In Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath the character of Tom Joad, when asked to talk about his prison experiences, says "it just makes my guts feel kinda droopy". Tom was to be admired, so the analogy is not direct but I'll bet anything that many on the left now are starting to feel their guts droop as the realization that their worst nightmare has been empowered and is thriving dawns on them with nauseating and enervating impact. It was bad enough that their darling lost to one beneath contempt; though at first it seemed to them to be only a momentary setback - a last convulsive twitch by the real America before it was taken in hand and put in its deservedly subordinate place.
"Now, oh now!" This thing for which they cannot muster a minimum of human decency ( witness the White House Correspondents' Dinner) has proven to be a formidable administrator and negotiator and also one insolently dismissive of their characteristically emotional references to their unimpeachable justice in all matters. Since they have been blithe to use all manner of vulgarity in their commentary on him and his Presidency I shall be as brash as to follow their lead: they are PUKES; the President has been dealing with their sort all his life and surprise, surprise - he's good at it. That he is able to mix it up with them on their "realpolitik" level is an unbearable affront to them.
They were so very sure he would fluff after his all unlooked for ascent. " He's a dilettante who got lucky and the job will do him in quickly" they sniffed. I don't think you come from virtually the furthest reaches of improbability, endure an endless campaign replete with the calumny and excoriation always directed at those who stand up to political correctness , without showing great strength of character. His haughty opponent failed twice, despite the enormous advantages afforded her by her unassailably just status simply as a leftist woman. Could it be that her, well, shall we say, questionable character had something to do with this?
President Trump has been proposed as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. When one considers that a dissembler like Barack Obama got it for (as a commentator comically noted) "sneezing", one might want to consider if its an honor worth having. Oh . . . let's assume it is. Unprecedented and astounding steps toward a final peace in Korea have taken place due to his leadership. Should they bear fruit he may get the prize in a walk and, incidentally, millions of Koreans could look forward to long and perhaps prosperous lives . Oh heavens, what shame would be theirs who sneer at him now.
But here is the kicker, I think. The real America rose in 2016 because it was fed up with American radicals and their by then open intention to force unending unwanted "fundamental transformation". It got a miracle in the unanticipated success of the most faithful and competent conservative President since President Reagan. Instead of Hillary sealing the far left deal, the America of those who believe in its essential merit and worthiness grows stronger apace. The America haters may well have wasted their one best chance at assured dominance and eventual absolutism. And that growing realization, borne out by a burgeoning economy, forthright productive confrontation of national and international problems far too long trifled with, in answer to the long deferred aspirations of a loyal majority, must be one of appalling discomfiture to them.

When the left experiences "appalling discomfiture," we know we must be doing something right! The Peace Prize, though, I suspect is a pipe dream. The leaders of North and South Korea may get it, but Trump? Trump's approval rating in the ranks of self-righteous, "progressive" European politicos has to be about...1% As you say, though, it's a dubious honor to be honored by such people. I wouldn't fret much over it.
Dr. Waddy: I can believe that the President truly doesn't care much about it. The left presumes he has a vulnerably inflated ego like Slick Willy and he has flim flammed them on that. He had no trouble giving the Bronx cheer to the mostly hostile White House press corps and their yearly tribunal dinner. And its completely credible that fashionable Euro Marxist apologists might well see a moral equivalence between a tyrant like Kim and democratically empowered leaders like the South Korean President, not to mention our ever to be disdained President. How easily they forget America saved them from the unspeakably tragic replacement of Nazi depravity with Soviet bestiality. How ungrateful they are.
