Question 4- How possible is it to get Nobel to Donald Trump?
answer- Dr. Rajan Kumar, a foreign affairs expert and Professor of JNU, says, ‘Trump is not entitled to the Nobel Prize and he will not get the Nobel Prize. Trump needs the Nobel Peace Prize, but he did not do any big job like establishing peace. The Iran-Israel War also started in America. The US was reported that Israel is about to attack Iran. Apart from this, Trump also promised in election rallies that he would stop the Gaza war, which is not yet completed. Rather, he got ready to change the map of Gaza.
Rajan Kumar said, ‘Trump’s claim of ceasefire in 7 countries is not completely correct. India has not yet admitted that Trump stopped the war. He is only praising Trump. Nobel of peace is a big prize in itself, for which work has to be done.
Somewhere Trump also knows that he is not going to get Nobel. That is why they have said many times that no matter how many war I should stop, I will not get Nobel. This award is received only by Liberal.

It is so difficult to receive the Nobel Prize for Peace that even Mahatma Gandhi could not get it. He was scheduled to get Nobel in 1948, but was murdered.
