"So I asked the audience yesterday, if the peace lasts, if this agreement holds a year from now, should President Trump receive a Nobel Peace Prize? More than 35,000 people voted, not scientific, but interesting nonetheless. And in round numbers, 75% said no, which I thought was more reflective of Trump derangement syndrome than anything else. I've looked at what Alfred Nobel's will actually says, and character is not expressly stated."
"The Nobel Committee honored Machado on Friday for her activism in opposition to Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro's regime. The decision sent waves of apoplexy through Trump's allies and supporters. Many perceived a slight when Nobel Committee Chair Jrgen Watne Frydnes was asked about Trump, and responded "This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. So we base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel.""
Michael Smerconish argued that President Donald Trump could merit a Nobel Peace Prize if a Gaza peace agreement endures over the next year. The Nobel Committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan activist Maria Corina Machado for opposition to Nicolas Maduro, and Machado dedicated the honor to Trump. Committee Chair Jrgen Watne Frydnes said decisions rest solely on laureates' work and Alfred Nobel's will, citing portraits of laureates embodying courage and integrity. Smerconish cited a poll of more than 35,000 respondents in which about 75% opposed awarding Trump the prize and labeled that reaction Trump Derangement Syndrome. He noted Nobel's will emphasizes fraternity among nations and does not expressly require character.
