Pakistan to nominate Donald Trump for Nobel peace prize

Source: The Guardian

Pakistan has said it will recommend Donald Trump for the Nobel peace prize for his work in helping to resolve the recent conflict between India and Pakistan.

The move, announced on Saturday, came as the US president mulls joining Israel in striking Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation,” Pakistan said in a statement. “This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker.”

Governments can nominate people for the Nobel peace prize. There was no immediate response from Washington. A spokesperson for the Indian government did not respond to a request for comment.

There is still tension there. A client of mine has cancelled 2 flights in the last month to go to Bangladesh because of the fighting. Modi has rejected stupidface's 'peace plan'. The problems are NOT resolved. He fails at everything he does and really really really really really wants a Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump had said last month that the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours agreed to a ceasefire after talks mediated by the U.S., and that the hostilities ended after he urged the countries to focus on trade instead of war.
However, Modi told Trump in a phone call late on Tuesday that the ceasefire was achieved through talks between the Indian and Pakistani militaries and not U.S. mediation, according to India's most senior diplomat, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. https://archive.is/cDFmL

"Great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship"??? "Robust diplomatic engagement"??? We're talking about a guy who doesn't even have an adult-level handle on the English language, much less any diplomacy-related skills.

Hey, if I want to witness world-class trump blow-jobbing, I've always got the mainstream media, right here in the good ol' USA. No need for laughable attempts from Pakistan.

Trump is dying to have a Nobel because it's something that Obama has that he doesn't. It's that simple. It's that childish.
