Trump Says ‘Corrupt’ Decision Process Is Preventing Him From Winning Nobel Peace Prize

On Oct. 11, the Nobel Prize Committee will introduce the 2019 recipient, and President Donald Trump believes a “corrupt” decision-making process is preventing him from receiving the medal he deserves. 

After a Pakistani journalist told Trump he would deserve the medal if he could ease decades-long tensions between India and Pakistan over the disputed territory of Kashmir, the President went off.

On Monday, Trump told the Pakistani press that the five-person Norwegian Selection Committee is biased and corrupt.
