I agree with you that it is not like the other Nobels, but it seems to me that it is only the Peace Prize that really embodies Alfred Nobel's regret in creating a misused weapon.

The Nobel Peace Prize may be meaningless. That the most powerful man in the world has such a juvenile, psychologically rotten obsession with it that he grins ear to ear upon an illegitimate "secondary award" of it is absolutely not meaningless.

It also has a different committee awarding it - I guess every prize has - but this one is specifically, as designed, decided by a group of parliamentarians selected out of the Norwegian parliament, generally selecting some older ones and trying to represent every party. It's not academics or specialists in the area of peace and diplomacy.

I would say this is the peace prize's fundamental flaw.

That's the economics prize.

If Trump really wanted to annoy those people he should start the 'Nobel Memorial Prize by Trump' and award it to himself.

It's about as legitimate as the one in economics.

No! It’s a warning sign.
