President Trump is going to absolutely love what the President of South Korea said about him over the weekend:
REUTERS – South Korean President Moon Jae-in said U.S. President Donald Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end the standoff with North Korea over its nuclear weapons program, a South Korean official said on Monday.
“President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize. What we need is only peace,” Moon told a meeting of senior secretaries, according to a presidential Blue House official who briefed media.
Moon and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Friday pledged to end hostilities between the two countries and work towards the “complete denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula in the first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade.
Trump is preparing for his own summit with Kim, which he said would take place in the next three to four weeks.
In January, Moon said Trump “deserves big credit for bringing about the inter-Korean talks. It could be a resulting work of the U.S.-led sanctions and pressure”.
Moon’s Nobel Prize comment came in response to a congratulatory message from Lee Hee-ho, the widow of late South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, in which she said Moon deserved to win the prize in recognition of his efforts, the Blue House official said.
Moon responded by saying Trump should get it.
I think it’s a bit premature for handing out peace prizes on this, but I’m sure Trump really appreciates the ‘nomination’.
Now if we’re using the same standards by which Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize, then Trump should definitely get it. After all, Obama didn’t do anything but talk about world peace and Trump has certainly done far more than that.
So how long before Trump tweets out “I accept” in response to Moon’s comments?
