Donald Trump, who publicly touts himself as a “dealmaker-in-chief,” is privately upset at his failure to strike deals to stop the two wars he has promised to end, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
At a closed-door meeting with top donors at Mar-a-Lago last week, Trump admitted that the frustration he feels from his inability to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine keeps him up at night, people in the room told the WSJ.
He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Trump has frequently claimed is negotiating in good faith, has been driving an especially hard bargain. Putin wants “the whole thing,” Trump said, referring to Ukraine.
Oh, for sure. I’m not saying they should have given one to Obama. That and Kissinger are why it’s not completely unthinkable that Trump might actually get one somehow.
Obama and Kissinger are not even close to being the same. Kissinger deserved life in prison. Obama was just doing the same old shit every American president has done in the past century.
Never said they were anything like the same. Just that neither of them had done anything particularly worthy of a Nobel peace prize. As you say, every American president in the past century would have gotten one, were that the case.
