Yes Sir, you read the title correctly

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is reportedly in the running to receive the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize.

Mr. Trump, who has attracted international backlash over his controversial rhetoric and call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., has reportedly earned a nod for the award thanks to his tough talk on terrorism and other security threats from around the world, according to Nobel watcher Kristian Berg Harpviken, the director of the Peace Research Institute of Oslo.

In the nomination letter Mr. Harpviken said he had received, supporters said Mr. Trump deserved the prize for “his vigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, ISIS, nuclear Iran and Communist China,” Agence France-Presse reported.

Thousands of people around the world are allowed to make nominations for the prestigious award, including members of parliament and government ministers, former prize winners and some university professors.

Wonder what the "establishment" thinks about that?
Sure he has only been nominated along with many others, but I imagine many people will be irked by just the thought that he was even considered for the Noble Peace Prize.

Other nominees rumored to be in the running are German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who was chosen as Time’s person of the year for 2015, and the Pope
Of course, many Germans are upset with her for the fiasco with the immigration situation there



Trump, Greek islanders in running for Nobel Prize

Oslo (AFP) - Donald Trump, Greek islanders helping desperate migrants, Angela Merkel and the pope -- some may seem more likely than others but all are understood to be in the running for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize.

What I thought to be interesting in this article, was this tid bit right here:

Harpviken said he believed Edward Snowden, the American who exposed mass surveillance by the US National Security Agency, could be a winner this year.
 
"Snowden's leaks led to a good number of reforms in US practice and US legislation, which make it harder to still argue that he is a traitor to his country," Harpviken told AFP.

There are numerous nominees for the Noble Peace Prize and the winner will not be announced until early Oct.
