Charles H. Bradley III: Trump answered call to save USA, deserves Peace Prize

To The Daily Sun,

Moses parted the Red Sea and led the enslaved Israelites out of the Pharaonic tyranny of Egypt. The Son of God became man and preached, “Love thy neighbors as thyself," and “Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall inherit the Earth.” Then the Roman Senate murdered Julius Caesar to prevent a dictatorship. Prefiguring Judas’ betrayal of Jesus Christ, Caesar’s words, as he passed into eternity, were “Et Tu, Brutus.” Ironically, Caesar’s murder resulted in centuries of despotic authoritarian rule by tyrannical Roman emperors.

In the Middle Ages, Erasmus from Rotterdam preached tolerance, understanding and peace, a reformulation of “Love Thy Neighbor As Yourself.” Unfortunately, the Catholic Church strayed far from these teachings, resulting in splintering the Catholic Church led by Martin Luther. Then King Henry VIII chose multiple wives in search of a male heir and ordered his best friend, St. Thomas More, beheaded for his insolent failure to support Henry’s philandering.

In the 20th century, Woodrow Wilson’s World War I peace treaty and Neville Chamberlain’s “Peace in Our Time” brought World War II, collapse of the British Empire and the American Century, riddled with the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, the Afghan War and the Biden-Zelenskyy Ukraine War. In the 21st century, Mao Zedong, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, mass murderers of Uighurs and Christians and enslavers of the Chinese and Russian people, emerged.

And so, history raises the question: Will we ever learn?

In 2024, the American electorate announced: “Enough is enough.” They returned Donald Trump to the presidency. He works tirelessly to save the USA for our children and grandchildren. President Trump answered the call of history and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
