The wild thing is, the headline is objectively correct. (But really, no US president ever deserves a NPP.)
Just look at the other NPP presidential recipients:
Barack Obama had a kill list, a gulag at Gitmo, and was dropping bombs on seven different countries during his presidency. Jimmy Carter's hands were blood-soaked, especially in Southeast Asia. Woodrow Wilson got us roped into WWI, where millions died over a literal few meters of terrain. Teddy Roosevelt got us roped into the Spanish-American War and whined that the US didn't involve itself in WWI early enough.
Whether you like him or not, Donald got us out of Syria and Afghanistan, and while definitely doing so for the wrong reasons, he's done more to try and resolve the genocide in Palestine than anyone since Clinton.
"resolve the genocide in Palestine". Are you talking about his plan to mass deport Palestinians and build resorts on their land? Kind of like answering the "Jewish Question" was for the Nazis.
That's Netanyahu's plan though. Trump doesn't make plans. He puts his signature underneath lobbyists plans.
Trump is no less culpable because he lacks the creativity to come up with a hideous extermination policy on his own.
