Have you consider that they’re brown?
brown and Muslim. how dare they
but muh iran-backed militias in post-saddam iraq.
who destabilized iraq? don't worry about it.
Actions against the US, UK, Israel etc are justified as part of the hybrid war these states have been fighting against one another for decades, and most of these are based on pretty flimsy evidence/accusations. Most major states could be called "sponsors of terrorism" if this is what qualifies. Of course, that's not to say that stuff like the Fatwa against Rushdie is good, or based, just that this pales in comparison to what other states have done to Iran for the past couple of centuries.
Honestly he should get it, the price is a joke anyway. If kissinger can get it why can't he?
If Obama got one don't see why Trump can't get one either, it's clearly a complete sham.
Hell, they gave one to Kissinger.
Oh yeah I forgot about that, what a fucking joke.
Oh no, the legitimacy of my international liberal institutions is threatened!
Worst state sponsor of terrorism
The projection is strong with this one.

Bush already stopped Saddam from using WMDs, and he never got the price. Trump is still playing catch up.
The funniest possible outcome is that Trump gets dozens of newsworthy nominations, but still doesn't win the Prize.
I've said it before, but I really don't understand how these "Journalists" function. Like, surely they would know that flat out lying to people is the opposite of all those starry-eyed dreams they had studying journalism at uni. Like, surely someone gets into journalism because they want to inform the public, or they want to win a Pulitzer or something. So I don't get how they could be so soulless in their career, how do they justify it to themselves? Is it just the money? Is it the "if I wasn't doing this, someone else would be, so I might as well benefit" are they true believers who think that anything can be justified, as long as it makes "their side" look good? I can't imagine them being anything other than incredibly evil and selfish, or incredibly naive or stupid, or some combination of the two.
I don't think there's a single group of people I would trust less than journalists, maybe political scientists or economists.
EDIT: I think I might've found a worse group of people, the sort of people who recognise that journalists are full of shit, and yet will take the word of journalists as gospel, as long as it agrees with their preconceived notions about the scary brown people.
Complete the farse circle. Make the award really worthless. 
DEW IT!
fuck it, why not
opinion section, sounds like the NYT isn't the only paper with a bedbug problem
The “cool” nations should make an equivalent award, but that doesn’t go to war criminals
Make it a double whammy and give him the fake one for economy as well
Throw in a science one as well
