A staff writer at the Atlantic Magazine had a unique perspective on President Trump’s two nominations in one-week Friday; saying it’s time to END the tradition because "it had its chance, and blew it."

“If Trump wins the prize, it will be the fourth Nobel awarded for peace between Israel and its neighbours. (The announcement will come on October 9.) That will make Arab-Israeli peace mediators more successful at charming the Nobel Committee than the International Committee of the Red Cross, which has won three times in the prize's 120-year history, but still less successful than my favourite, which is no one at all," writes author Graeme Wood.

"All of this points to one of two conclusions: The Nobel Committee can either give the prize to do-gooder organisations such as the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders (and play things extra safe), or it can keep the prize locked away for a while, and reevaluate its reasoning for a modern era. I suspect that that reevaluation will end, if the committee is honest, with the admission that peace can be recognised only by its fruits, which take decades to mature, and not by its seeds. To keep giving awards for the seeds is to court embarrassment, and to make yourself hostage to wacky attention-seeking nominations like Trump's. Better to shut it down, before the trolls do first," he adds.
