JUST IN: 2020 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the World Food Programme 'for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in effort to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict”

The body was rewarded for"its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict," said Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chair of the Nobel Committee.

"In the face of the pandemic, the World Food Programme has demonstrated an impressive ability to intensify its efforts," she added. The Rome-based organization is the world’s largest humanitarian group addressing hunger and promoting food security. In 2019, it provided assistance to close to 100 million people in 88 countries who are victims of acute food insecurity and hunger.

Well-deserved! Keep up the great work!

Fun Fact: Not one world leader has won a Nobel Peace Prize for waging war against his own country.

What about Chef Jose Andres? He has been a FORCE when it comes to feeding people in need. World Central Kitchen has saved millions of lives thru humanitarian aid. Disappointed.

Well deserved

So realDonaldTrump lost. Sad!

cool

Don't worry I'm sure Bill Barr will be investigating the voting.

WillieGeist Wait, I thought Trump should have won. He's been impeached, allowed American soldiers to have bounties on their heads, is negligent in the deaths of over 150,000 American citizens, has personally spread the virus around his closest friends and staff, is on drugs, & is an asshole

Whaat? Not Trump?

So Donnie did not get it?Damn America will be punished today with unhinged tweets from steriod boy

Question? Is Trump going to sic Bill Barr on the World Food Organization because he thinks they stole his Nobel Peace Prize? I hear he’s claiming the voting was rigged.

So realDonaldTrump you didn’t win. Awww too bad.

Proving again that the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke.

bayounger Uh oh. The orange shitgibbon is gonna be pissed. Tweetstorm coming in 3...2....1.....

Fake news...our Big Mac in Chief should have won hands down, bigly...as biggliest in the history of Big Macs!

And the completely unhinged rantings of a mental case sitting in the White House will being in 3, 2,1...

The NPP lost its relevance once it was awarded to Obama for no other reason than a participation trophy.

realDonaldTrump Just in case you forget, BarackObama has a NobelPeacePrize

WillieGeist Barr better indict the Nobel committee. This is so rigged.

Oh so it’s not Con man trump? 😂😂😂😂

Meanwhile, in Washington DC, a certain someone is being told he won the Piece Prize (because he is a piece of work), just to calm him down and not start a war in the next 2 months. 25thAmendmentNow TrumpIsANationalDisgrace COVID19 TrumpIsUnwell

Awww so Biden doesn’t win.

Trump not happy about this award to a more deserving recipient. Trump hopes dashed and the election is also out of his reach. God's Awesome 👌 👏

What? Are they crazy? The biggest peace deal in U.S. history just went down with Israel and the Middle East on American soil this year and they are bypassing the award to realDonaldTrump for a bread program?

WillieGeist BarackObama I still laugh every time I see this! HAHAHAHAHA!

I can't believe realDonaldTrump didn't win for his brave and bold decisions on all those things he claimed to do, not just for himself but for the good of his family. Injustice occurs everyday but I'm not sure there's been a bigger miscarriage of justice than Trump not winning.

They could have awarded it to a person instead of an org. that is entirely funded by individual countries. According to this logic, the other Nobels could have been prized to the universities or laboratories in which the scientists worked instead awarding them individually.

What? You mean tRump didn’t win!

WillieGeist Alfred Nobel learned what people really thought of him by reading his obituary when they mistakenly thought he had died. He created the Nobel Peace Prize to mitigate their ire realDonaldTrump would never do such a thing

What a load of BS!!!! Trump Negotiates actual peace something that no other president has done. Still a food program wins over Trump? We are truly living in bizarro world.

Deadline for nominations was Feb 1 so recent nominations of Trump are for next year. Thanks haters for showing that you didn't read article.

trump's food program couldn't win a Nobel.

Congratulations to the World Food Program. Well deserved! And condolences to both donald and vladimir for being gigantic losers.

Nobel Peace Prize Committee

WillieGeist So, they don't award the peace Prize for fake peace deals but for actual hero's? realDonaldTrump is gonna be pissed

Lee_in_Iowa Oh no....we’re going to hear about this...How many days will the lunatic rage over this “rigged” process?

WillieGeist

Giving it to organizations and not to politicians is a good idea. The world is lacking political leadership right now.

Food Crisis Grows Amid Coronavirus PandemicThe coronavirus pandemic has markedly increased the number of people acutely in need of food around the world, humanitarian experts say. Appears the Trump admin is now the biggest spreader of COVID-19, even with all the best medical treatment available (most of which they have not made available to Americans), and yet Trump Republicans STILL have no national plan. VOTE for your life! The *pandemic* has ... ... or OUR REACTION has ... Are the numbers we *fear* even meaningful? Beware the Hegelian Dialectic.
