What Donald Trump, the illegitimate president of America 2.0, has done in Korea is the most stunning foreign policy achievement in the combined history of the former United States and its successor. It is a miracle. Xi Jinping was great help. Moon Jei-in played an even greater role. But it would be spreading the Nobel Peace Prize too thin in my eyes to award a four-way or even a three-way prize. It is Kim and Trump who have worked this miracle, they should share it together.
Know what though? I don't see the Nobel committee omitting a Korean head of state for peace on the Korean peninsula. And Trump is not the Nobel Committee's cup of tea. It's going to stick in their craw to award a share of the Peace prize to a guy who a year ago vowed to "totally destroy North Korea" and who brought the world to within 2 1/2 minutes of nuclear midnight. Not the Nobel Peace Committee's way of doing things. That however is how this miracle was birthed, there is no denying it and to omit Trump would be an outrageous injustice. I would take a Trump-Kim-Moon three-way right now even though I think it should be Trump-Kim. I'm afraid what the committee might do if they decide to award only two.
