{UAH} Trump claims credit for Abiy Ahmed's Nobel Peace Prize

Folks;

There is no end to Trump's thirst for glory!

Here, he claims that he had a hand in the Nobel Peace Peace prize going to Ethiopian PM. He told a rally last night that since he offered to broker negotiations over a dam, between Ethiopia and Egypt, he deserved to be credited with enabling Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed win the Peace Prize.

Trouble is, the award was in recognition of Ahmed's peace deals with Eritrea, not some stalled talks over a dam. But to his mostly uninformed audience, Trump was cheated of this glory.

President Donald Trump falsely claimed on Thursday that he deserved credit for the Nobel Peace Prize recently awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
Ahmed was awarded the prestigious prize for negotiating a peace deal between Ethiopia and neighboring Eritrea following 20 years of bloody conflict. Trump had nothing to do with the peace negotiations.
"I made a deal. I saved a country. And I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. I said, 'What? did I have something do with it?' Yeah," Trump said.

At a rally in Ohio on Thursday night, President Donald Trump claimed that he deserved credit for the Nobel Peace Prize recently awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

"I made a deal. I saved a country. And I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. I said, 'What? Did I have something do with it?' Yeah," Trump said. "But you know, that's the way it is. As long as we know, that's all that matters."

Trump last year offered to help negotiate an agreement between the Ethiopian prime minister and Egypt's prime minister over a dam on the Nile. But Ahmed was awarded the prestigious prize for negotiating a peace deal between Ethiopia and neighboring Eritrea following 20 years of bloody conflict. Trump had nothing to do with these peace negotiations.
