Lindsay Graham was once a big time never Trumper. Now we get things like this
(Real Clear Politics) Sen. Lindsey Graham told ‘Fox & Friends’ Friday morning that if North and South Korea make peace and North Korea gets rid of its nuclear weapons President Trump “deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.”
SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: Okay, so here’s the deal. It wouldn’t have happened without Trump. It may not happen, but it is the biggest change since the end of the hostilities. The fact that the North Korean and South Korean presidents met, and they vowed to end the war. What happened? Donald Trump convinced North Korea and China he was serious about bringing about change. We’re not there yet but if this happens President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
All of the criticism of President Trump on fire and fury and maximum pressure – I’m glad he didn’t listen to all of those who failed before him. He has convinced North Korea that you’ve got two options: you can become a normal country or we will take you down if you keep trying to build missiles to hit the American homeland and I think they convinced North Korea and China that Trump is serious. Every president before him tried this. What is different about Trump?
He goes on to say that we aren’t quite there yet, but, if we do get there, this is big.

(The Hill) Rep. Luke Messer (R-Ind.) is pressing colleagues to support President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Messer says it would recognize Trump for his role in the new peace talks between North and South Korea.
“We are seeing unprecedented progress toward peace, and it’s a direct result of President Trump’s strong leadership,†said Messer, who is battling fellow GOP Rep. Todd Rokita (Ind.) and former Rep. Mike Braun in a primary to take on Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly.
“Following this historic announcement, President Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Our peace through strength strategy is delivering never before seen results,†Messer added in a statement.
Hey, Obama got a Nobel for ….. being elected and talking a lot. Of course, we’re starting to see things like
Kim is only talking because his testing center collapsed.
Trump has done more to enrich the wealthy, despoil the environment, explode the deficit, welcome Russian attacks, damage democracy and make life harder and more unpleasant for ordinary folk than any recent POTUS.

Liberals are attempting to find ways to make sure Trump gets no credit for anything that happens in regards to the Koreas.
