Donald Trump Responds To Hillary Clinton’s Nobel Prize Praise

Case in point: former New York senator and first lady Hillary Clinton ― Trump’s rival in the 2016 presidential election ― recently said she can imagine a scenario where she nominates him for the Nobel Peace Prize.

But there’s a caveat: Clinton said Trump must make Putin agree to a ceasefire without any exchange of territory, and Russia must actually withdraw from the territory they previously seized.

Trump seemed unaware of Clinton’s possible endorsement until Baier made him aware of it on Friday.

“Did you see that Hillary Clinton yesterday said that if you got this deal done and not capitulate to Putin, that she would nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize?” Baier asked.

Trump seemed pleased, but focused more on Clinton’s mild promise of praise rather than what it would take to get it from her.

“That was very nice. I might have to start liking her again,” Trump replied.

As a result, many people on social media had thoughts about Trump’s apparent Nobel neediness.

Some people wondered if he realized Clinton’s supposed praise was actually a suggestion that he doesn’t have it in him to get a fair deal from Putin.

Others pointed how thirsty Trump is for anything that vaguely sounds like a compliment.
