The Spin

The Nobel prize would be deserved recognition for Trump's decisive leadership in preventing a catastrophic Middle East war. He has brought peace through strength, which many thought was impossible. The president's diplomatic achievements, including the Abraham Accords and multiple conflict resolutions, demonstrate his unique ability to forge peace in volatile regions.

Trump is obsessed with winning the Nobel prize, but that doesn't mean he deserves it after his erratic handling of the Iran crisis brought forth a shaky ceasefire. He has constantly gone back and forth between being a war hawk and a would-be peacemaker. At the same time, he's done nothing to stop Russia's aggression against Ukraine. It's absurd to think he should win a Nobel.
