Yes, indeed. I don't particularly like Pompeo's history as a Congressman, and I agree many military men are not a good fit for the job. But George Marshall was a General, so he goes to show that a military man can make a superb Secretary of State.

Since we have no other choice, I remain optimistic and hope Pompeo musters enough sensitivity that his pig-headedness is tempered.

We will see where this leads us but these deals are very complex and take years to put in place, if they can get a better deal with Iran that would be great. But this was so complicated getting agreement with 5 countries, reparations, prisoner exchanges and its scope was very narrow. They will find out how complicated it is to get a compromise but I hope for the best. Iran and Israel are on the verge of escalation and that would be a mistake for all.

President Trump was met Saturday with chants suggesting that he be given the Nobel Peace Prize, as he discussed possible talks with North Korea.

"That's very nice, thank you. That's very nice," Trump replied to chants of "Nobel, Nobel, Nobel."

"I just want to get the job done," he added. The chants came as Trump spoke at a campaign-style rally in Washington Township, Michigan.

Trump is expected to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in late May or sometime in June. The encounter will mark the first such meeting between a sitting U.S. president and leader North Korean leader.

Nobel are known for making the biggest mistake in world history.
For many years they refused to give Einstein a Nobel Prize.
He never got a prize for his greatest achievements - General/Special Relativity.
He was awarded 15 years later for discovering the law of photoelectric effect.

Who deserves credit for this momentous meeting and the push toward peace? Donald Trump, says South Korean foreign minister Kang Kyung-wha. “He’s been determined to come to grips with this from day one,” she recently told CNN.

And he may soon have a Nobel Peace Prize to show for it. Trump and Kim are currently the favorites to win the prize, according to one British oddsmaker, and some of Trump’s aides are telling reporters that a lasting thaw between North and South Korea should win Trump the award.

The Nobel Peace Prize would lose all the credibility and respect it had, if they give the prize to Donald Trump!

If Odummy had accomplished half of what Trump has accomplished his Nobel Prizes would be in double digits.

Maybe they were shouting "No Balls", instead of "Nobel".

No balls to fire WH staffers in person or via phone. Instead, he fires people via tweet announcements or has Kelly fire them. "No Balls, No Balls, No Balls".

What a shock.
So Obama voters were part of a “cult” too ? And Obama was a cult leader ?
