I understand that President Trump is keen on earning himself a Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize was established to honor that person, persons or organization that has “done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”

To assist President in the process of winning this prestigious award, I’d like to send along a few helpful hints:

  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not name warships after themselves
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not threaten to annex other countries
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not deny climate change or actively work to undermine the development of renewable energy sources
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not question basic science nor place tens of millions of children in jeopardy of being infected with deadly, but easily preventable, diseases.
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not refer to white South Africans as an “oppressed minority”
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not use food as a political weapon
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not approve of genocide
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not side with dictators who invade other countries.
  • Nobel Peace Prize winners do not order that children be wrenched from the arms of their mothers and placed in cages
  • Novel Peace Prize winners do not commit war crimes or allow those under their command to do so

Assuming he can abide by these few simple tips, I’m certain that President Trump is well on his way to achieving his goal.
