Trump says Japanese prime minister nominated him for Nobel Peace Prize
Source: Politico
President Donald Trump claimed Friday that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to broker peace between North and South Korea.
Trump said Abe showed the president the most beautiful five-page letter that he sent to the Norwegian committee that awards the prestigious diplomatic prize each year.
He had rocket ships, and he had missiles flying over Japan, and they had alarms going off, you know that, Trump said of Abe, speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday. Now all of a sudden, they feel good. They feel safe. I did that.
The Japanese embassy in Washington did not immediately return an email seeking confirmation that Abe had, in fact, submitted Trump's name for the peace prize.

(17,863 posts)way out of this, but I wish he would issue a statement stating that the US has a problem because it is being run by a delusional incompetent fool, and the legislature should take action.
That coming from one of our most important allies might finally get folks to take notice. The European leaders might also want to take a swing as well.
