OK. Tell Me You Predicted This
Sucking up to The Big Guy, because they think he’s simple. Not that the Nobel Prize Committee is likely to give it to him — they’ve made it clear they don’t like him, and they’d rejected his nomination for the thing the last time he was president.
[OffThePress] Pakistan Nominates ‘Genuine Peacemaker’ Trump For Nobel Prize

Pakistan government has formally nominated US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic engagement and pivotal leadership” during the 2025 India-Pakistan crisis, which it credits with preventing a potentially catastrophic conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations.

In a formal statement posted on the government’s verified account, Islamabad praised Trump for what it called a critical intervention that led to a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, preventing what could have escalated into a full-scale regional war.

President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship by engaging both Islamabad and New Delhi at a critical moment. “His efforts led to a ceasefire that averted a catastrophic conflict,” the statement said.

Pakistan said the crisis began with what it described as “unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression” that violated its sovereignty and caused significant civilian casualties. In response, Islamabad launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, described as a “measured and precise military response” aimed at restoring deterrence while minimizing harm to civilians.

As tensions rose rapidly, Pakistan claimed it was Trump’s “back-channel diplomacy” that helped de-escalate the situation and restore calm.
