CAN I BE HONEST HERE?

Donald Trump has done more for world peace in four years than Barack Obama EVER did in his entire worthless presidential career. And it's not even close. Damn straight Trump's earned a Nobel Peace Prize.
First, it was the United Arab Emirates and Israel making peace. Then it was Serbia and Kosovo agreeing to set aside political disputes to sign an economic deal. And now Bahrain and ­Israel are set to sign a peace treaty. The last month has been a remarkable one for the Biblical injunction to turn swords into plowshares. Most dramatically, the number of Arab countries recognizing Israel’s right to exist has doubled, from two to four, a leap that is reshaping 75 years of Middle East politics before our eyes. These breakthroughs were brokered by President Trump and his administration. It is an extraordinary record of peacemaking, yet in too many circles, it is being treated as a sideshow without significance.

UPDATE:  If this actually happens and Donald Trump doesn't win a Nobel Peace Prize, then there's absolutely no point in having a Nobel Peace Prize anymore.

That Arab nations have come to realize that they can't beat Israel in a war, and if they could (or even come close) the US would step in on Israel's side. they'd lode their greatest ally.

This is all about making Iran the outlier.

Once again, Trump is thinking 12 chess steps ahead of everyone else.

The Emir of Kuwait met with Trump this evening, just before Trump's rally, errr, peaceful protest in Minnesota. So, another Arab state is about to normalize relations with Israel.
