Trumpworld Goes to War Over Nobel Peace Prize Loss
Since his second term began, Donald Trump has openly campaigned to become only the fifth U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize, touting his involvement in ongoing conflicts like the war in Ukraine and Gaza and lamenting that he deserved the award more than Barack Obama, who received it in 2009.
But despite Trump’s repeated public overtures, the Nobel Committee awarded this year’s prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, citing her “tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
While Trump himself did not immediately comment on the news, many of the president’s allies have voiced strong feelings about Trump losing out.
The White House quickly insisted that politics played a role in the committee’s final decision on the Nobel Peace Prize. “President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will. The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace,” White House spokesman Steven Cheung wrote in a statement.
