Wow! What a surprise?! You mean realDonaldTrump didn’t get it?! Really?!

Even as the worldwide peace and justice movement continues to grow, we need help to solve our major crises of hunger and war. Historically, great teachers have always come forward in times of crisis. This moment is no exception. Consider the following:

realDonaldTrump brings peace to the middle east. Ends senseless wars and brings American soldiers home and lessons troops abroad to the lowest level in 80 years and these liberal idiots don't recognize. Wow. Worthless Nobel prize. TRUMP HATERS no itegrity.

Isn’t this the one that some idiot nominated Trump for

Nothing matters more than EndSarz now.

Ex Prez Obama recieved it and none of us including Barack could not figure out why-

CNN's base showing their wisdom once again...All 3 of Trumps nominations are for 2021.

America pays for how much of that?

Absolutely a joke. realDonaldTrump deserves this and YOU KNOW IT.

Trump deserved it.

Good

Dear , The youths of Nigeria are dying. Our creatives are being hunted and gunned down in broad daylight. Growing up as a kid, my eyes were set on screen watching your channel and how you “cared” for the world story Today, Nigeria burns, and we haven’t heard a word from you

Soon humanity will be offered a different way to live together. Imagine a world where hunger, war, and other unnecessary (man-made) problems have been eradicated through nations working together - sharing - instead of competing.

Trump next !

Congratulations!

Your attention is needed in Nigeria

I can’t. Everyone practically lives a lie..... WOW!!!!!! Evil will not prevail..... getting FAT like Sally Strutters, while using donations mostly for evil!!!

If the Democrats can't stop the wall, they can't get Biden elected! Supreme Court says border wall construction can continue

Can I still get credit for being nominated

So you have decided to only talk about issues concerning USA, Speak up about Police brutality in Nigeria EndSARSImmediately EndSARS

Oh damn. Trump missed out for his faux ‘Middle East peace deal’. What a crying shame. Said NO ONE ever. TrumpIsALoser

Did Everyone call Trump to remind him everything he did to never win a damn prize for anything related to Humanity. Someone should look up stupid person who suggested Trump except for Dogcatcher of the DAY. 25th Amendment ENACTED Now. Will Confirm Senate before World as Traitors.

The World Food Program wins Nobel Peace PrizeThe Nobel Committee said that the coronavirus pandemic has added to the hunger faced by millions of people around the world. They gave an award to a program from United Nations. Tomorrow the medicine Nobel will be the World Health Organization? What a joke. No surprise but still a joke. The Trump administration puts together diplomatic deals that all the blue-bloods claimed were impossible, and these clowns give the prize to a gaggle of blue-helmets. Trump should've won.
