Should Trump get the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war in Greenland?

It was almost a sure thing. American troops were going to invade and fight the NATO forces sent to that island nation.

But Trump, with all his diplomatic skills, went before an international group in Davos, Switzerland, and announced that he was not going to attack Greenland. Thanks to his great vision and foresight, war had been averted.

At last count, this was the ninth war he has prevented.

Isn't it about time to give him the Nobel Peace Prize?

Trump confused Greenland and Iceland four times during his dementia fueled speech in Davos. When Karoline Leavitt was asked about it she insisted that it was the press that was confused, I guess along with everyone else on the planet that listened. I swear if Trump dropped a massive #2 on a dessert plate, Leavitt would eat it up and claim that it was chocolate mousse, and probably ask for seconds. Baghdad Bob had nothing on her.

I've known people like that. Create a problem, present themselves as the solution. Presto! Ingratiate themselves to you.

Goldie Hahn's dumb blonde schtick is still funny too, and kind of sweet in a pre-feminist movement kind of way.
