MÉRIDA, Mexico – The Nobel Prize Committee is just weeks away from announcing its 2019 recipient, months after it surfaced that multiple people nominated President Trump for the esteemed prize.

“I believe that much more can and should happen. So far, superficial messages have been sent to the world but real progress, one doesn’t see it,” said former President of Colombia Juan Manuel Santos, who won the award in 2016 for orchestrating a historic peace agreement with the country’s violent revel group, known as FARC, following decades of conflict. “We need to see more complete progress.”

However, he acknowledged the importance of Trump taking “bold moves” and seeking to establish personal relationships even with adversaries such as North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

“It’s extremely important. Leaders are human beings and if they have good chemistry, and some kind of empathy, that makes negotiations much easier,” Santos quipped.

If he gets it he'll have earned it, unlike another president who took us from two wars to eight.

My, wouldn’t that blow the heads of the liberals if he won (which he won’t; Europeans (except France) couldn’t give a fat rip about the possibility of peace in Korea.)

It’s no longer about political choice.

We will simply witness how many demon possessed and influenced people have rejected Christ in the US.

Nobody on the left is expressing political belief. They are merely echoing what has been planted in their minds by their choice to reject anything holy.

They may be experts in their field, but they could not know any more about the election, than anyone else.

Just ignore them, regardless what they are predicting.

Just ignore everything and be sure to VOTE!

The prize was tarnished, then obama was chosen, and it became a cheap trinket.

He’ll never get it. The Nobel prize is all about politics and hopelessly corrupt by the globalists.

He should refuse it based on the loathsome character of previous recipients in recent years.

Let’s say that President Trump was able to stop every war on this Earth. Here’s what the Nobel committee would say:

“We are pleased to announce that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize goes - once again - to Barack Obama. He laid the necessary groundwork that made the end to all wars possible.”

President Trump deserves the prize. But I doubt he’ll get it. Too much honesty has drawbacks. Go Trump!

Case in point, the European Union won it in 2012.

The ‘recent years’ part must have eluded your reading skills.
