00:00GOP lawmaker wants to create Trump Peace and Prosperity Award.

00:05A New York Republican moves to create the Trump Peace and Prosperity Award, arguing

00:09the Nobel Committee has become political and ignored Trump's achievements.

00:13Representative Claudia Tenney announced her intentions in an opinion column Saturday,

00:18reported Newsmax.

00:19She framed Trump's record as peace through strength.

00:22The award would honor leaders who achieve success through strength, freedom, human rights,

00:27and economic progress.

00:29She said the Nobel Peace Prize is no longer the gold standard for honoring peace efforts.

00:35The Nobel Peace Prize once stood for strength, integrity, and moral clarity, Tenney wrote.

00:40Today it too often rewards symbolism and politics instead of real achievement.

00:45Tenney, a staunch Trump ally, said she is the only member of Congress who officially nominated

00:50Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize twice.

00:53She argued his peace achievements surpass recent laureates and wrote, he delivered results that

00:58no one thought possible.

01:00She cited the Abraham Accords between Israel and Arab nations, the defeat of ISIS, and

01:05Trump's deterrence of Iran, and containment of North Korea.

01:09Trump proved that peace does not come from appeasement, but from power, clarity, and the courage

01:16to confront evil.

01:17Tenney wrote about Trump's work in the recent peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

01:22She argued that by receiving the award in 2009, former President Barack Obama did more harm

01:28than good.

01:29Obama weakened America, divided our allies, and emboldened our enemies.

01:34The Nobel Committee rewarded him anyway, Tenney wrote.

01:37While Obama gave speeches, Trump delivered peace.

01:41Tenney stated the Nobel Committee's recent decision to honor Venezuelan opposition leader Maria

01:46Carina Machado shows it rewards rhetoric over results and politics over principle.

01:52If the committee continues to deny reality, we will build something better, she wrote.

01:58It will restore credibility to the cause of peace, and remind the world that lasting stability

02:02comes not from weakness, but from strength.

02:06Tenney agreed with Tenney.
