THIS IS AMAZING: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Is Now the Favorite to Win the Nobel Peace Prize, and Donald Trump’s Chances Are Down to “Near-Zero”
Donald Trump has spent years making it painfully clear that he wants a Nobel Peace Prize. He talked about it constantly last year. He kept listing the wars he claims to have “solved.” And when the committee gave the prize to María Corina Machado instead, his allies scrambled to hand him a string of consolation awards.
Now the betting markets have spoken.
Carney was trading at a 14 percent chance of winning this year’s prize on Monday. That put him ahead of Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms at 13 percent and Doctors Without Borders at 10 percent.
And Trump?
Analysts tracking the odds say his chance is “near-zero” following his war in Iran.
Think about that.
The man who has been begging for this award is now trailing the leader he has spent months insulting.
Trump has slapped 50 percent tariffs on some Canadian goods. He has called Carney “governor” instead of prime minister. He has pushed to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.”
Carney has kept his cool the entire time. He’s presented Canada as a sovereign country willing to stand up to American pressure, and he told the administration to “stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough.”
Last week, he was even photographed scrolling through his phone while Trump delivered his speech at the United Nations.
Now he’s ahead of Trump in the Nobel race.
Not bad for a “governor.”
