There has been some speculation that if Trump didn't win this one, he'll lose all motivation in making peace, at least in the near future. Like for example Gaza.

The man has the shortest attention span in history, and needs constant dopamine hits to continue on something.

But as I said in another thread, María Corina Machado is more than worthy - and well deserved. It is just such a shame that Trump will likely throw the biggest tantrum, and destroy stuff, for no other reason that he didn't get the big shiny thing he wanted.

Do you think he would be motivated to continue, had he been awarded the medal? His wishes would have been satisfied after all.

Were this the reason for him to receive it, he would deserve it even less, and erase every shred of dignity this award ever had.

I think Trump would totally deserve it... if the peace turns out to be a lasting one.

Big if, there have been many agreements between Israel and Palestine!

Probably need to wait at least 2 years, preferably like 8-10 but by then he might already be dead (natural causes).
