2. If North Korea does totally denuke (big if) then Trump probably should get the Nobel

Peace prize along with S. Korea's Moon. I find it hard to believe but there are some strange things happening these days. Trump is a disgusting old white guy but he is not the first we've had and I doubt he will be the last. Maybe, just maybe, America is not everything we would like to think it is?

Since when is bullying someone diplomacy or negotiating? Both Korean leaders are responsible and tRump is trying to take credit because it is happening while he still squats in the White House.

if this does happen then I think it would be hard to not give him some credit. I despise the guy but time will tell. I just hope things don't go from BAD to HOPEFUL to WORSE.

Kim has made promises in the past and has always failed to follow through; he's like Lucy with the football. And pretty soon he'll be "Little Rocket Man" again. And, by the way, The Nobel Committee, which is responsible for the selection of eligible candidates and the choice of the Peace Prize winners, is composed of five members appointed by the Norwegian parliament. Spanky might like Norwegians but they don't like him.

Muslims, black people, brown people, women and anyone who disagrees with him will get a Nobel nod.
His supporters can’t stand that Obama received one so they are screaming for their crunchy Cheeto to get one. Not going to happen.

Vlad might, but I would guess he gives Laura Ingraham's opinion as much respect as it deserves.
