Donald Trump falsely declared at a North Carolina rally Saturday that he and his supporters are being honored with the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump was nominated for the prize by a far-right Norwegian politician but its highly unlikely hell get the award. Adolf Hitler was nominated for the peace prize in 1939 by a member of the Swedish parliament.
You love your president, and your president gets honored, Trump told the crowd in Fayetteville. Im not being honored, youre being honored, with the Nobel Peace Prize for Israel, what we did with Israel.

I'm sure that a suitably-framed certificate can be provided and I doubt he, or the cult, would do anything short of treasure the "honor"
