Democrats and Republicans may not agree on much, but this issue united many of them.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt managed to unite many on the left and right alike on Thursday with a claim about President Donald Trump so over-the-top that neither side was buying it.

Leavitt shared a link on X to a USA Today column arguing that Trump is deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.

The text of Leavitt’s post on X was also the headline of the story: “Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize. He’s achieved more than those who’ve won before.”

The column argued that Trump’s attack on Iran last month stopped the nation from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Trump himself claimed the strike “totally obliterated” Iran’s facilities. Analysts have been more measured, saying the strikes may have only set Iran’s nuclear program back by a few months.

...largely because Trump couldn't help telegraphing the coming attack through the mass media for weeks on end. If the goal was to deny Iran the technology to build a nuclear weapon, well...the kids would call this an "epic fail". The odds that Iran will join the nuclear club are now close to 100%. Hell of a job, Donnie!
