This Is What Leadership Looks Like
American Thinker.com ^ | March 12, 2018 | Tim Mastert

Well, well, well. So Mister Trump is going to meet with the leader of North Korea. Stunning. For someone who's universally castigated as being a clueless, all thumbs palooka of a leader, this fellow sure gets a lot of things done. Very significant things. One might even say world transforming.

You can hate him, berate him, and try very hard to minimize any of his accomplishments, but President Trump is starting to tip the arguments his way. The previous President of the United States was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for…what again? Still no one knows. Where I live in South Africa, the Nobel committee gave their prestigious Peace Prize to two very worthy recipients in the 90's, Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk. These men thoroughly deserved it, as they had actively worked toward negotiating a genuine peace at the time the country was a powder keg about to explode. When men and women in leadership dig deep and try to work out a peaceful settlement in the midst of a volatile situation, that's when the Peace Prize has merit. Other times, when it is a trinket given to the most politically correct (Obama, the Climate Change committee) it is rightly seen as a farce. But the politicking doesn't stop. Certain hostile racists in South Africa are still incensed that a white South African was ever given the Peace Prize, as if the color of one's skin should be a disqualifying factor when it comes to trying to unify a nation. Would someone who solves the most serious peace problem on the world's stage be worthy of the Committee's golden award? We'll see.

For being black, so that people could virtue signal about how non racist they were when they pretended to like him.
