Truly, I couldn't care less if he were to win the award or not. I think it's useless based on past winners quite frankly. But if he were to win, that would only mean that we all win as a country because he must have been successful. And the bonus would be nice watching some on the left have another meltdown as a result. :)

Brace Yourselves: Democrats Could Totally Self-Destruct If Trump Wins A Nobel Peace Prize
The Korean War is coming to an end. It’s the conclusion of the last major chapter of the Cold War. Both sides said there’s an agreement on a peace treaty and the denuclearization of the peninsula. It’s something that has eluded the Bush and Obama administrations. Funny—Trump mocks North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, called him “rocket man,” and sets off a panic among Democratic circles that his tweets could set off nuclear world war III. Why? Well, because North Korea threatened to do so, which they’ve done for years. It shouldn’t be taken seriously—and it wasn’t; the markets really didn’t have seismic shifts over this. Everyone thought Trump was mishandling this crisis, and in the end, both sides have agreed to officially end the war.
So, once again the media and the Democrats were wrong. And now, President Trump is being considered for a Nobel Peace Prize. Could you imagine how the Left would react if he were to win it? President Obama won it and he escalated a war in Afghanistan, failed to confront ISIS, and dithered on Syria. Obama did nothing when the Russians annexed Crimea. Did nothing when chemical weapons were used in Syria as well. Who does South Korea give immense credit for bringing North Korea to the bargaining table? Donald J. Trump. Besides the Twitter exchanges, the Trump White House slapped North Korea with a series of sanctions over missile tests. And this isn’t just South Korea, or conservative media, saying Trump deserves credit, CNN admits it as well: (https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/27/politics/donald-trump-korea/index.html?sr=fbCNNp042718donald-trump-korea0537PMVODtop&CNNPolitics=fb)
Any way you cut it, President Donald Trump is entitled to significant credit for Friday's historic opening between the two Koreas.
Whether he deserves as much as he's claiming or whether he's wise to bullishly declare a new era of denuclearized peace on the peninsula seems much more doubtful.
Still, the summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in keeps alive the possibility of a legacy win for Trump that would rank as one of the top presidential achievements since World War II.
If he were to preside over the verifiable destruction of the North's nuclear and missile programs, formally end the 1950-53 Korean War and usher in the destruction of the world's last Cold War-era frontier, Trump would claim a feat that has eluded all of his most recent predecessors.
[…]
The administration succeeded in enacting the most stringent sanctions regime yet imposed on North Korea -- and crucially got more buy in from China for more pressure on its nominal ally North Korea than ever before.
If those sanctions are indeed behind North Korea's decision to come to the table, Trump's effusive praise of China's President Xi Jinping during a state visit last year, for which he was widely criticized, could be validated.
[…]
Given the stakes, and the chance of averting what could be a murderous war on the Korean peninsula, it's possible that even in Washington's divisive political climate, everyone might be rooting for Trump to succeed.
