That Obama got one has always been a big burr under his saddle. He has made sure he's been nominated nearly every year. In his mind, he deserves one: "Nobody has ever done more for peace than me."

(12,900 posts)Putin cannot be given an acre of Ukranian soil. To do otherwise will (1) give him a "win" that he can build on for his next evasion, (2) terrorize NATO and (3) show the Chinese that America is a paper tiger.
It won't be hard to do. Russian media is already praising Trump for his decisive victory.
Putin knows just how to manipulate Trump. Flattery will get you anywhere.

Kissinger was a refugee from Nazi Germany who later earned a Bronze Star in the U.S. Army during WWII. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard University then earned his Masters and PhD there. He also served on their faculty.
Trump is widely regarded as a vulgarian bully and con man with none of the personal accomplishments Kissinger earned in his early years.

(12,900 posts)He's got another four years to get it. I bet he'll try again if the war ends, whether he negotiates it or not.
Maybe once he's out of office he'll volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and win because of his humility.
