Summary

Trump’s confrontational approach to Ukraine, overshadowing any potential diplomatic achievement, raises doubts about his Nobel Peace Prize chances.

Critics, including Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who previously nominated Trump, warn that a Russia-leaning deal unsettles Europe.

Trump’s testy meeting with President Zelenskyy, marked by demands for gratitude and threats of withdrawing support, has stoked fears that negotiations are collapsing.

The Nobel Committee’s focus on honorable conduct also factors in, with Trump’s hostility toward the press and Europe’s concerns over territorial aggression undermining the “greatest benefit of humankind” requirement.

      Personally I’m hoping for a more “French” ending but I’ll take what I can get.

        The Italian ending would also be acceptable.

        That seems like a terrible thing to inflict on the people of St. Helena.

          Ah, you’re right, by the time they counted all the votes his popular vote percentage had just dipped under 50%. He still got more votes than his opponent, though, which is an improvement over his last elections.

        31%. That means 69% (nice) didn’t vote for him.
