“President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office,” she said as she listed some of those efforts. “It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”
While Trump has had his hand in some ceasefire agreements, his efforts overall have been a mixed bag.
And some of the biggest conflicts have continued to rage.
Trump vowed repeatedly to end the war between Russian and Ukraine on his first day in office, but the situation has only worsened. He’s also promised to end the war in Gaza, but Israel’s assault in response to the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks has continued, and the humanitarian crisis has escalated.
But Leavitt’s demand is in line with Trump’s longtime grievance over the award.
He’s complained repeatedly about not getting one during his previous term in office, insisting that he should have had “four or five” of them by now.
As a result, Leavitt’s critics fired back with some facts about her boss. Some also noted that she seemed to pronounce “Nobel” as “noble,” which, ironically, is how Trump himself has spelled the name of the prize in the past.
And a few compared her over-the-top praise for her boss to North Korean propaganda.
