President Trump’s Rose Garden speech on February 15, 2019, made waves in more ways than one. He brazenly declared a state of National Emergency for the southern border crisis. In the same breath, he discussed his opportunities he has had to broker peace in the Korean Peninsula and Syria. How apropos, as Trump took an enormous stride to bring greater peace and safety to America by reducing illegal alien crime and other severe problems, he eluded to his nomination for the Nobel Peace prize, submitted by Prime Minister Abe of Japan.

Peace Summits

It was a historic moment back in September of 2018 where President Donald J. Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un met in Singapore to discuss future peace plans. It would go ahead and define what North Korea would look like in terms of their presence in Asia, the world and more specifically with South Korea. The two leaders met with what seemed to be a rather tense moment in history as people held their breath. It’s no real secret that President Trump can be volatile on Twitter, and quite frankly, Kim Jong Un can be quite volatile, period. For this reason, tensions were high among everyone but by the end of the day, there seemed to be a settled agreement between the two leaders that no other American president has been able to achieve since the Korean War stalemate.



For what seemed like hours, the end result was denuclearization of North Korea and further talks about peace and the hopeful reunification of the peninsula and the hopes of a one-Korea to happen in this generation.



South Korea and Japan Gave Trump the Nod for Nobel Peace Prize

On April 30, 2018, South Korean President Moon Jae-in recognized President Trump’s efforts for peace. He voiced his approval for President Trump to gain the Nobel Peace Prize for his talks and progress with the North Korean dictatorship. Trump facilitated the denuclearization of North Korea and the ending of sanctions from the Communist country to be able to stand on the world stage once again, without the threat of nuclear weapons. President Moon said, “President Trump can take the Nobel prize….All we need to take is peace.” South Korea is not the only one voicing their nomination for President Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (Ah-bae) also praised President Trump and voiced his vote for Trump to get the Nobel Peace Prize.

We can only hope for a peaceful reunification of both North and South Korea to simply become, Korea.

Japan has shown a MAGA-spirit on a national level. When they were bombed by terrorists, Japan went on lock down and halted anyone from entering their country. They also placed a strict enforcement of any group that adheres to ‘cultish’ behavior since it was a cult that bombed the subway system back in the 90s. Suffice to say, Japan holds very nationalistic ideas and expresses a deep seated pride in terms of all things Japanese. For Abe to voice support for Trump to get the Nobel Peace prize while the world hems and haws about the American president, Prime Minister Abe made it clear, Trump should receive it.



Trump’s Rose Garden Presser

On the Rose Garden two days ago, President Trump said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had given him “the most beautiful copy” of a five-page letter in which Abe nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize for opening talks and easing tensions with North Korea. President Trump also said he saved three million people living in Syria’s rebel-held Idlib region from being killed after he warned Russia, Iran and the Syrian government against a planned offensive. A Nobel Peace prize nomination would make President Trump one of “304 candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2019 out of which 219 are individuals and 85 are organizations.”

We Would Do Well to Remember

It would do the general public some good to remember that no other president was able to achieve this level of world peace on a peninsula that always had tensions and that one wrong word or wrong move could have set off devastating effects. Granted, it does not help that South Korea blasts K-pop across the 38th parallel when most of the North Korean soldiers have been trained to think it’s anti-KJU propaganda. In a sense, it is rather hilarious to see that. But no matter what one feels about President Trump, he was the only president to broker peace in Korea. Especially Korean Americans, as well as Koreans abroad, should hold a great sense of gratitude for President Trump. It is not just ‘something huge’ that one should pass off and ignore. It is historic and no other president did that. Obama could not pull it off. Both George W. and George H. W. Bush did not broker anything with Kim Jong Il. Clinton did not touch the subject. Reagan was too preoccupied with Gorbachev to consider anything Korea-related. It was President Trump and only President Trump who could pull it off. Despite the unprofessional and hype of the Mainstream Media, World War III did not occur and North Korea is entering the dialogue once again. This is why it is so significant of Prime Minister Abe to indeed recognize Trump’s efforts and nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. And with the month of May quickly approaching, we can only hope for a peaceful reunification of both North and South Korea to simply become, Korea.
