The Trump Peace Prize? Matt Gaetz suggests renaming honor ‘they only give to liberals’

President Donald Trump on Friday claimed he hasn’t received worldwide recognition for his peacemaking efforts because of politics.

A reporter asked Trump to respond to former Congressman Matt Gaetz’ suggestion that the president should receive a Nobel Peace Prize if he brokers a deal allowing nuclear inspectors into both Iran and Israel amid simmering tensions.

Gaetz, who withdrew as Trump’s pick for U.S. attorney general amid sex trafficking and drug allegations, suggested the honor would be renamed the Trump Peace Prize if the president pulled off the feat.

Trump claimed he was snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize several times.

“They should give me the Nobel prize for Rwanda — and have you looked — the Congo? You could say Serbia-Kosovo. You could say a lot of them. The big one is India and Pakistan. I should have gotten it four or five times. I should get it for the … Abraham Accords would be a good one too,” Trump said, referring to the 2020 deals between Israel and Arab nations.

But Trump said he has no shot at a Nobel prize because of politics.

“They won’t give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals,” he said.

Only four U.S. presidents — three of them Democrats — have won the Nobel Peace Prize: Republican Theodore Roosevelt (1906), Democrat Woodrow Wilson (1919), Democrat Jimmy Carter (2002) and Democrat Barack Obama (2009).
