People should not be given prestigious accolades for doing things they ought to have done anyway.
(And in any case, as the Obama example illustrates, the Nobel Peace prize is now more a pathetic joke than a prestigious accolade ...)

Who is creating these silly tweets for Rand? so because we made a mistake by giving it to Obama, we should now double down on that mistake by giving it to Trump? Trump has continue the Obama war against Yemen, doubled down on Syria, tried to start new ones in Iran and Venezuela. Lastly, is there a rule that it should go to an American president? if no, then why can't this PEACE prize to be given to an actual man of peace?
Trump has NOT tried to start new wars in Iran and Venezuela and he has been pulling us out of Syria.
But may be we shouldn't encourage him to do the right thing, it will be so much more satisfying to let the warmongers be the only people he listens to so we can say "told ya so".

Just completed a very good meeting on Afghanistan. Many on the opposite side of this 19 year war, and us, are looking to make a deal – if possible!

You do know it was this encouraging rationale that led to Obama getting a peace prize, with Obama, he actually got the prize before he started his militarism, Trump at the point has shown everyone that he is a man of war.
Sorry but you are wrong, Trump has been trying for a while now to get it on with Iran and Venezuela and he is not pulling out of Syria. They plan on keeping the fighting going on for more years to come while occupying large areas of Syria with their armies or proxies.

We will be all out by January, 2019. He promised. In March 2018, we will be out of Syria "very soon". He says a lot of things he never does.
Who dropped the '"Mother of All Bombs" on Afghanistan and set records for drone attacks (and stopped sharing information on such attacks so people are unaware they still continue)? Who expanded our involvement in Syria and Yemen?

"Government ... does not exist of necessity, but rather by virtue of a tragic, almost comical combination of klutzy, opportunistic terrorism against sitting ducks whom it pretends to shelter, plus our childish phobia of responsibility, praying to be exempted from the hard reality of life on life's terms." Wolf DeVoon
"...Make America Great Again. I'm interested in making American FREE again. Then the greatness will come automatically."Ron Paul
The main reason Nobel committee gave for giving him the awardThe Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.
Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama’s initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.

Trump loves awards and is probably pissed Obama got a Nobel and he may not. He was pushing for one for his photo-ops (there has not been any actual substance behind them) with North Korea and hopes that Peace With Israel may give him another shot (buying off Palestinians without giving them more freedom and rights won't fly- that plan is Dead on Arrival). Surrender in Afghanistan won't do it (the Taliban know how badly he wants out so they aren't going to concede anything- why should they? and the Afghan government isn't even part of the talks).
Obama got his for being the first African American elected President. He hadn't done anything else yet. It was a "hope" award that he would eventually lead to new and better things. Not much changed.

Trump doesn't necessarily deserve anything but yanking Obama's and handing it to Trump is much more favorable than letting Obama keep an unearned prize.
Plus it would trigger the left and some TDS patients on RPF.
THE SQUAD of RPF
