Trump Just Became the Nobel Peace Prize Committee’s Worst Nightmare
Breitbart News ^ | 12 Jun 2018 | James Delingpole

As he didn’t neglect to remind us in his hilarious post North Korea summit press conference, President Trump just saved maybe 30 million people from nuclear annihilation. He did what his predecessors considered impossible and what the liberal media and all the “experts” continue to assure us can never be done: he brought peace to the region which up till now was considered the likeliest ground zero for World War III.

In other words, pretty much, President Trump just saved the world. ...

These were just of the few things President Trump didn’t actually say at his hugely entertaining post-summit press conference in Singapore. But then he didn’t need to. Anyone watching could read the subtext for themselves.

“I’ll do whatever it take to make the world a better place,” said President Trump in the special, soften humble-brag voice he uses to wind up reporters from Time.

What he meant was: “You still think I’m not the greatest president you’re ever likely to see in your life time? Hold my beer…”

Looking bright and alert on virtually no sleep, Trump worked the event like an Olympic sprinter doing a victory lap of the track after smashing the world record. This was his moment – one to cherish with his friends and supporters; one to rub in the noses of his enemies – and he was in no mood to rush his time in the sun. To show us just how much he was enjoying it, he casual-ostentatiously asked his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders if she’d allow him an extension.

...this was a master at the very top of his game, winning new friends, confounding his enemies, reminding the world that he is by some margin its greatest, most charismatic leader.

Someone last night suggested Rodman for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

I concur

Trump gets his Peace Prizes the old fashioned way - he earns them. Next up, the Middle East.

If he were to win, there are a few State Attorney’s General who would sue him for violating the Emoluments Clause.

Brian Frosh (Moron-MD) would be first in line

I would rather have his likeness added to Mt. Rushmore along with our other great Presidents!

I could see Trump having fun and publicly nominating the nork, that way he gets the glory and controls the nominating committee.

That would be a great political ploy, regarding this now useless award. He should say that, after glowering at each other for 68 years, Kim showed great courage in coming to the table and ending the confrontation. Knock the knees out from under the naysayers.

If any of the left (I should say when) they gloat over Kim getting the award, he should say that the Democrats always miss the Big Picture. What counts is that peace in that area has been achieved, or at least a reduction in tensions, and that that is what counts.

There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit. - President Ronald Reagan

I've got a feeling President Trump feels this way right about now.

I agree. Trump really wants to do something, and he’s not in it for the fake Nobel.

If Trump succeeds and North Korea gets rid of the nukes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize committee will look like fools if they don’t give him the prize, but after giving a prize to Obama, for nothing, they are already there.

After Obama the Nobel Peace Prize is so tainted I doubt Trump would want the embarrassment. I certainly wouldn’t.

I doubt he is much impressed by the prize, but I think he would take it just to aggravate the lefties.

“———but I think he would take it just to aggravate the lefties.

I think refusing it because it has now become meaningless would aggravate them more.

This is the greatest president of my lifetime. No one even close. Reagan took their crap and they rubbed his nose in it and tried to run him out with Iran-Contra.
