Lesson: Novelty Peace Prize
US President Donald J. Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. AGAIN! Do you remember who nominated him the first time? For the 2021 prize, he has already been nominated twice for the Israel-UAE agreement and the Serbia-Kosovo agreement. Now, anyone can be nominated for a Nobel Prize. Other than good ol’ Trumpy, Michael Jackson and Adolf Hitler are two other outrageous examples that come to mind. However, it’s beginning to look like anyone can win, too. Obama was pre-awarded a Nobel for the work it was expected he would accomplish, and Ann Sung Su Kii won, then later participated in the coverup of a genocide. We are living in strange times that become stranger by the moment. Every day is an adventure.
