Obama Got a Nobel Peace Prize for Doing Nothing. Trump Ended Wars, No Prize. How's That Work?

United States President Donald J. Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday when he well could have.
Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 when he damn well should not have.
There are reasons for both events, which I'll explain. But first, why does anyone care about these self-congratulatory things anyway? I’m not sure they really do as anything more than news popcorn.
Media certainly cares. Their main job these days is to tell us what to talk about. Not because it necessarily matters, but because their business is to assemble crowds online and TV. And advertisers pay a lot of money to access those crowds.
Media failed to tell us that the last president had literally lost his mind. That was important. But Democrats did not want it talked about. So, media colluded to hide it. Only honest news outlets like RedState chronicled the unfolding scandal that endangered the nation.
News media, however, are really good at covering anything that gets announced. That’s easy work: Nobel Prizes. Oscars. Golden Globes. Sports scores. Grammys. Monthly job reports. They can set up for that. Cover it and then run around and ask select people what they think. Maybe stir up another crowd if it’s controversial.
And this Nobel Peace Prize certainly was.
Not because of who got it. Maria Corina Machado did. She’s an opposition leader to the dictatorship of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, the guy whose drug runners keep getting vaporized at sea in Trump’s new armed war against drug cartels.
Hard to argue against that pick since Machado is forced to hide from her own government.
She even graciously dedicated her prize to President Trump for his strong support of Venezuela’s freedom movement — a pretty special international honor by itself. But media won't cover that either.
Trump later said he had a “very nice” phone conversation with the winner.
This president doesn’t need the million-dollar prize money. But it’s also hard to argue that Trump does not deserve such prestigious Nobel recognition.
