Trump Lobbies for Nobel Peace Prize in UN Speech — Then Insists He Doesn’t Care About it

President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday and boasted about the wars he claims he ended, repeating a favorite line of his in recent months. Trump went on to claim he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, another regular refrain from the president, but added that the lives saved are prize enough for him.

After insulting the UN for not ending various conflicts around the globe, Trump asked, “What is the purpose of the United Nations?”

“The U.N. has such tremendous potential. I’ve always said it. It has such tremendous, tremendous potential, but it’s not even coming close to living up to that potential for the most part, at least for now. All they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up. It’s empty words, and empty words don’t solve war,” Trump continued, adding:

The only thing that solves war and wars is action. Now, after ending all of these wars and also earlier negotiating the Abraham Accords, which is a very big thing for which our country received no credit, never receives credit, everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements. But for me, the real prize will be the sons and daughters who live to grow up with their mothers and fathers, because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless and inglorious wars.

What I care about is not winning prizes; it’s saving lives. We saved millions and millions of lives with the seven wars. And we have others that we’re working on, and you know that.

Trump then went on a tangent about the construction of the U.N headquarters in New York City, “Many years ago, a very successful real estate developer in New York, known as Donald Trump, I bid on the renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations complex. I remember it so well.”
