It's only funny because Trump haters on the Nobel Committee might make that unlikely . . . 

Today's CNN This Morning panel burst into laughter when MRC alum and Daily Signal president Rob Bluey said that, based on his accomplishments in the Middle East, there's "talk again about giving Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize."

Shades of Bill Maher's audience bursting into laughter in 2015 when Ann Coulter said Trump was the Republican most likely to win the 2016 election. [The linked video, to quote the late, great, Noel Sheppard, is particularly "delicious" because Coulter's statement is followed by a clip of Obama saying that while Trump has called him the worst president in history, at least he will go down in history as a president. Braggart Barack actually does a mic (phone) drop.]

Granted, Trump was able to accomplish what he has thanks to Israel having virtually eliminated Hezbollah, greatly weakened Hamas, and destroyed Iran's air defenses.

So, what say a joint Nobel for Trump and Bibi Netanyahu? That would make liberal heads explode louder than a bunker buster!

Bluey joined in the mirth, presumably not because he doesn't believe Trump deserves the honor, but in the knowledge of the reaction his suggestion was likely to receive from the panel composed of NPR alum Audie Cornish, Jackie Kucinich of the Boston Globe, and Dem strategist Maria Cardona.

Speaking of Cardona, she was still trying to push the negative Democrat/liberal media narrative, saying of the US strikes on Iran, "we know that the mission wasn't accomplished." You and Natasha Bertrand have your fingers crossed. 

The situation in Iran hasn't yet entirely played out. But based on what has been achieved so far, can anyone doubt that Trump could be the person most deserving of the Nobel? Certainly more deserving than Barack Obama was for merely getting elected. Both men disappointed the pacifists.

For decades, Iran has been the world's worst sponsor of terrorism. The homicidal fanaticism of its regime has engendered an unprecedented unity of fear and loathing ranging from Western democracies to Arab monarchies, and beyond. The elimination or at least the significant reduction of Iran's nuclear threat represents a gigantic contribution to world peace, in large part thanks to Trump's bold leadership.

Here's the transcript.

AUDIE CORNISH: Here was the focus. Hegseth at one point was lashing out at reporters, as you said, just about the very leaking of what is, and no one has said differently, a preliminary intelligence assessment. It was an early assessment. But the administration has been very upset at the amplification of that assessment. I think we have that. 

PETE HEGSETH: When someone leaks something, they do it with an agenda. And when you leak a portion of an intelligence assessment, but just a little portion, just the little portion that makes it seem like maybe the strike wasn't effective, then you start a news cycle. 

CORNISH: Maria, it does feel like Democrats are getting to enjoy this question, and talking about this question, and raising doubt. 

MARIA CARDONA: Well, I think what Democrats are doing is what they should be doing, which is, like you said, raising questions. Questions about what exactly, not just what does the intelligence say, but what does the administration actually believe happened, to your point, to everyone's point. That's what really matters. 

And I think what the problem with the obsession with the word obliterate or obliteration, right? You can kind of equate it to when Bush said mission accomplished, because it all came back to, well, no, it wasn't. And in fact, we know that the mission wasn't accomplished. If the mission was to absolutely ascertain and say definitively that Iran is not going to obtain a nuclear weapon, that didn't happen. 

And so it takes away, frankly, from what the administration's message should be, which is, we did a lot to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and now let's figure out what more needs to be done. But that's not happening. Now we're focused on the word, and we're obsessed with, okay, well, what now? 
ROB BLUEY: Secondarily, it did bring an end to the 12-day war with Israel, which is a positive --

CORNISH: I like that you're calling it the 12-day war. Like, you're on it. Is that the official --

BLUEY: Yeah, and I mean, look, Donald Trump went to NATO. He obviously had a successful week there. There's, you know, a lot to be celebrated over the course of the last week in terms of hopefully a diplomatic solution. And, you know, talk again about giving Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, Audie. [panel bursts into laughter.]

CORNISH: You heard it here.
