Ivanka Trump neglected to fill in the details about the Norwegian official in question, but @Stornoway_Cove did that for us.
Trump gets nominated for the Nobel Peace prize by Christian Tybring-Gjedde – a Norwegian far-right politician, anti-immigration activist, Islamophobe and climate change denier
Thank goodness for that, I thought for a moment some respected upstanding politician had nominated him!

To put things into perspective, more than 300 people have been nominated, and the shortlist has yet to be compiled, but Twitter still collectively lost its mind.
The reactions were exactly the ones you’d expect.

The Trump superfans bragging about him being nominated for a Nobel prize reminds me of journalists who fill out the entry form and pay the $50 fee to be “nominated” for a Pulitzer.

Wait, Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the UAE Israel deal? I thought it was for stealing a million dollars worth of tchotchkes from an Ambassador's residence in Paris after skipping a WWI cemetery so he wouldn't ruin his hair. Cause that is the stuff of legends.

I just woke up and fired up twitter. The first two tweets I see are (1) trump hit his highest approval rating since June, and (2) the motherfcker was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. I want to go back to bed & skip today. I don't want to share the planet with these people.
