As Ali Velshi of MSNBC noted in tonight’s broadcast, filling in for Rachel Maddow, lame duck president Donald Trump included an odd graphic in a campaign-style ad the White House posted Monday night.

At the 44 second mark, the video touts “Trump Stands For Peace,” The video accompanying the claim shows the ceremony of the signing of the so-called Abraham Accords, in which two small Arab nations (who never had hostilities with Israel) signed formal recognition of the State of Israel. But in the lower right corner shows a Nobel Prize medal given to those who won it for achievement in sciences.
Put aside why the White House is producing ads touting Trump. Why do they have a Nobel Prize medallion–which Trump didn’t win–on the video? And why is it a medallion for a Nobel Prize in the sciences? Trump longs for a Nobel Peace Prize, which Obama won, but he knows nothing about science.
