None of those four was Donald J. Trump

Barack Obama was the fourth U.S. president to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, after Theodore Roosevelt (1906) and Woodrow Wilson (1919)—both of whom received the award during their terms—and Jimmy Carter (2002), who received the award 21 years after leaving office.

Agreed! MineralMan Friday #24

He wanted it, he coveted it, and he was denied it. Then he lost it. Ketchup cleanup time! Blues Heron Friday #2

Mr. Webster disagrees with your definition of "win." Gore1FL Friday #3

I think you missed MineralMan's point. Gimpyknee Friday #11

Nope Torchlight Friday #12

If the word was used in the context of a Medal of Honor, it would be accepted and understood for what is Gore1FL Friday #14

I remember when the Academy Awards changed the wording to "... and the Oscar goes to..." QueerDuck Friday #4

Quite true. It's awarded, not won. It's not a competition, though doubtless Trump sees it that way. Ocelot II Friday #5

Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize because Obama got one. It's part of Trump's sick need Gaugamela Friday #10

Thank you. An important distinction. niyad Friday #19

It's much like His MAGAsty saying he always wanted to win a Purple Heart. MineralMan Friday #21

That one always puzzled me. It was as if he had no clue how one came niyad Friday #25

Truly, I don't think he actually knows. Or he has forgotten. MineralMan Friday #27

It is nevertheless a very common locution to "Win the Nobel Prize." NNadir Friday #26

As you note, we should take our cues from the Nobel Prize Committee. MineralMan Friday #28

William Faulkner was a writer too... NNadir Friday #33
