Trump claims he deserves eight Nobel Peace Prizes and slams Norway's choice
At a Syracuse rally, Donald Trump asserted he merits eight Nobel Peace Prizes and condemned Norway for awarding the prize to an unknown recipient.
Donald Trump used a rally in Syracuse, NY, to claim that he is entitled to eight Nobel Peace Prize medals for settling eight wars. He attacked the Norwegian Nobel Committee for honoring a recipient he said he had never heard of, calling the choice a "mystery" and an embarrassment for Norway. Trump further argued that the United States, represented by him, should have received the prize instead.
He dismissed the United Nations as ineffective in his negotiations and accused a handful of radical ideologues of discrediting the Nobel Peace Prize. The president framed the snub as an "indelible stain" on Norway and suggested the award is part of a broader effort to undermine America.
