    This is an opportunity. Somebody needs to tell him that pulling the leash on Israel would guarantee the prize. We could have a parade at the awards ceremony. Red carpet, real celebrities, and everything.

    It would still only be the second most embarrassing Peace Prize given to a sitting president.

      If Trump would rein Israel in and stop the Gaza genocide and the war with Iran, and would put something tangible on the table to guarantee a two-state peaceful solution (like a DMZ with UN troops), I would think that despite his everything, I’d be okay to have him get a Peace Prize.

      Stupid thing is, he is really in a position that no president in the past 5 decade at least found himself in, where he could actually do that with impunity, as he doesn’t need Israeli funding to get reelected, and he doesn’t give a fuck about getting anyone in his party reelected either.

      Of course, this would need Trump to be both brave and smart, which he is not.
