Kashmir is not a sweater as Trump schmoozes cease-fires [1]

"These are not the facts you're looking for..." Will Krasnov's Jedi Mind Tricks yield a Nobel Prize. Much like stagflation and a looming recession, Trump now tries to leverage what should be the honor of “winning” a Nobel Peace Prize.
Being the weekend, shortly after his post on the ceasefire in South Asia, Trump left the White House for a round of golf at his club in Virginia, perhaps feeling a step closer to his much-desired personal goal of becoming a Nobel laureate — or, perhaps, adding to his complaint for if he does not receive the honor.
Any consideration for international recognition of Trump’s diplomatic record needs to be weighed against his failure to stop the fighting in Gaza — and his disturbing vision of its future — as well as threats to take back the Panama Canal and annex Greenland with possible military force.
On the surface, an admirable mission statement, but underneath lies a personal motive and related gripe. President Trump has made no secret that one thing he really desires is a Nobel Peace Prize.
He has complained about not getting one for almost a decade and is particularly galled by the fact that President Barack Obama was awarded one after just nine months in office for working toward “the great climatic challenges.”
On the campaign trail last year, Trump said: “If I were named Obama, I would have had the Nobel Prize given to me in 10 seconds.”
