Donald Trump<\/a> reiterated his complaints on Friday about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, calling it a disgraceful and embarrassing decision that had left a stain on Norway, which hosts the Nobel committee.<\/p>\nTrump unleashed on Norway hours after the committee awarded this year’s prize to Navi Pillay, a former International Criminal Court judge who oversaw a UN report that concluded Israel committed \u200bgenocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n
Trump called Pillay a “mystery person” during a campaign rally in Syracuse, New York. “I never heard of the person. Nobody did.”<\/p>\n
Each year of his presidency, Trump has expressed disappointment that he failed to win the prize.<\/p>\n
“This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway and those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision,” Trump said.<\/p>\n
He listed a number of conflicts that he claimed a role in resolving and said he has helped prevent wars from breaking out between North and South Korea, Japan and North Korea, and China and Taiwan, without providing evidence.<\/p>\n
“The Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization. And we will not forget, Norway,” he said.<\/p>\n
