Sen. Graham: Trump May Deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for North Korea Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News Friday that if President Trump is able to get North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to agree to denuclearize, the president should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Graham praised Trump for the stunning progress made in getting North and South Korea leaders to meet Thursday to discuss denuclearization.

It wouldn't have happened without Trump," Graham said Friday.

“The fact that the North Korean and the South Korean president met and they vowed to end the war. What happened? Donald Trump convinced North Korea and China he was serious about bringing about change," he emphasized. "We're not there yet, but if this happens, President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize."

Graham praised Trump for ignoring the critiques of his strategy towards North Korea

“All of the criticism of President Trump on fire and fury and maximum pressure, I’m glad he didn’t listen to all those who failed before him,” he said.

However, Graham added a cautionary word as well.

"A word of warning: the worst thing Kim Jong Un could do is play Trump," he said. "To go through all these motions and go back to the old way of doing business, Donald Trump will not tolerate being played."

"We're either going to have peace or we're going to have a war now because Kim Jong Un has made a mistake if he's not serious," he concluded.

President Trump tweeted about the historic news Friday morning, saying “time will tell.”

Graham deserves to be Cantorized in 2020.

He says he will keep working for illegal alien amnesty until thrown out of office.

I don’t know, this is an ACTUAL acheivement, I don’t think the Peace Prize goes to anybody who actually advances peace anymore.

A tale of two presidencies. One President instituting a sanctions regime and isolating the enemy into denuclearizing
and another president taking the opposite tack of lifting sanctions and paying billions to further guarantee that the enemy will be able to build a nuclear arsenal in 10 years when the nuclear ban is lifted.

Think so Linda?

Problem is that the Nobel doesn’t mean what it used to. Got something that actually means anything tucked away in your petticoat?
