The Nobel Peace Prize has never been given to a city in the past, typically only going to individuals and organizations.

    Note that any organization may nominate anyone for its subject area’s Nobel Prize. (In this case, the nominator is The Nation magazine.) I do hope this makes it to the shortlist.

    Edit: Just fact-checked myself. There’s stricter criteria and The Nation is claiming they have eligibility through relations with past Nobel (Peace) laureates, who are eligible.

    You really want to see Trump have a heart attack?

    Give it to Obama, at the Oscars.

    If they give it to them, the people of Minneapolis should turn it down. It’s no honor to be given the same award as war criminals and corporate stooges.

    Leaked new letter is already on jts way by carrier pigeon:

    Dear Jonas,

    The fact that Minneapolis—city of crooks—has been nominated for a peace prize is an outright insult. I won’t stand by while your nation glorifies a hub of corruption and crime.

    I, the only leader who has ever stopped eight wars, now demand that the United States take total command of the entire Arctic, that the UN be dissolved, and that every flag on Greenland be replaced with my own. Denmark’s stupid claim is a joke; the world belongs to those who have the will to seize it.

    My record speaks for itself: no one has ever delivered more for peace, security, and American greatness than I have. If you refuse to act, I will unleash a wave of decisive force that will be greater than anything you have ever seen. Believe me.

    President DJT

      It’s missing “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!”
