The Nobel Peace Prize became a farce when it got awarded to Barack Obama. Unfortunately, under the heading of "unforeseen consequences," that award enabled him to nominate subsequent candidates. I do not know if he was the nominator, but the prize is now completely unhinged from reality because The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. although CNN says they were/it was nominated by Norwegian MP Petter Eide: 🥸 WHAT'ever BUT, as if that was not enough, ALSO on the list of candidates are - Stacey Abrams
- Committee to Protect Journalists (A New York-based nonprofit promoting global press freedom)
- Daniel Ellsberg (of Pentagon Papers whistleblower fame)
- Greta Thunberg
- WikiLeaks
- and, of course, Donald Trump

It was surprising that Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. Sadly, for me the Peace section of the Nobel Prize program is faulty. I still like to see Science awards.
