Trump was nominated because he brought more middle east leaders to the table for peace than any president in recent memory. Stalin and Hitler murdered gajillions. So, what's your point? If it's that Trump did things not considered peaceful, despite the peace inducing actions, then why not call out Obama for the drone bombing of Anwar Al-Awlaki, a US citizen? And Obama GOT a peace prize.

To be clear - my point is not to endorse the Trump peace prize nomination, or even to make this a Trump vs Obama debate. My only gripe here is this constant inclusion of Trump as a villain, of Hitler caliber. It's not a generally accepted premise, so let's stop using it as one.
