Conservatives praised Trump's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, while many opposed it, saying he was not worthy.

US President Donald Trump on 9/9 was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian MP Christian Tybring-Gjedde, chairman of the Norwegian delegation at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

In his nomination letter to the Nobel Committee, Tybring-Gjedde stressed that the Trump administration played a key role in mediating the historic peace deal between the UAE and Israel.

"I said the other day, President Trump deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, he's finally nominated," Mark R. Levin, the host of Fox News, wrote on Twitter.

"Trump deserves a much more Nobel Peace Prize than Obama, who was awarded for his breathing," said Ben Shapiro, a conservative American political commentator.

"You can imagine the riot and anger from the crowd on the left when President Trump was re-elected and won the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year. It will be very monumental," said one Trump supporter.

Tybring-Gjedde, congressman nominated for Trump, says he has an important role to play in facilitating contact with conflicting parties and creating new impetus in other protracted conflicts, such as the border dispute between India.

"As for his merits, I think he has tried more to create peace between the two countries than most other Nobel Peace nominees," Tybring-Gjedde said.

However, Trump's opponents expressed dissatisfaction with his nomination for this prestigious award.

"Today, the news of this view sentence will be very prominent and best to ignore. Anyone can receive a Nobel Peace nomination and a Trump nomination letter from a far-right Norwegian congressman.

"Trump's nomination for Nobel Peace from far-right anti-immigration congressman Christian Tybring-Gjedde is like getting an offer to be a firefighter from someone with a fire mania, or like Osama Bin's niece.

“What am I hearing?

Even so, Trump expressed his delight and shared this information in at least 15 different tweets with nearly 87 million followers on Twitter.

"Thank you!" He wrote, referring to Tybring-Gjedde.

There are hundreds of people who are nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize each year and there is no guarantee they will become a winner.

Trump has previously complained that he has not been taken seriously for the Nobel Peace Prize and expressed dissatisfaction when his predecessor Obama won the award at the start of his 2009 term.

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and White House senior adviser, said his father-in-law was "very honored to be nominated".

"All US allies feel closer to America and now they're getting closer together, breaking down barriers that people used to think were unbreakable.

The Nobel Institute often declined to comment on nominations.
