US President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that he would have had solved eight wars if his Gaza peace plan works out. He reiterated his claim that he deserved the Nobel Prize and said it would be a “big insult” if the award was denied.

In his remarks to the ‘Department of War’, Trump mentioned the India-Pakistan conflict and again claimed to have resolved “7 wars”, including that. “I have settled so many wars since we have been here. Almost nine months and I have settled seven. Yesterday, we might have settle the biggest of them all. Although, Pakistan-India was very big… both nuclear powers… I settled that.”

Nobel will be given to a guy who didn’t do a damn thing: Trump

He claimed that his 20-point Gaza peace plan is aimed at solving a 3,000-year-old crisis in the Middle East. He said Hamas must agree to his plan otherwise it would be “very tough on them”. “It is what it is. All the Arab nations, Muslim nations and Israel have agreed [to the peace plan]. It’s an amazing thing. It just came together,” Trump said.

He said, “If this works out, we’ll have [solved] eight [wars] in eight months. That’s pretty good. Nobody’s ever done that. Will you get the Nobel Prize? Absolutely not. They’ll give it to some guy who didn’t do a damn thing. They’ll give it to a guy that wrote a book about the ‘Mind of Donald Trump’… It will be a big insult to our country… I don’t want it. I want the country to get it.”
