A few weeks ago, Bibi sent a letter nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize. I’m sure a testimonial from a man most of the world considers a war criminal will be enough to push him over the line.
What, exactly, has Trump done to deserve the prize? Is he worthy because he only bombed Iran once? Because he tried unsuccessfully to get a ceasefire in Gaza? Because he waffles about sending weapons to Ukraine? Because he might be willing to trade Taiwan for economic concessions? Because he only threatens to engage in military operations in Mexico and Panama?
The analogy isn’t perfect, but when I heard about the letter, I imagined Mussolini nominating Hitler for the prize because he agreed at Munich not to swallow Czechoslovakia in one gulp. Trump, to his credit, isn’t a warmonger, but he certainly isn’t a force for peace and stability, either.
