The White House slammed the Nobel Committee after US President Donald Trump was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded to Venezuelan activist María Corina Machado. TThe committee recognised Machado's dedication to promoting democratic rights in Venezuela. Trump had previously expressed a strong desire for the award, crediting his efforts to end global conflicts.

 

Trump congratulated Machado following her win, acknowledging her as deserving of the award. Despite Trump's ambitions, White House communications director Steven Cheung accused the Nobel Committee of favouring politics over peace. Cheung stressed Trump's ongoing commitment to peace efforts, citing his role in brokering a ceasefire in Gaza as a significant achievement.

 

Throughout his tenure, Trump has highlighted his part in resolving conflicts, proposing a multi-stage deal for peace in the Middle East. However, challenges remain, with conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war persisting. Trump’s "America-first" policy has reshaped international dynamics, impacting global relations and domestic policies, including controversial immigration measures.

 

Leaders, such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin, have lent their voices in support of Trump’s nomination. Machado herself dedicated her prize to Trump for backing Venezuela’s pro-democracy movement. Despite these endorsements, the deadline for Nobel nominations passed shortly after Trump assumed office, eliminating his immediate eligibility.

 

The Nobel Peace Prize has historically been awarded to leaders championing peace and democracy; four US presidents have been honoured, including Barack Obama. Trump's administration has seen foreign policy tensions and domestic controversies, with actions like mass deportations sparking widespread protests.

 

 

 

Key Takeaways:

 

• Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Venezuela's María Corina Machado.
• Trump continues advocating for peace amid global praise and criticism.
• Nomination timing and ongoing conflicts impact Trump's Nobel prospects.

This is like going to the race track :  The warning siren has sounded, hold all bets pending a protest.

The problem here is that nobody ever has heard of the lady before and not sure if she has significantly contributed to stop any major war..

Well they had had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find her in order for them to give it to somebody.

Why would anyone be surprised by this, the Nobel Committee has lost its credibility long ago.

Expect the next 12 months taken up with campaigning for the next round.

Amazing how Trump's puppet master claims that Trump deserves the prize because he has solved so many wars, yet he himself is involved in a major war where he has given Trump, and the whole world, the middle finger for 2 years already.

Yes. Everyone who doesn't worship the flatulence popping from Trump's bloated blubberbutt fatuga lost their credibility.

 

How can anyone not see he's the Second Coming. I mean, look what he did in 1994 in Rwanda, stopping that genocide that killed "7 million" with "machetes....machetes everywhere"? Or halting the horrific war between Aberbaijiban (sic) and Albania? Or Cambodia and Armenia? I heard Trump even just went and sat on Mt St Helens and his butt stopped the lava flow. Heck, just last week Trump told us he was the first person ever to know Osama bin Laden was a bad guy.

 

RIGGED ! UNFAIR ! Anyway, the Nobel's rating are way down. No talent.

The initial fallout from the petulant child is his new 100% tariffs on Chinese imports. Not sure if there are any new ketchup stains on the Oval Office walls, but I suspect there are. I also suspect Trump acquired the first pet dog of his life, just so he could kick it.

 

I think in the next few days, when Trump and his Carnival People administration can focus more clearly, we'll likely see a banning of any performance of Peer Gynt, ICE rounding up all copies---vinyl, CDs, Ipods and Spotify---of the Beatles "Rubber Soul" album (contains "Norwegian Wood"), libraries robbed of "Kon Tiki", no more GIFs of Edvard Munch's "The Scream", an outright ban on the songs "Take on Me" by A-ha and "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, and a revoking of the visa of Karsten Warholm, world record holder in the 400 meter hurdles.

 

And please folks, keep you and your loved ones off of Viking Cruise Line ships.

The Nobel Peace Prize is intended for a person who, in the opinion of the judges, has made a particular notable attempt to further the cause of peace in their particular area. It is not a political award to be lobbied for by the supporters of a particular political figure, political party, country or regime! Often it may be awarded to support and publicise the efforts of someone who is relatively unknown, but should perhaps be better known; it may also be awarded in an attempt to extend a measure of protection to a persecuted or threatened campaigner.

Right, and even after scraping the bottom trump lost out.

 

Sure, no credibility, that's why trump was begging for it.

Funny this, rubio and other republicans endorsed Machado for the Nobel peace prize.

 

 

I believe understanding the process is always a good start before criticizing:

 

He could be a contender for 2026.  If he wins next year then millions coudld have nuclearl meltdowns.

Anyone would be more qualified than donnie diaper, applauded by worlds "dictators". He hasnt even managed create peace at home yet 🙂

No doubt the Nobel committee is having a really good laugh about this, to think that Trump even considered for a moment that he had a chance to win this thing, shows you how out of touch with reality he is, and how animatedly he has constructed his alternate universe. 

 

Earth to Trump. It is not always about you. 

I think he will just get one made for him self, and award it to himself,

like he does with all those golf tournaments he wins, 

 

Pushing and asking for a Nobel prize , is not very noble ,the man

has no shame at all.

 

regards worgeordie

Out back of the WH ranch he and his wife have mutilated with a taste that out-lows even the UK's Johnson, his family'll all be consoling him and telling him he can have another shot next year.

 

Don't fret Donny Boy.

 

Launches his own military and paramilitary mercenaries onto his own cities just like Belarus' Lukaschenko and Putin with his Omon, and honestly expects a NPP.

 

Maybe little rocket boy'll get the gang together to present him with their own?

PATHETIC in the extreme. MAGA.

Hey, but Trump has stopped 75 wars in 9 months, right?

You should read the Nobel Testament. Says nothing about stopping any major war, but say something about the nature of people actual for the prize. Trump fail on most topics.

He’ll probably create a new award “truth peace award” which will be of course more prestigious (according to him). Nominees can be dead or alive. The list for this year will be Jesus, Lincoln, Gandhi, Mandela, mother Theresa, and Trump. The 1000 judges vote will be one for each of the first five nominees and Trump will get 995. Later you can purchase the commemorative coin made in China costing 50c for $99.99.

Trump must be hurting--replaced by a Venezuelan! Hey, what about Tren de Aragua???

 

The peace prize does not only mean wars, it means conflicts of all nature. She holds an impeccable record and, remarkably, hasn't been killed by her opposition, yet.
