The odds of winning the lottery or being struck by lightning twice in the same day are better than those of Trump EVER winning the Nobel Peace Prize, no matter how much he may deserve it. Keep in mind, they awarded it to Obama during his first year in office, without him doing much of anything to promote peace in the first place. Ditto for Al Gore, who won it over Irena Sendler (who doubtlessly deserved it more) for simply producing a politically charged documentary on climate change they liked. Trump is even more hated in Europe than Gore and Obama were loved, and it's doubtful that the president even had much to do with what's going on in the Koreas right now.
I suspect that this had more to do with the Olympics being in Korea than anything else, especially sunce the two Koreas competed on a single team. That was one of the reasons that de Cubertin established the modern Olympics in the first place: he desired for them to be a means of promoting peace and international cooperation.
