Donald Trump currently seems to be the outsider in the duel for the White House against challenger Joe Biden.
Perhaps a Norwegian will help him catch up.
Donald Trump wants to be confirmed as US President on November 3rd with all his might.
For this, however, the Republican urgently needs positive news in the corona-afflicted country in the duel with Joe Biden *.
A Norwegian politician raises a high sign for the militant head of state and demands a prestigious prize.
Oslo / Munich - Donald Trump * prefers to communicate via
.
The US President does not have to fear any contradictions from the journalists who are simply annoying in his eyes.
Or even cracking counterattacks from political opponents.
If there is, the 74-year-old can simply ignore it.
The vast majority of his
85.8 million followers
would hardly be bothered by it.
So: Twitter.
Several times a day, sometimes every minute, Trump speaks on his channel.
Or retweet messages that let him shine in the best possible light.
In this way, he also drew attention to a report from the
friendly broadcaster “FOX News”
, which could give the 74-year-old the much-needed boost.
In the
head-to-head race in the
presidential election on November 3rd *.
Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize: Norwegian politician tries again
Because
Christian Tybring-Gjedde
did it again.
Just like three years ago - at that time together with his party colleague Per-Willy Amundsen - the politician of the right-wing populist Norwegian Progress Party (in the original: Fremskrittspartiet) nominated the most powerful man in the world for the
Nobel Peace Prize
.
In 2018, it was Trump's meeting with
North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un
and the republican's efforts to disarm on the Korean peninsula that prompted the two Scandinavians to take this much-noticed and criticized step, this time Tybring-Gjedde is also looking to the
Near and Middle East
.
Trump played a crucial role in the peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
"If other nations in the Middle East follow the example of the United Arab Emirates as expected, this agreement could be a turning point that will transform the Middle East into a
region of cooperation and prosperity
," said Tybring-Gjedde, explaining his choice at FOX News ".

Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize: "Done more for peace than many other winners"
The former member of the Norwegian NATO delegation in Brussels also emphasized: "I think he has done more to establish
peace between countries
than many other Nobel Peace Prize winners." To those four US with Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama so far - Presidents count.
At least above his direct predecessor, Trump should be classified, because: "He has ended a 39-year series of US presidents who either started a
war
or led the US into an
armed international conflict
."
But that is not enough.
Rather, Trump initiated positive developments in the world - not just in Israel.
Tybring-Gjedde names the
Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan
or that between North and South Korea.
It almost sounds like a big fan of the Head of State from the Oval Office is sitting in the Norwegian Parliament.
But far from it, as Tybring-Gjedde wants to make clear on “FOX News”: “I'm
not a big Trump supporter
.
The committee should look at the facts and judge him on that - not on how he behaves sometimes. "

Soon also Nobel Peace Prize winners?

Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize: "Barack Obama did nothing"
In fact, there could be no doubt: “The Nobel Peace Prize winners of the past few years have done significantly less than Donald Trump.
For example, Barack Obama did nothing.
“Sentences that should be music to Trump's ears.
Basically, they are way too late.
Because the nomination phase for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize ended in February.
Accordingly, in Trump's case, it is about the award in the coming year.
However, the successor to
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed
, who received the honor in 2019, will be announced this October.
It could have been the perfect starting point for the final weeks before the election.
After all, Trump can comfort himself with the fact that his
challenger Joe Biden is
not one of the 317 candidates for the award.
