No-bel! No-bel!&#8221;<\/em> at a political rally in Michigan, where the president of the United States is staging a campaign rally.<\/p>\n<p>Why the chant? Well, the crowd of Trumpkins thinks Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize because North and South Korea&#8217;s leaders shook hands at the DMZ and promised to pledged to sign a peace treaty that ends the Korean War, where the shooting stopped in 1953.<\/p>\n<p>My response? Hold the phone! Let&#8217;s not get ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>If North Korean President Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in sign that peace treaty, if Kim Jong Un disassembles nuclear weapons, and if there is a demonstrable lessening of tension on the Korean Peninsula, then let&#8217;s consider whether the president deserves the Peace Prize.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing of substance has happened. There might be nothing that will happen. The planned Kim meeting with Donald Trump still hasn&#8217;t occurred. Trump has said if it is &#8220;not fruitful,&#8221; he would walk away from the meeting with Kim.<\/p>\n<p>How would that look to the Nobel committee that awards these prizes? Not well, if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>If North and South Korea strike a peace deal, if the North de-nukes the peninsula and if Kim and Trump strike a long-term agreement that leads to normalization of relations between the U.S. and the reclusive Marxist regime &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>By all means, consider the president as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient. But not before.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and one more thing. If by chance Donald Trump actually is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the entire world will never hear the end of it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Never!<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They&#8217;re chanting &#8220;No-bel!
