Could Trump Win Nobel Peace Prize? Peace in Korea Would Be Significant Foreign Policy Achievement
Newsweek ^ | April 28, 2018 | Maria Perez

With the unthinkable now cautiously possible, peace between North and South Korea, speculation about President Donald Trump becoming a Nobel Peace Prize winner has begun. If peace in the Korean Peninsula truly happens, the Nobel committee could be left with a difficult choice regarding Trump’s candidacy.

Recognizing those who helped bring peace to the region would seem like an easy choice, but a decision to give Trump the award could force the Nobel Prize committee into a fierce political debate on whether a man who has openly mocked foreign leaders, launched multiple airstrikes and has threatened war, deserves an award for peace.

But, if the reconciliation happens, how could Trump’s apparent achievement not be recognized? Donald Trump Jr. said regardless of what unfolds, his father won’t get the credit. “Remember who decides this stuff,” he tweeted. “... The globalist elite would never give him that win.”(continued)

There should be a higher award since Presidents Obama and Carter already have one.

Yeah, ‘significant’. How about earthshaking, considering this problem has bedeviled the world for 70 years and threatened nuclear war.

This could very well be a giant scam on Kim Jong Psychopath's part.But it's also possible that the Butchers of Beijing have told him,in no uncertain terms,"We don't want any nuclear fallout drifting into our airspace.Knock your $hit off...and do it now!"

This prize means nothing anymore. Obama got one for doing nothing.

First of all, it would never happen.

Second of all, it would be worthless.

I would advise Trump to stick a big middle finger in the face of the globalist elite's NPP committee and tell them thanks but no thanks.

Why would Trump care to be included in the leftist, marxist hug fest that is the Nobel Peace Prize?

You don’t win a Nobel prize, you earn it. You win the lottery, you earn awards as my mother use to say.

this nobel prize thing is a trap. The leftists give him a nobel prize and they will OWN him. You’ll never hear the end of “Trump needs to do something to deserve it..” 24 hours a day they will use it as leverage to try and force him into a box. If they offer he should turn it down with prejudice.

"There should be a higher award since Presidents Obama and President Carter already have one."

Agreed. However, you gave a disgraced former occupant of our White house a title he never deserved, plus you left out Yasser Arafat, the EU, the IPCC, Al Gore, the UN, and Kofi Annan, among other individuals and organizations that did far more harm than good.

The Nobel Peace Price means practically nothing anymore. I believe you get one free with an Extra Value sized Filet O’Fish sandwich, starting next week.

I’ll save you all the “suspense.” President Trump will not receive the Nobel Peace Prize no matter how salubrious the outcome with the dictator of the Norks.

Shut up about the Nobel. Let’s get the deal done & see if it is a lasting deal, then talk about prizes.

If Obama gets one for absolutely nothing, what possible significance can the prize have?
