https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-nobel-peace-prize-nomination-withdrawn-ukraine-russia-2089818senior Ukrainian lawmaker who nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn it, as peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow slip under the radar and the president keeps his sights fixed on the Middle East.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.
Trump returned to the White House in January pledging to end Europe's largest land conflict since World War II in just 24 hours. But as the weeks and months dragged on, optimism for a quick deal evaporated and the Republicana self-styled "peacemaker-in-chief"grew overtly frustrated with the glacial pace of progress.

He covets a Nobel Prize for Peace because Barack Obama was bestowed one.
EAT SHIT, Donnie! You ain't getting one after all!

Rolling their eyes and and making the masturbation gesture.
