Whatever good that will come from the Korea's agreeing to cease hostilities. I can pretty much guarantee that dumb ass tRump has nothing to do with it.
Good point.
Given the need for power and control without the strong-arm tactics, I doubt that'll be given up easily.

There is a chance that all this grandstanding is a ploy to maintain it. Either way, Kim will remain in power and his people dirt poor and enslaved.

Would not invading new countries and destroying their entire society count as a peaceful action? Because the last winner failed to take that action. Our current POTUS is like the first in about ten presidents that has not invaded yet another country. I mean we still got like six and a half years to go I guess, but I feel confident Trump will do more to wind down existing operations than to gear up for new ones.

America wouldn't be winning the peace prize...Trump would be and he has done more for peace than any President since the Korean War began. I know it would hurt, but what did Obama do to win it other than being born black?
If North Korea the US and South Korea can come to an agreement economic sanctions could be lifted. That could go a long way in helping the North Korean people.

Unlike Obama, who oversaw the destruction of an additional three new nations during his reign, Trump has not actually initiated a single new campaign. He simply delegated to the military to finish what was started before him. On the flip side, it is thanks to Donald Trump that the North Korean leader finally had enough fear put into him to finally negotiate a peace settlement with their southern cousins.
It is for these reasons, I sincerely believe that Donal Trump is able to legitimately claim this award.
Really?? Sometimes I wonder if I live in the same world as other people.
I'm just not even gonna bother...what's the point?
Sometimes, I really wish I could be that delusional. I'd probably be happier.

This may seem like a coincidence, and deserve its own thread maybe, but has anybody noticed our lack of forceful condemnation of China for putting missle defense systems in place in the South China Sea Islands? Seems odd.
And now North Korea is all of a sudden getting friendly with the USA.
Maybe China told NK to get real friendly, make Trump look like a hero, and in return no vigorous response from USA for China putting missle defense systems on disputed islands in South China Sea?
Just a thought.
