Hillary Clinton Willing To Nominate President Trump For Nobel Prize Upon One Condition


I never thought I would hear this!

Hillary Clinton has announced she is willing to nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

However, there’s a catch.

Clinton explained that she will nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize only if he’s able to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.

The Hill reported more on Hillary’s surprising statement:

As President Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the hopes of ending the war in Ukraine, his long-held dream of nabbing a Nobel Peace Prize has an unlikely supporter: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In a recent podcast appearance, Clinton said she would support Trump for the coveted prize if he were able to negotiate an end to the more than three-year war that sufficiently repudiates Putin and his claims to Ukrainian territory.

“If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, to make it clear there must be a ceasefire,” she told “Raging Moderates” co-host Jessica Tarlov.

“If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee added.

Trump has increasingly campaigned to receive the prize — which was awarded to then-President Obama in 2009 — for his work in a variety of conflicts, including facilitating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May. He also reportedly called the prime minister of Norway last month to ask about his nomination, Norwegian press reported.

Watch her say it here:

NBC News reported more on Trump’s chances of getting the Nobel Peace Prize:

Toward the end of Donald Trump’s first term, his national security adviser turned to him in the Oval Office and said he should win the Nobel Peace Prize for his work normalizing relations between Israel and some Arab states.

Another aide chimed in, saying the last president, Barack Obama, had won the award “for nothing.”

“Trump’s attitude was, ‘Whatever,’” recalled the adviser, Robert O’Brien, in an interview. “He wasn’t concerned about the recognition.”

Any whiff of indifference is now gone. Back in office, Trump and his aides are intensifying a public campaign to snag the award, citing a string of peace deals while making a case that snubbing him again would be an injustice.

Day by day, the White House is amplifying Trump’s role in curbing hostilities and putting out the message that this most combative of presidents is at heart a “peacemaker.”

Aides have highlighted his role in settling disputes between Israel and Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Thailand, and Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, promoting “worldwide calls” from the heads of several of those nations for Trump to win the peace prize.

Trump is also touting his efforts to end a worrying conflict between two nuclear-armed combatants, India and Pakistan. He suggested he used trade as an inducement to stop the fighting, though an Indian official has denied that Trump’s mediation made any difference.

Speaking last month, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the president has “brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office. It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,” she added.
