  1. 0:00 So let's talk about the Nobel Peace Prize and the debate around Trump's potential nomination there.
  2. 0:08 So just to name off a few a few positive things that Trump's done even since 2016 and his term now, you've got the Abraham Accords, which is a historic normalization of relations between Israel, the UAE, uh Bahrain, and others, just to name off a few, and it was a monumental diplomatic achievement.
  3. 0:28 Then diplomacy in North Korea, global military engagement, some in Russia and Ukraine, obviously the Middle East still gets that minute, and even in Africa, like in the Congo.
  4. 0:42 Um, but according to the New Yorker in an article, Venezuela's Maria Karina Machado, who just won the Noble Peace Prize, for what she's doing in Venezuela, um, with all the chaos that has ensued there, she even says that Trump is deserving of the Noble Peace Prize, which is ironic because Trump campaigned and used Venezuela as a scapegoat, uh with all the illegal immigrants bringing gang violence and their social economy that just does not work there in place.
  5. 1:10 And they all he also deported Venezuelans to El Salvador, which were a part of those gangs that he was against.
  6. 1:17 And recently, if anything, the peace deal in Gaza was unremarkable and left both the right and the left in awe.
  7. 1:25 Um but Trump campaigned on staying out of Israel and is now seen as a national hero there.
  8. 1:32 So do you think Trump is deserving, even with these irrational moves as of late?
