The Nobel 'Peacemaker' #DonaldTrump ?

Trump has so far portrayed himself as a global peacemaker who could stop wars and bring warring parties to the table for talks. Until it came to Iran, the President had arrived at the conclusion that the strikes were necessary for bringing peace.

He claimed credit yesterday for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan recently, despite New Delhi denying any US role in the halt of hostilities with Islamabad. He claimed that he even stopped a war between Serbia and Kosovo, and ensured peace between Egypt and Ethiopia. He had earlier claimed that Russia wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if he were the President back in 2022.

But, he lamented, he won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for any of his efforts.

His idea of peace appeared to have changed by June 22, with him declaring that "now is the time for peace" after the US strikes on Iran. "There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days," he said in his address from the White House.
