The North Korean state media made a historic announcement Friday evening that Kim Jong-un and the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea would be suspending its nuclear missile and long range missile testing. In addition they will also be closing down their nuclear test site. The announcement comes ahead of President Trump's meeting with Kim Jong-un, a potbellied dictator he once nicknamed "Rocketman," in May. By all accounts, President Trump has been the driving force behind North Korea's sudden change in their willingness to stop their nuclear weapon program.
Now, Rep. Luke Messer (R-IL) is calling for President Trump to be awarded the Nobel Peace prize if North Korea decides to disarm all together.
“If North Korea disarms, President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize,” Messer said in a statement released Saturday morning.
“President Trump’s peace through strength strategy is making America safer and delivering results. This is more progress in North Korea than we saw during the entire Obama administration, and it’s a direct result of President Trump’s strong leadership on the world stage,” he added.
In 2009, President Obama won the Nobel Peace prize for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
Evidence abounds that adulation for President Obama was premature. But, over on Sky News, Cordelia Lynch is asking if North Korea is a "a chance for Trump to become one of history's 'great men'?"
From Sky News:"Each administration has tried to get to this place and North Korea has reneged.
Has Mr Trump managed to achieve what his predecessors couldn't and in the process, secure a unlikely place in the diplomatic hall of fame? It is too early to tell of course.
But, the fact his top spymaster, Mike Pompeo, secretly managed to meet face-to-face with Mr Kim does seem to have helped pave the way for something potentially monumental.
It seems Nigel Farage, the Brexit leader, would agree with Rep. Messer and Lynch's recognition of this historic occasion.
"Those who disagree with me, I’m going to really upset you now. A few years ago President Obama, he was not even 10-months into the presidency and guess what? He got the Nobel Peace Prize for what he might do,” Farage told LBC.
“I’m going to suggest now that what needs to happen is that President Trump needs to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for managing to get talks going with North Korea. I think it’s fantastic, and I’ve been looking today at some of the rules and as an MEP I am able to nominate people for the Nobel Peace Prize," he added. “And I’ll be trying to get a petition of MEPs who support this idea."
A lot can change between now and the United States meeting with North Korea in May, but there is plenty to be cautiously optimistic about for President Trump.
For WHAT??!!??
I gave up when they gave it to Dr. Max Stratman
If he is awarded it, he should receive it with grace and dignity, let the accomplishment stand on its merits, and award the prize money to a charity that helps the people of North Korea get back on their feet.
Looking at who the prize has been handed out to as of late, it’s worth nothing.
So with that in mind, using the powers vested in me, I am going to go ahead and bestow upon President Trump the Noble Peach prize.
Thread winner.
The Nobel Peace Prize has become nothing more than Leftist Propaganda.
Awarded it for the wa the paint dries!
It's too bad that the virtue-signaling sots who control the prizes won't do this. I would love watching libtard heads explode.
Save some money and make Obama give his unearned Peace Prize and money to Pres. Trump, who is earning it.
And make Michele give back the silk bedroom sheets she is using to make extra-large burqas.
#25. Nobody remembers much about Brando refusing the Oscar. All they remember is that his Indian princess ended up au naturel in Playboy not long afterwards.
Let’s see how good or bad my memory is. Was her name something like Sasha Little Feather? That was about all she wore.
I haven’t seen that issue since it came out, what, in the 70’s?
I know there is at least one FReeper who has a complete collection of Playboys in his closet.
Wanna start a contest on the best PB cover? I nominate the early 1980’s one of Shannon Tweet in some kind of purple lace dress. She was beautiful.
Connie Kreski wasn’t bad either.
Now I’m stuck reading the latest issue of “DEPENDS News”.
Obama was awarded his Peace Price then promptly instigated Arab Spring wherein he destroyed US ally Libya through unnecessary warfare. Tripoli, a beautiful port city, now lies in rubble,.... the Great Man Made River,the 8th wonder of the world, greening of Libya’s Southern desert in now ruined while genocide is now perpetrated for water.
Obama was a moronic liberal fascist who was a destroyer. Yet he has this rubber mask face of benevolence? Obama needs to get what he has truly earned, riding a bicycle alone through Tripoli.
What a farce the Nobel Peace Prize truly is!
President Trump has brought peace, but the left will never recognize him for it.
••NOTHING•• substantial, verifiable, concrete, nor irreversible has even happened yet. I say this as a close Korea Peninsula watcher for over 35 years and nearly 21 years of posting about it here on FR (along with FReeper “Tiger Likes Rooster”) long before even the concept of a President Trump.
They’ll give it to Fat Little Kim before they think about Trump.....
I have 54+ years of Nat Geo in my living room.
___________
When the sun rises in the west.
And donate the substantial prize money to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
That sounds good to me.
Did you forget that those idiots gave it very prematurely to that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?
