Will this week bring Trump a Peace Prize or impeachment?
The Globe and Mail ^ | February 27, 2019 | David Shribman

For all the tumult, travail and transformation that Donald Trump has wreaked on American politics in the last 25 months, his presidency and his legacy may be defined by the momentous week ahead.

In the remaining days of February, Mr. Trump’s outreach with nuclear-armed North Korea and his economic combat with China could be resolved, even as the fate of his border wall and the Russia investigation – the latter holding the possibility of the fourth effort in American history to remove a president – hang in the balance.

This crowded hour in history has far more than 22 minutes, and there is nothing comic about it.

Perhaps not since Richard Nixon – a pioneer in Cold War red-baiting who became the chief postwar conciliator with the Soviet Union and China even as his presidency was destroyed by Watergate – has a U.S. president been involved in such disparate endeavours with such potential political and legal danger. To this day, through several waves of revisionism, the Nixon historical legacy is the subject of scholars’ fervent, emotional and ultimately unresolved debate.

And perhaps not since October, 1962 – when the Second Vatican Council, the China-India war and the Cuban Missile Crisis all developed in an epoch-making week that included the fury of Typhoon Freda’s arrival in Victoria – has so much of consequence, in so many separate theatres of upheaval, occurred in a compressed period of great possibility and grave portent.

These secularists forget that God puts earthly leaders in place to work His will in the world (Romans 13:1-7). The prayers of millions of Americans beg Him daily to bless and protect our president.

Well; this is what happens when we have an entire political party dedicated to doing everything they can to hurt President Trump and the American people at the same time.

I think we should return the favor and dump them in the middle of the ocean with nothing but a balloon. See how they like it.

Trump will NEVER get a Nobel Peace Prize—it only goes to Democrat Party Members. Maybe Hillary will be given the Prize for her world wide charity work and Haiti reconstruction.
