The US President said it would be a great discredit to the Nobel Committee not to honour him. "They have a reputation for maybe not giving it to people like me. But, whether I get it or not, I have done far more. And I think it would be a great discredit to them. And I'm not saying that out of scorn, I'm saying that when you settle eight wars, and nobody's never," Trump said.
