, thought Trump would win, too bad. I can hear him now..”it was rigged”
Nobel prize selection committee lacks credibility just like the corrupted WHO and tries to influence/impose socialist principles to steer world politics.
PeterMcCormack For ruining local african farmers? Yes really good job.
realDonaldTrump oh look. Not you. Guess those nominations you had people make didn't pay-off. Shame
I'm shocked neither trump or putin got it. Lol
'Who needs food' says Trump. 'Loser and suckers and fat people' says Trump. 'Hillary is on the Nobel Peace board' says Trump. 'FOOD!! , people choke on it like a DOG' says Trump... 'Nobel poop prize' is what i'll be calling it now says Trump...
Trump loses for efforts to cause hunger.
Trump disqualified from Nobel peace prize for inhumanity
Waiting for the Trump tweet storm.
JonLemire Quick!!! Give 🤡face another massive dose of steroids plz!!,... so he can rage violently on twitter and give us more comic relief and late night comedy show material!! 😍😍😆😆😆😂😂💪💪💪
JonLemire Awe!! That’s too bad!!,... I really did think 🤡face would win Nobel ‘piece’ prize, with his titanic destruction of USA and mass murder of hundreds of thousands of people!!,... soooo close 🤡face!,... almost had it TrumpVirus TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpIsACriminal 😍😍💪💪
Not Trump? Wow!
Well at least they pretend to do more than Obama. But honestly its a participation trophy at giving it to that joke.
But realDonaldTrump committed genocide/democide as a voter suppression tactic How was that not considered?
What!? Not Donnie Dollhands?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bunker trump will say it's rigged.
Has Trump asked for a recount yet?
Excellent news & congratulations to WFP ! TrumpAdministration senatemajldr needs to pass the stimulus package to address the food insecurity happening in our own country. NobelPeacePrize
The UN overspends in their own selves- they’re bankrupt- this is about asking for money
Maybe the orange menace will win the noble peace prize this time now that the Nobel peace prize has been awarded!!!😂😂
Up yours Donald!
SURELY Trump putting letters with his signature in food assistance boxes was Nobel-winning behavior? So tremendous.
Global international community rises to the challenge.
The mere fact world hunger still exists, given the amount of time, money, intelligence and pure love SHARED is cause for pause. How much effort by whom has it taken to perpetuate this scourge when in addition to above measures survival is instinctual?
😂 isn’t that what they supposed to do! Liberal have destroyed everything worth an effort.... laughable
Sorry .realDonaldTrump. Slighted again.
💙💙💙💙💙✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Damn. I thought Trump was a shoo-in. There’s always next year.
EvanLSolomon AW Trump didn't win
NBCPhiladelphia ABC6 CBSPhilly 69News FOX29philly TelemundoNews CNN ABC NYTIMES WASHINGTONPOST MSNBC CBSNEWS FOXNEWS BBCWorld Reuters Congratulations! Well deserved choice! All over our great world. People needed help. Just one slice of bread and water. USA
EvanLSolomon How ironic. The same organization whose lockdowns sent 300 million to the unemployment line and added 100 million plus to the starvation line wins a Nobel prize for combating hunger. Sick world.
realDonaldTrump No soup for you! Perhaps you can ask Miami Cubans to give you another fake award to soothe your fragile ego.
Trump nominated for 2021.
$8/$10, from the purchase of any album on my website will be donated to WFP, when you enter the code WFP. Please donate as you wish.
JonLemire Kindness wins.
Good
Happy for WFP to get the recognition.
A hunger in which the U.S. president has helped facilitate with his poor Covid-19 response which led to mass unemployment & evictions, not to mention his separation of asylum-seeking families at the border. What's the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize?
JonLemire How long until realDonaldTrump calls it the Fake Food Program?
EvanLSolomon Hey Twitter... you know President Trump was nominated for 2021 right?
I am not a Trump supporter but I do believe that he deserved the prize for his work in Middle East peace at the very least
But I thought RealDonaldTrump was a shoe-in.
Trump’s gonna blow another gasket. Not that I really care if he does.
Gosh I thought it would be trump😂
Too bad for habitual loser realDonaldTrump
They should take prize money and buy chickfilA for homeless
You mean Trump didn’t get it? I thought since he was nominated, he was sure to get it.....NOT!
Trump brought the peace of the grave to 220,000 Americans. Does that qualify?
So This Org Won Because It Kept People From Dying Of Hunger. But Trump Wanted The Price Even Though At The Moment He’s Keeping His Citizens Going Hungry Unless They Vote For Him. Ok Got It.
roger_senesac Breaking: realDonaldTrump doesn't win shit!!
Just in case for those wondering, Trump was nominated for the 2021, not 2020 - calm down 😂
Shockingly (not) nominees , Trump and Putin got passed over. Go figure, the Nobel Prizes haven't been corrupted .
realDonaldTrump wins the 2020 Nobel Conflict and Incompetence Prize for his efforts to spread lies, create conflicts and divide the American people
Should have been this guy
Get ready DumDumDonnie angry tweets will be on speed dial any minute now 😂😷
So Trump wasn't able to con his way into the prize with his fake peace deals?
Good for them. Very deserving.
“With this year’s award, the (committee) wishes to turn a blind eye to the millions of people who will benefit from the peace process between Israel and Arab countries, initiated by realDonaldTrump ,” meant Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
¡No Nobel Peace Prize for you! realDonaldTrump TrumpIsALoser AGAIN! Tantrum in 3. 2. 1. 💥
Interesting. I thought the peace prize was “no longer relevant.”

Is this the prize Trump was to get?!
“I think this is the first time in my life I've been without words,' WFP’s head David Beasley told from Niger. 'I was just so shocked and surprised.”
JonLemire Let the count down begin...
Fixed
Seems realDonaldTrump is not awake yet.
Hey guys. Obama received a Nobel Peace prize. This idiot will never get one.
Bitcoin has broken records for how long it has stayed above $10k. Square, INC just bout $50 million worth! Now bitcoin is making a move to $11k!! Thank goodness we can just buy small amounts at a time. Not many people will be able to afford a whole one soon!
Interesting. Yet the world is still starving.
Joke
The Mango moron is going to have a tantrum
Since Obama got one for absolutely nothing, he should give his to Trump at least.
Somebody call the president. Tweet storm should be fun.
Oh shoot. 45 going to appeal.
Wasn't Trump supposed to win this? He's always combating hunger....have you seen the size of the fat bastard.
Drumpf: What has the World Food Program ever done for me? I'm always hungry!

What? It didn’t go to the American Terrorist Cult Leader, Trump?! UNFAIR!
So they just made the enemies list of the President, then?
Wait till he find out he didn't win...
Quickly, lets hide this from Donald Trump He could use the issue to run on it. His Voters are against helping world's poor so hey, you never know, he could win the Nobel Prize for: Hey what the Heck?
Could we now get the Peace Prize back from Obama, who bombed 8 countries, started two wars, and give it as a second prize this year, to somebody who deserves it?
Trump is REALLY going to lose it now. He brought peace to areas in the ME that weren’t in conflict!
Trump is going to be so pissed
Someone is going to have another tantrum, realDonaldTrump
Someone will go on a tweet rage now..
Trump rant incoming
Uh oh here come the tweets from you know who claiming it was rigged
Basically, the NobelPrize committee in 2020 decided to take no side, and gave the prize to nobody
Someone’s going to be pissed....
And not to Trump? Gosh, I’m shocked. I thought that nomination by that far right politician really clinched it for him.
nice
