Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) wants to make sure President Trump gets credit where credit is due.
In a Friday morning Fox News appearance, Graham said that Trump would be worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize if his negotiations lead to denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.
"It wouldn't have happened without Trump," said Graham, referring to a Friday announcement that South Korea's Moon Jae-in and North Korea's Kim Jong Un had pledged to pursue denuclearization. "Donald Trump convinced North Korea and China, he was serious about bringing about change. We're not there yet, but if this happens, President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize." Former President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, just 11 months after taking office, with his prioritization of global denuclearization being a major factor.

If Trump had sent 159 missiles into Syria past week instead of just 59,then maybe he could be considered. This was just not enough.
Just cuz his missiles only go into sea instead of Syria or he doesn't drop MOABs to take out 100s at a time including families, it does not mean KJU should be given Nobel Peace Prize.

It couldn’t have been easy, but Rep. Adam Schiff, California Democrat, offered praise Sunday to President Trump for convincing North Korea to enter into negotiations on its nuclear weapons program.
“I think it’s more than fair to say that the combination of the president’s unpredictability and indeed his bellicosity had something to do with the North Koreans deciding to come to the table,” Mr. Schiff said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Just a few short hours after the historic first crossing south of the border by Kim to meet Moon pledging to end hostilities between the two countries and work towards the “complete denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula, Reuters reports that Moon told a meeting of senior secretaries, according to a presidential Blue House official who briefed media:
“President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize. What we need is only peace.”This follows Moon's comments in January that Trump "deserves big credit for bringing about the inter-Korean talks. It could be a resulting work of the U.S.-led sanctions and pressure."

VLADIVOSTOK, Russia (AP) — A smiling and upbeat Kim Jong Un arrived Wednesday in far-eastern Russia aboard an armored train for a much-anticipated summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin that comes amid deadlocked global diplomacy over the North Korean leader’s nuclear program.
Both leaders have high hopes for their first one-on-one meeting: Kim for a win after his failed second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump and Putin for a chance to raise Moscow’s clout in the region and gain more leverage with Washington.

North Korea releases photos showing explosion of liaison office jointly run with South Korea
USA TODAY
June 17, 2020
'Faded away into a dark nightmare': North Korea says diplomacy with Trump has failed.
Tuesday's action follows a statement from North Korea saying that it was formally abandoning attempts to pursue diplomatic relations with the White House because of "hypocritical" and "empty promises" made by President Donald Trump. The statement by Foreign Minister Ri Son Gwon was made on the second anniversary of Trump's historic handshake with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un at a summit in Singapore.
North Korea has demanded immediate economic sanctions relief in return for starting the process of dismantling its nuclear weapons program. Trump has been unwilling to meet that demand, leading to the gridlocked denuclearization negotiations.

Robert O’Brien says Trump should be ‘front-runner’ for Nobel Peace Prize
By Mark Moore
August 13, 2020
National security adviser Robert O’Brien said Thursday that President Trump should be the front-runner for the Nobel Peace Prize because of his work in the Middle East and the agreement announced Thursday between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
“When you step back and take a look at what this president has done on the peace front, and it wouldn’t surprise me, it’ll take some time in this environment, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the president’s eventually nominated for a Nobel Prize,” O’Brien said during the White House press briefing.
“Today’s work is an example of why he would be rightly considered and should be a front-runner for the Nobel Peace Prize,” he added.
O’Brien noted Trump’s work to put pressure on Iran by pulling the US out of the nuclear deal, wiping out the Islamic State in the Middle East and cutting off funding for terrorists in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria.

