You could have had a shot at being rich — like, Steve Jobs rich. After all, nobody would have predicted Trump would have won the award, not even the most MAGA-cap wearing Trump fan there is. Now, plenty of respectable people — people far removed from the basket of deplorables — are tipping Trump for the award due to his efforts to secure peace with North Korea. And one of them is one of America’s most famous (and liberal) winners. In an interview with Politico’s “Off Message” podcast, former President Jimmy Carter — the 2002 winner of the award — threw liberals for a loop when he said he believed Trump could be deserving of the Nobel for his work with Kim Jong Un’s regime. “If President Trump is successful in getting a peace treaty that’s acceptable to both sides with North Korea, I think he certainly ought to be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize,” Carter told Politico. “I think it would be a worthy and a momentous accomplishment that no previous president has been able to realize.” The man who negotiated the peace between Egypt and Israel also said Pyongyang’s threats were to be expected. “If they’re under constant belief that the United States wants to attack them, even using nuclear weapons — which many Democrats and Republican leaders in our country have mentioned as a possibility — and that we are destroying their economy, and they know that they’re starving to death primarily because the United States withholds food aid, for instance, just giving them surplus food that we can’t ever use, then I can understand how they feel,” Carter said. “I think that the next mediator, next negotiator — maybe President Trump, I hope — will reassure them that we’re willing to give up some of those things — the threat of attack on them and to lift the embargo. That would be a cheap price, in my opinion, to pay for a cessation of their nuclear program.” Carter’s praise for Trump was hardly unalloyed, as was to be expected (I don’t think Trump would particularly want it, either, given Carter’s record of success with anything not involving Anwar Sadat and/or Menachem Begin.) Carter said that Trump had dealt “a damaging blow to peace” by moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, as required by law; given that Carter is a Palestinian partisan this was hardly surprising. He also said that “(t)here’s a general feeling, on a global basis, that democracy has reached its peak and is declining,” when asked about whether Trump’s election was “a challenge to democratic ideals.” That’s right, the democratic will of the electorate as spelled out in the Constitution has somehow weakened democracy. Like so many things that come out of the mouths of Democrats, I shall just leave that nugget of smugness out there for summary judgment. Nevertheless, you can almost see the suzerains of the Democratic Party trying to surgically lift their jaws off the floor from this. Jimmy Carter, their malaise-tinged hero, thinks Donald Trump is Nobel material. You could almost feel sorry for them. Almost. Poster Comment: Nobel Peace Prize for Trump is a real possibility if the 2 Koreas bury the hatchet and re-unite.

USA! USA! Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. – 4um
