3. And that is the way it should be.

The award itself should never be the main aim of any peacemaker.

But Trump won't be happy, he can name a number of peace achievements!
- brought peace and harmony across the land of the US. So much peace, the troops have nothing to do but pick up litter.

- stopped the war between Gondwanaland and Eurasia, a war that has been going on for millennia and was literally tearing the world apart.

- stopped the war between North Eastphalia and South Eastphalia.

- currently working on stopping the wars between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel at war with everybody not Israeli.

So credit to Trump, give him that peace prize, ok?
(If only just to shut him up about it.)

Perhaps the committee could make up a special Junior award, engraved 'Nice try, but could do better!' and offer that for sale to Trump as a minimal cost, say US $10B?
