Trump's a peace of work

AHEAD of Donald Trump's Ukraine “peace talks” with Vladimir Putin, his ever-loyal hype woman and national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, delivered one of the most fantastical endorsements in living political memory.

“The President has now ended conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia. Israel and Iran. Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. India and Pakistan. Serbia and Kosovo. And Egypt and Ethiopia,” she gushed.

“This means President Trump 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.”

Really? Why stop there? Leavitt could have tossed in Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, the Sharks and the Jets, maybe even Batman and the Joker for good measure. If we're workshopping fan fiction, let's commit to the genre. But the pantomime doesn’t stop with Leavitt's fairy-tale foreign policy.

Trump is practically salivating over the Nobel Peace Prize - treating it like a trophy you snag at a golf charity dinner, all while furious that his nemesis Barack Obama has his.
