The Bottom Line

[Editorial]

I believe what is motivating Trump right now is a golden medallion.

In the back of his mind, he is focused on the singular goal of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He may think that if he ends the war he helped create, he’ll finally get to grab the brass ring on the carousel.

He doesn’t care who or what gets in his way, after all, Obama got one. Trump believes this is his legacy. He has claimed that he "ended eight wars" and has been nominated for the prize multiple times; however, official nominations are kept secret for fifty years. For Trump, the prize isn’t just a byproduct of his policy... it is the primary benchmark of his success.

At a deep level, this is what I believe is truly driving him: his love of gold. But it begs the question: will he bring down the United States economy just for that brass ring?
