President Donald Trump is usually not at a loss for words regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That is until one.
Clinton shocked many with her statement about nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he could broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, per The Hill.
“If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, to make it clear there must be a ceasefire,” Clinton said on the “Raging Moderates” podcast.
“If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,” she said.
Trump and Putin met Friday in Alaska to talk about peace between Russia and Ukraine.
When Trump was asked about Clinton’s gesture while talking with Fox News anchor Bret Baier aboard Air Force One, the president expressed gratitude.
“That’s very nice,” Trump said. “I might have to start liking her again.”
He also spoke about Clinton after Friday’s meeting in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, per Mediaite.
“Do you ever think Hillary Clinton – the author [sic] of the bought-and-paid-for Russian disinformation dossier, the author of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax – going into today, would be saying she would nominate you for a Nobel Peace Prize? I don’t think you ever expected that happening,” Hannity said.
“Well, you know, I don’t wanna be involved in that, in the sense, not because of her,” Trump said. “It’s very nice if she said that. It’s very nice. I really appreciate too, actually. But–“
That is when Hannity stepped in, saying, “She tried to ruin your life and in many ways she ruined three years of your life.”
“Well, she made me stronger and tougher. And you know, we had–,“ Trump replied.
“You are way more forgiving than me,” Hannity said.
“Well, it was a sad chapter and our country’s history. I will say that,” Trump added before steering the conversation back to his meeting with Putin.
