Speaker Johnson says Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize for DC police takeover

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Monday said President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his takeover of the Washington, D.C., police force after preliminary data showed a lack of reported killings in the city over 11 days.

“There are MANY reasons why President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize – but 11 straight days with ZERO murders in Washington, D.C. might top the list,” Johnson said Monday in a social media post. “SAFER streets. STRONGER communities. AMERICA IS BACK!”

Johnson was responding to a post from the White House’s communications team highlighting no incidents of homicides reported from Aug. 14-24.

Those statistics come from preliminary data published by the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. There have been two killings reported since Trump took control of the city’s police department on Aug. 11 — one on Aug. 11 and one on Aug. 13.

This is not the longest stretch that the city has gone without a killing this year, though. There were no murders during the 16-day period from Feb. 25 to March 12, as CNN first reported.

The data is not final, and more crimes can be added to the database over that period in the future. There have been 101 homicides reported in the database so far this year, compared to 118 over the same period last year.

Trump has repeatedly stated his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize — an award former President Obama was bestowed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is among those who says he has nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
