Nobel Prize? Nah! More likely the Order of Lenin!
Trump has managed to do in six months what the British in 1776 and 1812, the South in the 1860s, Germany in 1917, Hitler in the 1930s and 40s, Khrushchev in the 1960s and even Putin since 2005 couldn't do - bring America down!
It's only a matter of time before Putin bestows the Order of Lenin* to "Civilian" Trump.
*The Order of Lenin was an award named after Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the October Revolution. It was established by the Central Executive Committee on 6 April 1930. The order was the highest civilian decoration bestowed by the Soviet Union. The order was awarded to:
Civilians for outstanding services rendered to the State
Members of the armed forces for exemplary service
Those who promoted friendship and cooperation between people and in strengthening peace
Those with meritorious services to the Soviet state and society
