The actual UN is a tedious talk-shop with 193 members and tedious rules of procedure. Trump's model is far more efficient: one member, one Twitter account, and the divine authority of his own gut feelings.

The Nobel Committee, steeped in the old-world, collaborative nonsense, is clearly threatened by this streamlined, disruptive start-up approach to global statecraft.
