President Trump thinks he should get a Nobel Peace Prize ā but he thinks it wonāt happen ā because itās rigged. So āwhat forā exactly? "I would get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things,ā he offered. āIf they give it out fairly, which they don't.ā
He made that remark during a photo-op in New York before a bilateral meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. It wasnāt completely random, however ā a reporter asked Trump if he should get the honor if he successfully mediates a Kashmir peace deal between Pakistan and India. The President is in New York for the UN's annual fall meetings.
On a related note, Trump called himself āan extremely good arbitrator," and questioned why now-former President Barack Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 ā as wars in the Middle East were raging ā and he was tapped for his āextraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy.ā
