The T-man's Nobel Peace Prize nomination is withdrawn

A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn it, as peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow slip under the radar and the president keeps his sights fixed on the Middle East.

Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine's parliamentary foreign committee, told Newsweek on Tuesday he had "lost any sort of faith and belief" in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv.

Merezhko originally nominated Trump for the prize in November, but said he submitted his nomination withdrawal on Monday morning.

petitioned their government to withdraw the nomination as well.

Though I'd think, If a hateful fkr like Trump can win a Nobel Peace prize then that prize would instantly become sht worth having.

The orange fool is no friend of Ukraine. He tried to humiliate their president, tried to shake down the country with his "perfect" phone call, threatened to withhold any assistance altogether, and played footsie with Putin from the start.

Maybe the nomination was an attempt to dissuade him from turning off the taps altogether. Butter him up a little. He likes being buttered.
