Dear Nobel Peace Prize Committee:I saw in the news that our president, Donald J. Trump, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a right-wing nationalist member of the Norwegian parliament for his role in getting Israel and the UAE to agree to like each other. Frankly, I was surprised he wasn’t nominated for the Nobel in literature, given the depth, creativity and productivity of his fictions, but so be it. For example, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has excelled as an agent of peace during his tenure as Senate majority leader. I realize that the Peace Prize committee has a lot of nominations to deal with each year — more than 300 this cycle alone. But I’d like to preserve the right to submit more names as additional members of the Trump administration distinguish themselves over the coming months in the pursuit of peace.
