Liberal pop star John Legend, a prominent, outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, made a surprising statement on social media.
Legend, a notorious Obama ally, said on Instagram that Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize next year for his work to bring peace to the Middle East.
However, he added some other qualifications to his support.
Not surprisingly, Legend said that Trump should remove the National Guard from American cities and also end ICE’s operations there.
If Trump can additionally go a year without any missile strikes on foreign nations, then Legend said he should be awarded the prestigious global prize.
Of course, the entire video by Legend was dripping with contempt for Trump and condescension toward him and his efforts.
His followers loved every second of it, which should tell you everything you need to know.
The singer used the video to call Trump out on what he called “authoritarian” actions.
The so-called “authoritarian” actions he mentioned included sending the National Guard into crime-ridden Democrat-run cities to restore order and directing ICE to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens.
Legend posted the video from somewhere in his house, with family pictures in the background and him in a bathrobe.
He attempted to sound intelligent by waxing on about who has earned the prize in the past and some of the reasons they have won it.
Of course, he doesn’t think Trump deserves the prize, as was evident by the description of everything Trump is doing that he’d have to stop in order to “deserve” the prize next year.
This year’s award went to Venezuelan Opposition Leader Maria Corina Machado for fighting the socialist dictatorship in that country.
She dedicated the award in a post on X “to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!”
Trump was a bit salty about not receiving the prize after his administration almost single-handedly brought about peace in the Middle East.
In a post on X, White House spokesperson Steven Cheung said:
“President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives…
“The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace.”
While it’s pretty certain that Trump will not meet Legend’s qualifiers before next year’s prize is awarded, there’s no telling how many more peace agreements he may be able to broker.
The president is still pushing to secure peace between Russia and Ukraine.
