Newsweek, The Daily Beast and Bloomberg report that Donald Trump criticized Norway at a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday, again arguing that his diplomatic record deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Newsweek reports Trump said “Norway sucks,” and The Daily Beast reports he used a profane insult about the country; both describe his words as the outlets report them. Bloomberg and The New York Times report that Norway pushed back. Norwegian officials said the country has no influence over who receives the prize, and Bloomberg said Norway considers Trump's anger over the snub misplaced.
