Fox News halted for breaking Donald Trump news: 'I should be given Nobel Prize'

A breaking news announcement interrupted Fox News as President Donald Trump said that he should "win a Nobel Prize". Four American leaders before him have already received the prestigious accolade, including Barack Obama, but the 79-year-old politician believes that he should be next in line.

With a breaking news banner across the bottom of the screen, a news report told of how former congressman Matt Gaetz had an "interesting idea". He reportedly suggested that if Trump were to broker a deal where nuclear inspectors would go into both Israel and Iran then the President should be eligible for a Nobel Peace Prize, and it should "even be renamed as the Trump Peace Prize." When asked what he thinks of that, the American politician replied saying that he "should have gotten it four or five times" already before listing off some things that he classed as former successes.

He modestly said: "They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda and if you look, the Congo, or you could say Serbia, Kosovo, you could say a lot of them. The big one is India and Pakistan. I should have gotten it four or five times." But then he added: "They won't give me a Nobel Peace Prize, because they only give it to liberals."

Theodore Roosevelt became the first President to win a Nobel Peace Prize in 1906. He won it for mediating between Russia and Japan which ended the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th US president, won it for his efforts in ending the First World War and helping to create the League of Nations back in 1919.

Then there was quite a gap before another President was presented with the award, with the next President receiving the award in 2002.

This time it was Jimmy Carter, who served as US president from 1977 to 1981, for his "decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development".

And in 2009, Barack Obama won the prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
