Trump will absolutely be awarded the Peace prize — it would complement the Prize awarded to Ronald Reagan for: demolishing the Soviet Union; pulling back the Iron Curtain in Europe and freeing millions; tearing down the Berlin Wall; and overseeing the dismantling of thousands of nuclear weapons on both sides.

I’m just going to take a moment to find some links about this award to post here, for your convenience.

Please disregard the above. It seems that, in this universe, Reagan wasn’t actually awarded the Peace Prize! I wonder why?

OTOH, Mikhail Gorbachev was awarded the Prize; so, I guess that bodes well for Kim getting one too.

It is now a joke after they gave it to Nobama.

Who cares about the Nobel Peace Prize? Maybe it’s about time to create a better one. How about the Free Republic Prize!

Yes, he deserves a yuge, more big, beautiful prize, the most MAGA prize ever!
Apparently any America-hater can win a Nobel Prize - sad!

America’s hysterical Lefties would chew off their own arms before they’d countenance The Donald getting any prize of any sort.

If the Left is forced to recognize Trump’s achievement, you can bet they’ll split the award with Kim. That’s the kind of thumb-in-your-eye move that they’d pull.

Trump will never win it. The Nobel Prize is run by leftists. They will give it to Kin Jong Un.

I agree the closest they may get is sharing it with Un that way they can embarrass Trump by linking the two of them. I can see them doing that.

But, if the reconciliation happens, how could Trump’s apparent achievement not be recognized?

The same way that Gorbachev was given the Nobel Peace Prize instead of Reagan. The Nobel Committee rejects the proven principal of "Peace Through Strength". Kim and Moon will probably share the prize. Maybe if Moon Nominates Trump himself, and gives him credit, it's possible they share the prize three ways, but doubtful.

Trump should deny it if offered.

Tell them to give it to Jimmy Kimmel.

They will give the Nobel Peace Prize to the Unabomber before they give it to Trump.

If there is a deal, they might award the prize jointly to Kim and to the South Korean President. If they decide an American has to be included, it will be Pompeo rather than Trump.

Trump will never get any credit. He will win the Nobel Prize after I become king of Holland. (I’m not Dutch).

He would most certainly deserve it over Carter, and Obama.

Better if offered that PRESIDENT TRUMP doesn’t take it.
That’s about as good as being Time’s Man of the Year.
You know; right up there with Hitler, Stalin, Khomeini, Krushchev, Clinton, Carter, etc.
Waste of time and effort just to accept, better to just give them a good old 1 finger salute.

He should refuse to accept it, if offered. It’s a prize awarded to murderers and liars for making one peace-like brain fart in public. It would be a stain on his Presidency, and an attempt to swamp-ify him.

I can picture Trump saying something like - “Keep this tainted POS” and sending it back - after donating the cash to the VA or some military benefit.

I got on meme on my Facebook feed. “Korean War ends. 9th Circuit Court rules it must continue.”
