A Nobel Peas Prize? [1]

Maybe it was to spite his Wall Street critics that TACO Man decided to get off the fence for once and give the green light to the GOP Hawks and bomb “the hell out of” Iran. Actually several big beautiful bombs were dropped on a few Iranian nuclear enrichment centers in remote hardened sites. Iran’s response was to send a forewarned tepid attack against a US military base in Qatar. No damage, no casualties. As a result, the fear of an expanded war with US and Israel versus Iran and allies Russia and China never materialized.
It appears Trump’s “limited war” gamble actually paid off in spite of Republican skepticism and Democratic opposition. The next step was to get Israel and Iran to stop lobbing missiles and firing drones at each other. When the two lifelong adversaries agreed to a ceasefire, then promptly violated it, Trump dropped the f-bomb on both countries.* And what do you know, the fighting stopped and the ceasefire is holding. At least for now.
The MSM is not giving the Abominable Showman any credit for interrupting hostilities, but instead focused on the possibility that the US bombing raid did not “totally obliterate” Iran’s nuclear facilities as the President originally asserted. In the meantime, our Cravin’ Praise POTUS claims he deserves not just one but several Nobel Peace Prizes for all the great things he’s done since his birth to bring “Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men.” (Let the courts decide what he’s done to Women.)
Personally, I’d have no problem if the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Peace Prize to DoJo for stopping the war between Israel and Iran. In fact, I think he’d deserve two more prizes if he could also stop the wars in Gaza and Ukraine and a fourth one if there were no more wars for the rest of his term. Also, dangle a Lifetime Achievement Award for domestic peace and tranquility if he reverses his terrible policies toward undocumented migrants by providing work permits, temporary asylum, and a path to citizenship. In lieu of formal recognition, perhaps saying “Good Boy!” over and over again for any minor achievement would placate the “toddler king” enough so that we can survive his “terrible two’s” for the next three and a half years.
*(Footnote: I personally wondered if Trump perhaps sent something like the following note to both Netanyahu of Israel and the Ayatollah of Iran: “Everyone knows I’m crazy. Stop the fighting or I will launch two nuclear warheads, one to the center of Tehran and the other to Tel Aviv. Kapish?” This was basically the message to the people of Earth from space aliens Klaatu and Gort in the 1951 movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still”: Stop the violence or be annihilated.)
