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.
The only benefit I could see in President Trump getting the peace prize is that it would piss off liberals to no end.

Love a Conundrum...
Of course, it won’t ‘bother’ libs that they will have to TRASH the ‘committee’ for awarding PDT while trying to protect BO’s receiving it.
Then PDT could tweet...GEE, just think if BO had really done SOMETHING what he could have been GIVEN...
Yes, the Hypocritic Oath will come full cycle...
TRUMP ....after receiving the award he should go on TV and tell the Nobel committee to take the award and shove it!
If, indeed, a solid, verifiable denuclearization agreement is reached, they’ll give the prize to Kim and leave it at that.
Kim can have it.
I wouldn’t want any prize that Yasser Arafat won.
Trump’s refusing the prize would be gigantic kick in the ass to the leftists...much bigger, better than when Brando refused the Oscar. Who else remembers what a shock that was?
LOL, would be funny if Trump sent a Native American girl in his place.
Just for so much fun of watching reactions by democrats and msm, I want Trump awarded Nobel peace prize. This fun from this award may top the 2016 election night
“LOL, would be funny if Trump sent a Native American girl in his place.”

Elizabeth Warren.:-)
.
That would be genius!
They should offer it but he should decline it because of the way it’s been devalued in recent years.
Agree - don’t need a trophy for doing your job. Just getting it done is its own reward.
Most of us are native Americans. I’m native American as anyone. Got no American Indian blood though. But I was born here.
I only use the term to distinguish from the Indians from India.
This was a great play by Rep. Messer.
Well I think the best outcome is for Trump to win, and then Trump telling them what they can do with it.
It would not surprise me if he would decline it, and I could not blame him. They made such a scam out of the peace price, there is no doubt that Alfred Nobel would turn around in his grave if he could.

Nobel Poop Prize
Seek not the approval of a leftwing scam like Nobel.
Just simple declare Trump wins the people’s Noble Prize.
:-)
From recent history it’s clear the Nobel peace prize committee has included a melanin test as part of the criteria for consideration.
