"There are many more substantial grounds that render him patently unqualified to receive the award. Among the numerous reasons that make him one of the least deserving people in the world who should be honored, he has single-handedly destroyed the United States Agency for International Development, which has saved hundreds of millions of people from hunger and disease, and promoted democracy and the rule of law around the world."
"In an executive order issued on his inauguration day, 20 January, Trump slandered USAID as not aligned with American interests and in many cases antithetical to American values and claimed that its workers serve to destabilize world peace. That act of malice by itself should be sufficient to erase Trump from the longest long list. Clearly, the worthiest candidate for the Nobel peace prize, whether its name was submitted before the deadline or not, is USAID."
"Since its founding under John F Kennedy in 1961, USAID has supported extensive programs on global health, food security, education and democratic development that, by addressing the root causes of instability and poverty, had promoted a more free, peaceful and prosperous world for 64 years until Trump destroyed it. As a general rule, there should be no shame attached to an organized effort to win the prize by Trump or others."
Donald Trump is patently unqualified for the Nobel Peace Prize. He destroyed USAID, an agency that saved hundreds of millions from hunger and disease and promoted democracy and the rule of law worldwide. An inauguration-day executive order labeled USAID misaligned with American interests and accused its workers of destabilizing world peace. That action dismantled decades of global health, food security, education, and democratic development programs that addressed root causes of instability and poverty. Lobbying for the prize was stained by perverse statecraft, manufactured conflicts, cult-like demands for worship, and solicitation of endorsements from leaders seeking personal advantage.
