A Nobel Prize for Trump and Kim Is No Joke - Bloomberg

Coral, one of the top British bookmakers, has Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un as favorites at 2/1 odds to win the Nobel Peace Prize this year. They're ahead of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Saudi activist Raif Badawi, Pope Francis and other potential winners. If their talks go as well as Fridays summit between Kim and his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in, and peace is restored to the Korean peninsula, they'll both deserve it.

Trump is also still Trump. He mocked Kim as Little Rocket Man, then switched seamlessly to a respectful tone all without displaying any understanding of the Korean issues complexities. He can easily switch back once the difficulties of actually negotiating something bigger than an awkward dance across the border line or a state dinner loom large. Strict, real international control over the Norths nuclear program and major cuts to the U.S. military presence, to name just a couple of necessary concessions the sides might need to make, are by no means assured. Trump likes to win and turns petulant when others don't give him what he wants.

But the possibility of a breakthrough should make even both men's enemies careful not to disparage their efforts. If a working Korean peace deal is the only good thing they do in their lifetimes, it may well be enough to redeem them and to supplant all the nasty stuff they've said and done.

I liked the last quote. Will be interesting to see how the Korea situation develops, but today's meeting with Kim and Moon was historic.

I'd dare say Trump, Kim, Yi and Moon all should be under consideration.

Yi apparently had a big hand in bringing this together.

I would pay money for Trump to win it. The tears that would generate would power our country for a thousand years.

Well, once they gave it to Obama you figured it wasn't going to mean much ever again.

There hasn't been any actual significant conflict between NK and the USA in my lifetime. We've had peace for a long time. We're gonna hand out awards for changing the mood?

Meanwhile, KJU is still a domestic tyrant and Trump is bombing MFers left and right.

You got some issues, bro. You shouldn't get so much pleasure out of seeing others suffer. You want CA taxpayers to pay even more than the ridiculous amount they are paying. You want Trump to win a prize he doesn't deserve, just so your opponents will get mad. It's a weird thing for grownups to get off like this.

If de-nuclearization happens, why wouldn't Trump and Xi be considered?

Nope I’m totally aware of my issues. I absolutely view CA state government as funneling federal funds into their coffers to make their books balance and that is a direct result of the people putting them in power. You choose to give CA residents a pass. I say it’s their own damn fault. Their suffering is self inflicted so why should I subsidize it or even GAF? I spend a LOT of time on CA on business.

And I submit if Trump played a hand in bringing an actual peace treaty to the Korean Peninsula then he’s done more already than Barry Hussein ever did for world peace. He would have actually earned it. The libtards losing their damn minds is just bonus. And again their suffering is self inflicted.

You need to get some perspective huff, not me. Not on these two issues anyway.

Zero chance. I don't know why anyone thinks that Kim isn't going to do what he and his fat fam have done in the past. They'll use this to buy time and concessions and continue to be shtty.
