The Nobel Prize doesn’t matter: Trump has pulled off the diplomatic coup of the century
Maria Corina Machado is a brave and resourceful woman, but it’s clear who the real winner of this year’s award should be

She is, by all accounts, a brave and resourceful woman. Maria Corina Machado has led the fight for freedom and democracy in Venezuela with courage and dignity. Perhaps she will eventually help bring about real change in a country that has suffered from a succession of terrible rulers.

And yet surely almost anyone apart from the Nobel Peace Prize committee in Oslo can see who the real winner of this year’s award should be: President Trump. Sure, we will have to see if it holds, but the ceasefire in Gaza is the diplomatic coup of the century.

The sceptics said it could never be done. The two sides were too far apart. Too much blood had already been spilled. And that the fanatics on both sides would never settle for anything less than total victory and the complete annihilation of the other side.

And yet despite all that President Trump will, so long as everything goes to plan, be in Egypt this weekend to attend a signing ceremony. The hostages will be released. And the fighting will stop – at least for now.

This is one of the biggest loads of shit I have ever read.
