Trump: 'Everyone thinks' I deserve Nobel Peace Prize

Trump said Thursday that "everyone thinks" he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, after weeks of suggestions from some that he should be honored for his diplomatic efforts on the Korean Peninsula.

“Everyone thinks so, but I would never say it," Trump said when asked by a reporter in the White House if he thinks he should win the prestigious award.

Ahead of a historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Trump said he only hopes for the U.S. to broker a deal for the country to denuclearize and desist its missile threats.

“I want to get it finished. The prize I want is victory for the world, not even here. I want victory for the world because that’s what we’re talking about. So that’s the only prize I want," Trump said.

Its a need peoples belief in Trump he reflects their version of reality.

That's ok he is a strong man maybe a little neurotic but the problem in the fact the Trump reality is not based on the TRUTH so the faithful must work overtime trying to justify their reality.

So the Trump faithful stick their blinders on and down the hole they go but I am hoping enough jump off the Trump train as the media reports info closer to the truth.

Either way we are heading for a constitutional crisis hope the truth wins

Even it were only just me who thinks otherwise (and it ain't), it wouldn't be everybody. So, another lie.

it's too early for a mission-accomplished victory lap.
You have done nothing yet, Trump.

..."many people don't know" statement, which typically tranlates as "I don't know."

"Everyone thinks," means "NO one thinks."
