    I think the point you might have missed is, a conviction shouldn't exclude you from receiving a prize, because you may have been convicted by a corrupt court.

    I'm not saying Trump was wrongly convicted, just that a conviction shouldn't exclude you in and of itself.

    ‘Cause I literally replied with a convicted felon (Nelson Mandela) that was awarded the Nobel peace prize

    Would it be easier if I provided another example? Liu Xiaobo was in a jail cell when he was awarded the Nobel peace prize
