Former President Jimmy Carter believes that President Donald Trump has a legitimate case to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize if he brokers a denuclearization deal with North Korea. Carter won the award in 2002.

“If President Trump is successful in getting a peace treaty that’s acceptable to both sides with North Korea, I think he certainly ought to be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize,” said Carter to Politico Magazine’s “Off Message” Podcast. “I think it would be a worthy and a momentous accomplishment that no previous president has been able to realize.”

Trump is set to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 12 in Singapore to discuss a possible denuclearization. North Korea, typically a country of blustery rhetoric, has had a détente with its long-standing nemeses this year.....

Wow, they give President Trump a high standard to meet

While Obama just had to get elected and he got one

President Trump already earned it, he got North Korea to the table and got our hostages released. Just think if Obama did that? 24/7 for months the Media would be praising him and calling him a genius. Trump does it, Look Stormy Daniels or Look Mueller or Russia Russia Russia!

They’ll give those to anybody.

If Trump continues to walk this walk, I’ve got a better idea: Mount Rushmore.

The Nobel is nothing but a liberal popularity vote.

“Or the Trump Memorial in Washington, DC.”

Monument, not memorial.

Obama got his purely because he has enough melanin to darken his skin to a color closer to brown than pinkish-tan.

After Obama, the Peace Prize is just a political "reward".

I'm sure he would refuse it.

Roger Stone said:

“If at the end of the next three years the economy is very strong, he has built the wall, sealed our borders, he’s reformed our immigration policies, he has redone these trade agreements so that they are beneficial to the United States, that he has got a peace agreement in Korea — I could see him saying, ‘You know what? I don’t need this anymore. I made America great again. I have kept my promises to the American people. I’m heading off to the golf course.’”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it will take two terms to straighten out the mess caused by Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama.
If he restores the rule of law, he will deserve some sort of monument.
