Popular singer John Legend has reacted to Donald Trump’s failed attempt to win a Nobel Peace Prize. He recently revealed that Trump should step up his peacemaking efforts across the US to earn such recognition.
In an Instagram post, John said that while the US President has been doing his best to make life peaceful for everyone in Gaza, he must make sure his solution is lasting.
According to him, the people of Gaza cannot keep watching the destruction of their lives and communities on a daily basis, so the latest peace deal initiated by Trump has to deliver positive and permanent results.
Urging Trump to also look inward amid his fight against war, the musician stated that guaranteeing peace in the Middle East will still not be enough to earn him a Nobel prize.
“We all want to see peace in Gaza, in the West Bank. And President Trump has been instrumental in bringing about this new peace deal.
Let’s all pray that this deal is actually lasting, that it’s long-term. The people of Gaza have had their lives and their communities destroyed for the past two years.
If this peace is really lasting, we just might see Donald Trump get that peace prize that he really, really wants.
If Trump is able to actually earn the peace prize, it probably won’t be enough that he’s helped bring peace to the Middle East […] Let’s look at what else he would have to do,” he wrote.

The “All Of Me” crooner further blasted Trump for sending Black Hawk helicopters to terrorise the people of Chicago while they sleep, stressing that he cannot claim to be a man of peace while declaring war on Americans.
John Legend concluded by saying that the president must repent from his authoritarian and dictatorial ways to be taken seriously.
“Stop sending the military into our cities simply because they’re run by Democrats.
Stop sending masked, unaccountable ICE agents to torment immigrant communities. Stop ordering the prosecution of his political opponents on flimsy charges […] stop bombing boats in the Caribbean, stop executing people without proving that they’ve done anything wrong.
He’d have to stop all this authoritarian, dictator shit, all the fascist shit, all the inhumane shit he’s been trying to do,” he added.
