As President Donald Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday over ending Russia’s battle on Ukraine, Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hasn’t missed a beat, utilizing the assembly to unashamedly beg for a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump, once more.
Leavitt went on Fox Information on Thursday and continued telling half-truths about Trump’s position in brokering peace offers and ceasefires in six world conflicts.
Leavitt’s push for a Nobel Prize for Trump, one thing he has been salivating after for years, began as soon as once more when Fox Information host Lawrence Jones requested Leavitt how she would reply to liberal criticism of Trump’s assembly with Putin.
Trump has spent the week complaining about “unfair” media protection on the upcoming assembly with Putin, who is called a slick and underhanded negotiator. A number of former Trump supporters, together with Trump’s ex-national safety adviser John Bolton, have raised issues in regards to the summit, calling it “an important victory for Putin.”

“A number of the individuals in liberal media, in liberal circles, those that the President fired, mentioned that the President goes to be embarrassed by Putin. Converse to that. Does the President stroll out of a gathering? We all know who he’s. I’m positive he’s not going to tolerate disrespect from Putin, despite the fact that he desires peace. Proper?” Jones requested.
Leavitt mentioned Jones was being too form.
“And I gained’t be so form, and I’ll simply identify a few of these individuals, corresponding to John Bolton, who I believe has made a shame of himself on tv and within the newspapers, claiming that he is aware of higher than President Trump. No, he doesn’t, and neither do any of those so-called international coverage specialists who’ve by no means solved a international coverage battle of their lives,” an agitated Leavitt informed the trio of Fox Information hosts hanging on her each phrase.
She then began pandering for a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump … once more.
“Have a look at what this President has completed. In six months, he has stopped seven world conflicts all all over the world, utilizing the leverage of the USA of America to barter these conflicts to an finish,” she insisted, which isn’t precisely true.
“And I believe it’s pathetic a few of the chatter that we see from these so-called specialists who’ve zero accomplishments on their very own resumes to level to,” Leavitt whined.
“President Trump is aware of what he’s doing. He has nice instincts,” she bragged.
However in fact-checking Trump and Leavitt’s claims, right here’s what we discovered.
The Trump administration has claimed they settled the battle between Israel and Iran; the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda; Cambodia and Thailand; India and Pakistan; Serbia and Kosovo; and Egypt and Ethiopia. And simply this week, Trump officers helped dealer a still-incomplete peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the White Home.
Though Trump bragged earlier than his second time period that he would finish the battle between Russia and Ukraine inside 24 hours of taking workplace, that hasn’t occurred but. And the combating rages on between Israel and Hamas.
International coverage specialists mentioned Trump deserves some credit score for latest peace agreements in a number of conflicts. They cited conflicts between Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, and India and Pakistan, though India disputes Trump’s involvement, PolitiFact reported.
However the peace settlement between the DRC and Rwanda is short-term and shaky. There is no such thing as a deal between Egypt and Ethiopia. And there’s no proof that Trump was concerned with Kosovo and Serbia or that the 2 nations have been even about to have interaction in a battle.
Social media erupted after Leavitt bragged about Trump settling world conflicts.
“Nonetheless lobbying for the Nobel Peace Prize. He’s so jealous of President Obama,” Threads consumer James Dixon noticed.
“Man, I want I might stay within the fantasy land these f*cks have created for themselves. It sounds unbelievable,” one other Trump opponent mentioned on Threads.
This Threads consumer in all probability put it greatest.
“What conflicts has he stopped? Not one.I do know he claimed India-Pakistan, however they each made it clear that was not the case. He’s put us at odds with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, all of NATO aside from Hungary, the Ukraine. [Editor’s note: Ukraine is not a NATO member.] He’s set again our worldwide relations with China to pre-Nixon ranges. He’s aligned with authoritarian regimes who preserve decrease ranges of civil rights and civil liberties than are according to US values and our Structure. The propaganda is ridiculous.”
