Its almost like 2020 is a nightmare from which we don't seem to be waking up. First there's a global pandemic which crippled lives, locking us indoors for the greater part of the year, then Trump got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
We're not kidding. The Internet is calling this moment #Peak2020. Its like saying "Bring it on 2020, what more have you got?"
US President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a Norwegian parliamentarian for his role in helping to broker Israel-UAE peace deal.
If Trump wins, he will follow the footsteps of Barack Obama, his predecessor and political archrival.
Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people".
Interestingly, Trump's nomination also comes just ahead of US presidential polls and crushing coronavirus crisis that has the US topping the list of worst-hit countries.
In February 2019, Trump had said that he deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on North Korea and Syria, but grumbled about Obama getting it.
“They gave it to Obama. He didn’t even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, ‘Oh, what did I get it for?’” “With me, I probably will never get it.”, he had said.
Well, all we can say is, never say never.
