Who Is Donald Trump?

My VIP for this week is President Donald Trump because he has three nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, which will be announced in October according to Olivia Pero at The Daily Signal. 

After Trump helped to bring the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict to a ceasefire agreement, Cambodia announced on Friday that it will nominate Trump. Trump warned Cambodia and Thailand last week that the U.S. would not offer a trade agreement to either of them if they were still fighting.

In June, two other nations nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize: Israel and Pakistan. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while in the White House, handed Trump a copy of a letter which “he said he sent to the Norwegian Nobel Committee praising Trump’s work to end the Middle Eastern conflicts.”

The third nomination came from Pakistan for Trump’s assistance in May in bringing about a “ceasefire between India and Pakistan after the two nuclear powers and long-time rivals spent four days fighting.”

According to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, “It’s well past time that President Turmp was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” Trump has arranged an average of “one peace deal or ceasefire per month since returning to office.”

I, for one, will believe it when I see it. Since Trump has so many powerful enemies, I will be surprised if he actually receives the Nobel Peace Prize. He is definitely more worthy of it than Barack Obama who had not even been inaugurated and had done nothing to bring about peace anywhere. Trump is brokering peace in areas that most of us did not even realize were at war. An example is the Cambodia-Thailand conflict.

Should Donald Trump Receive the Nobel Peace Prize?

Pakistan officials said that Donald Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) said that she has nominated him for the prize two separate times. She wrote on social media platform X: “No modern leader has done more for World Peace than President Trump, and it’s long past time he receives recognition.”

During Trump’s first administration, he brokered the Abraham Accords, which Tenney called “the first new Arab-Israeli peace agreements in nearly 30 years … shattering the myth that peace in the Middle East required endless concessions to terrorists.”

According to an article written by Lorenzo Prieto and published at The Daily Signal, Tenney nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in January 2024 and again in December 2024. She said that she would nominate him again when the nomination portal reopens in Fall 2025 if he does not receive a much-deserved Nobel Peace Prize. 2 Lawmakers Nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

In addition to Tenney, Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA.) said that he also nominated Trump this week for the Nobel Peace Prize “in recognition of his historic role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet.”

However, Trump posted on Truth Social earlier in June that he doubted that the Nobel Peace Prize would be given to him despite his success at bringing peace to various parts of the world.

I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River), and I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in ‘The Ages!’

No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!
