I don't know about all this but I do wonder, only like 4 past presidents got the award so Obama must have really done something big to get it but I have to admit I have no clue what it was.
@Subsumedpat As was stated, it was projected based on projected achievement. But (and this is key) Obama neither sought nor lobbied for the Nobel prize. And Trump and his ilk might not be yammering on about it but for Obama’s having been so honored. Petty and highly unpresidential ? Absolutely. But those are the kind of dishonorable people Trump and his supporters are. 😞

@bijouxbroussard You are kidding right ? You can really be awarded a Nobel Prize based on projected achievement that has not happened yet can you. If that is the case why did'nt they give it to Reagan when he said tear down that wall, they could have projected it was going to happen and Germany would be peacefully reunified.
@Subsumedpat You would have to ask those awarding it, wouldn’t you ? But even if Obama shouldn’t have received it (arguably) that’s a long way from saying Trump deserves one.

And btw, Ronald Reagan was knighted (GHB). Iran Contra and all.

@bijouxbroussard The OP did qualify it with "if it works out with N Korea" seems if he is actually successful at actually getting it done he should get one since someone else got one for basically good intentions but no results.
@Subsumedpat You mean because “John” got one “Jimmy” should, like the Nobel Prize is a cookie ? Childishness. Did Nixon win one for China even though the rest of his presidency went down in flames ? He was nominated, but...🤔
