Trump claims he stopped 'slaughter' of 3 million people in syria making case for Nobel Peace Prize
DONALD TRUMP CLAIMS HE STOPPED 'SLAUGHTER' OF 3 MILLION PEOPLE IN SYRIA AS HE MAKES CASE FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
During a long speech in the Rose Garden on Friday, President Donald Trump claimed that he was responsible for saving around three million people in Syria from being slaughtered.
Addressing representatives of the media during a press conference at which he declared a national emergency over the alleged need for a wall on the southern border, the president noted that, unlike his predecessor President Barack Obama, he will likely never win the Nobel Peace Prize despite his efforts to promote world peace.
“They gave it to Obama. He didn’t even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, ‘oh, what did I get it for?’…With me, I probably will never get it. But if you look at Idlib province in Syria, I stopped the slaughter of perhaps 3 million people. Nobody talks about that,” Trump said.
"Russia and Iran and Syria were going to go in and perhaps destroy three million people in order to get 45,000 terrorists. And I heard about it from a woman who had her parents and her brothers living there and she said, ‘please, please,’ and I thought, and I said, ‘no, it can’t happen,’” Trump continued. “And I put out a statement that ‘you better not do it’…And in all fairness to Russia, and Iran, and Syria, they didn’t attack.
