OPINION:
Your 17 May editorial, “A bad week for Democrats,” says President Trump is not likely to win the Nobel Peace Prize. That’s a no-brainer, because he’s even less likely to accept it. He wouldn’t want his name sullied by association with the likes of Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat. Knowing this, the Nobel Committee wouldn’t embarrass themselves by doing the right thing.
On the other hand, Kim Jong-un would likely win the prize if he were to withdraw his objections, and the June 12 summit in Singapore takes place as planned. He’s a much better match with recent winners.