Medication For Dementia
Medication for reversible dementias
Some reversible dementias exist: for example, vitamin B12 deficiency can cause pernicious anemia, leading to dementia that can be treated by addressing the deficiency. Medication and supplements that can completely cure reversible dementias include:
- Vitamin B12 supplements for pernicious anemia
- Hormonal supplements for hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or other imbalances
- SSRIs or other antidepressants for depression symptoms which may mimic dementia
- Antibiotics or medications to treat brain infections like encephalitis or meningitis
Medication for managing dementia symptoms
When a dementia condition cannot be treated, slowed, or reversed, doctors and medical professionals focus on medications that can make living with dementia easier and more manageable. There are several classes of medications proven to work at treating symptoms and reducing the effects of dementia, which include:
- Cholinesterase inhibitors: Aricept (donepezil), Razadyne (galantamine) and Exelon (rivastigmine). Cholinesterase inhibitors alleviate symptoms of Lewy-body dementia and Alzheimer's disease by slowing the breakdown of Acetylcholinesterase, which plays a role in learning, memory, and cognitive skills. Cholinesterase inhibitors decrease disorientation, confusion, and memory problems, but can present unpleasant side effects like dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
- Glutamate inhibitors: Namenda (memantine) prevents the harmful overproduction of glutamate that accompanies dementia. Glutamate overproduction leads to increased cell damage and neurodegeneration, so memantine works to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease by preventing this damage.
- Medications for managing mental health, mood, and behavioral issues:antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood-stabilizing medications. Dementia causes mood swings and increased anxiety and agitation, so mood-stabilizing medications can be helpful for alleviating symptoms. A high percentage of dementia sufferers are afflicted by depression, so antidepressants are used to increase wellbeing and quality of life. Although antipsychotics are sometimes prescribed for those with hallucinations and paranoia, they present a risk of dangerous side effects and are used in moderation and under careful supervision.
Side effects of medications used to alleviate dementia symptoms include nausea, dizziness, vomiting, slowed heart rate and diarrhea. A doctor or healthcare professional can prescribe the medication that best fits an individual's condition and situation.

Therapy
Research has shown that therapy improves well being, day-to-day functioning, and overall mood in dementia sufferers. Dementia is correlated with increased anxiety and depression, so professional counseling and a strong support system are integral to maintaining and improving overall well being. Patients can choose from many different types of therapy, including therapies that align with their interests like music or art therapy.
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy
Also known as CST, cognitive stimulation therapy is clinically proven to help those with mild to moderate dementia and is the premiere therapy method for dementia patients. CST involves training memory, language ability, and problem solving skills in order to improve cognitive functioning, and can increase memory and reasoning skills without medication.
Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy is usually administered by qualified family or loved ones of dementia sufferers, or by the caregivers of afflicted individuals. This method is twice as effective as antipsychotics for treating symptoms like anxiety, aggression, depression, wandering, and insomnia. Behavioral therapy involves tackling the triggers or causes of unwanted behaviors like aggression or wandering in order to alleviate and provide outlets for these behaviors without medication. For example, a trained caregiver may find that feelings of restlessness or stress cause their patient to wander away from home, and can implement an exercise regimen to manage this restlessness.
Other dementia therapies can be beneficial based on the situation, and include:
- Montessori-Based Treatment
- Reality Orientation Therapy, which works to reduce confusion and disorientation that accompanies dementia by providing orienting information about time and location several times throughout the day.
- Validation Therapy, which involves discussing and accepting the ideas and values of dementia patients in order to foster positive communication and reduce stress for the sufferer.

Managing Dementia
Dementia hugely affects everyday functioning both for sufferers and for their loved ones, and coping with dementia can require major lifestyle and environmental changes. A comprehensive management system includes therapy and counseling to manage possible stress, anxiety, and depression. A patient suffering from more advanced stages of dementia may need a caregiver who can provide regular or semi-regular support.
Some tools that sufferers and caregivers can use to manage dementia include:
- External memory aids: systems or devices, whether electronic or not, that help make up for decreased memory. These can include alarms that remind patients to take medication, pictures, notes, message boards, or clocks with information to help reduce confusion and disorientation.
- Consistent daily routine: Establishing a daily rhythm is helpful for dementia patients, and a consistent schedule allows patients a higher level of stability and independence. Caregivers may also notice times of the day when patients are more cooperative and less disoriented - important events or activities should be scheduled for these periods.
- Stress management: Stressors and anxiety levels are different in each individual, so it's helpful to experiment with several different stress management methods. Examples of stress-relieving techniques include exercise, calming music, interactions with pets and animals, meditation, and social interaction.
- Environment modifications: Factors like loud noises, bad lighting, glare-prone reflective surfaces, or clashing colors and patterns can cause agitation, anxiety, and disorientation in dementia patients. Create a peaceful, calming environment to help reduce stress in patients.
