Satire is dead. Fuggedaboudit:
Mr Trump was reportedly nominated for his “ideology of peace by force” by an anonymous American.
The director of the Nobel Institute said there were concerns that Mr Trump’s nomination may have been falsified.
“I can say that we have good reason to believe that [the nomination of Mr Trump] is a fake,” Nobel Institute Director Olav Njølstad told Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
“This happens very rarely, and if that happens then it does not matter. Those who nominate candidates considered relevant are checked whether they are valid nominees,” Lundestad told Vanguard News.

“It is not unthinkable that Trump can be nominated by valid proposers. But it must be confirmed that nominees have the opportunity to nominate candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize,” Lundestad said.
Actually Trump is not a valid nominee. I don’t think I have to explain why. On the other hand, he’s not a valid president either. We can say he won the Olympic mold Medal for the giant slalom and give him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress too. Anything’s possible in Trump World.
