He did nothing to deserve one. In fact he bragged about droning many people.

"Even many of Obama's supporters believed that the prize was a mistake,"

Who is this Obama guy?
I thought your people were in charge.
 

Spinning like a son of a gun! Hilarious!  

Eight years later, and still whining about Obama's prize,,,,,

Congressional leaders scramble to reassure Australia after testy Trump phone call
By Mike DeBonis February 2 at 12:33 PM 
 

Top Republican figures on Capitol Hill sought to reassure Australia on Thursday following reports of a remarkably tense phone call between President Trump and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) said Australia was a “very essential” U.S. ally after being pressed in a morning news conference by reporters on the call, as well as on a tweet late Wednesday where Trump dismissed an agreement to accept refugees from Australia as a “dumb deal.”

“I don’t think Australia should be worried about its relationship with our new president, or with our country, for that matter,” Ryan said, making reference to a September meeting he had with Turnbull. “Australia is a very important and central ally. It’s going to continue to be.”

Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a frequent critic of Trump’s foreign policy stances, phoned Australia’s ambassador to the United States on Thursday morning to “express my unwavering support for the U.S.-Australia alliance,” according to a statement issued by his office.

McCain’s statement cited U.S.-Australian military alliances dating back to World War I, made reference to the hundreds of Australians who died fighting alongside Americans in the Vietnam War and detailed ongoing cooperation between the U.S. and Australian armed forces.

“In short, Australia is one of America’s oldest friends and staunchest allies,” McCain said. “We are united by ties of family and friendship, mutual interests and common values, and shared sacrifice in wartime.

“In that spirit, I called Australia’s Ambassador to the United States this morning to express my unwavering support for the U.S.-Australia alliance. I asked Ambassador [Joe] Hockey to convey to the people of Australia that their American brothers and sisters value our historic alliance, honor the sacrifice of the Australians who have served and are serving by our side, and remain committed to the safer, freer, and better world that Australia does far more than its fair share to protect and promote.”


Ryan declined to comment specifically on the tweet or on the phone call itself, saying he did not “know about the veracity of those reports.”

Trump’s tweet included factual errors about the Obama agreement with Australia, saying it concerned “thousands of illegal immigrants” when in fact the deal involved roughly 1,200 refugees from war-torn nations, not “illegal immigrants,” who have been detained in camps on offshore islands.
