Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize
The Marshalltown Times-Republican ^ | October 14, 2019 | Rachel Marsden

Posted on 10/13/2019 11:36:08 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The prestigious Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded this week, and Donald Trump has made no secret of his belief that he deserves it.

During a press conference last month alongside the prime minister of Pakistan, a reporter said to Trump, “Now, if you can solve this outstanding issue of Kashmir, very likely and definitely you will be deserving a Nobel Prize on that,”

Trump responded: “I think I’m going to get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things, if they give it out fairly, which they don’t.”

After Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize less than a year into his first term, he proceeded to intensify bombing in the Middle East. In fairness, Obama could have won the prize more legitimately later on for his role in helping to secure the Iran nuclear agreement, along with the rest of the U.N. Security Council member states plus Germany. Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from that deal, which even the CIA has confirmed effective in halting Iran’s nuclear enrichment program in exchange for sanctions relief, is about the only strike against Trump’s bid for the prize. And considering that former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger won a Nobel Peace Prize while masterminding the bombing of Cambodia, Trump deserves leeway for that faux pas.

Says it all. I don't need to add anything else.

He certainly deserves it, for what that prize used to stand for...
But I can almost envision him telling them where to stick their prize if they did try to give it to him now.

Now it kinda looks like an abstract Jimmy Durante.

A member of the Nobel Peace Prize committee later said publicly that they made a mistake and regretted awarding the prize to Obama before he ever did anything.

Regardless, the Nobel Peace Prize is a bunch of far Lefties giving other far Lefties a pat on the back. Conservatives need not apply.

Trump would accept the prize if awarded to him but he won't lose any sleep over not getting it.

Was this supposed to be a joke because that whole thing is a bunch of foolishness.

Maybe Trump should create a new prize. The Trump Prize. I like it. Has a certain “ring”.

I think a new class of US Navy nuclear armed, nuclear powered battle cruiser should be named after him. The Trump class battlecruiser.

President Trump definitely deserves a Peace Prize,

But does anyone seriously believe that the people who awarded a "Peace Prize" to the likes of Al Gore, Barack Obama, Yasser Arafat, and Jimmy Carter would have the lucidity to honor anyone so deserving as Donald Trump?

If President Trump succeeds in bringing the USA back from the brink of the abyss of suicidal decadence, on which she now teeters, he will have been the Greatest President in American History, and history will acknowledge him as such.

The Nobel Committee has made a mockery of the "Nobel Peace Prize."

Publicly denouncing ones-leftist-self is a refreshing sign. Maybe he smelled the Obama Napalm in the Morning... or most probably he regrets the massive invasion of Syrians and others whose homes were razed by Obama’s ISIS and Iranian buddies along with the Muslim BrotherHOOD’s military wing.

Chicken-hawks here wanted Trump to go full bore getting involved in yet another sectarian Muslim\Muslim war in Syria. I am glad the President stood firm. Muslims in the Mideast are snakes, all of them, including the Kurds. When you worship Satan you have no loyalty. The Kurds would turn on us in a heartbeat. They want freedom, let them earn it. If not, they will go the way of the Dodo. But not one more American boy over there dying so some Satan worshiper can have the freedom to oppress women, Christians, Jews, Hindus and practice their medieval Demon cult. Arm them all and let them kill each other I say.
