O'Brien: President Trump Should Be Nominated For a Nobel Peace Prize

Speaking during the White House press briefing Monday afternoon, National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien called for President Trump to receive the Nobel Peace prize after brokering a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emerites. 

"What I have said is the President is often known as the greatest deal maker. He wrote the book 'The Art of the Deal.' He's considered a great great deal maker, which he is, but I think history is going to remember the President for being a great peacemaker. He brought peace to Israel and the UAE. His diplomats signed a historic accord in Afghanistan. I would remind people that we haven't had an American casualty in combat in Afghanistan since February 29. He used his offices and his pressure to stop Idlib from being overrun in Syria and brought a ceasefire agreement when Turkey invaded northern Syria. A lot of people said that when he came into office that there would be war in North Korea but through personal diplomacy has kept that situation from turning into a kinetic event," O'Brien said. 

"It's really remarkable when you step back and take a look at what this President has done on the peace front," he continued. "It wouldn't surprise me, it will take some time in this environment, but it wouldn't surprise me if the President is eventually nominated for a Nobel Prize. Today's work is an example of why he would be rightly considered and should be a frontrunner for the Nobel Peace Prize."

The deal, which was announced by President Trump Thursday morning, is the first official recognition by an Arab Gulf country that Israel is legitimate. Each country will build an embassy. 

"Delegations from Israel and the United Arab Emirates will meet in the coming weeks to sign bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefit," a statement released by the White House says. "As a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of President Trump with the support of the United Arab Emirates, Israel will suspend declaring sovereignty over areas outlined in the President's Vision for Peace and focus its efforts now on expanding ties with other countries in the Arab and Muslim world. The United States, Israel and the United Arab Emirates are confident that additional diplomatic breakthroughs with other nations are possible and will work together to achieve this goal."

As a reminder, President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize before he ever took office.

The Nobel Prize lost all of its legitimacy when they awarded Obama with the Peace Prize just because the Swedish royal family wanted to meet him in person. In fact the Nobel Prize committee proved it was all about politics over a century ago when it passed Prof. Einstein up multiple times just because he was a Jew.

BLM has a better chance of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize than President Trump. Just look over the list of winners in recent decades.

Rigoberta Menchu. Yasser Arafat. Jimmy Carter. Barack Obama. Al Gore.

No prize for Ronald Reagan or for Pope John Paul II.

Trump may make the list but with AOC, the founders of BLM and others ahead of him he has no chance.

Sorry Donald, no Nobel Prize for you this year or ever.

Even before 0bama...
The Peace prize has been a joke since when they gave it to Yassir Arafat in 1994

Nah. After it was awarded to Obama for doing absolutely NOTHING, it is a worthless symbol of nothingness.

I vote for four more years of Peace. Is it true that he is the only President who hasn’t started a war in a long time? I hear that being said.

Who was the male actor who refused to accept the Oscar, saying it was meaningless (I think). It may have been about 40 yeas ago.

George C. Scott for Patton? He had a ‘Native American’ woman accept the award in his place. She gave a political speech.
