Pick a noble person for the Nobel prize

THE EDITOR, Madam:

The suggestion that Donald Trump should win a Nobel Peace Prize, much less several, as he believes, is unsound and offensive.

A subjective assessment of the list of Peace Prize winners, and other Nobel categories, shows people who have contributed so much for so long, and made improvements to our lives and our knowledge. How can Donald Trump claim this?

His “complete and total” ceasefire was like many ceasefires in the Mid-east, fictional rather than functional, over before it started and didn’t resolve any issues.

Pick a noble person for the Nobel prize.
