Yep. They proved to the world that it was purely political because Obama hadn’t done anything up to that point other than talk….and afterward he led the world again doing nothing….other than talk.

Unless you count the countless revolutions and carnage that followed.

Whatever his motivations, he’s better at leading and delivering peace than Obama.

Obama won it in 2009

that year’s nominations closed 11 days after his inauguration

kindly list the contributions to world peace he made as a junior Senator from Illinois, during his campaign, as President-elect, or in the first 10 days of his initial term as POTUS to warrant that nomination, much less the prize itself

bonus lulz: later, the 2009 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize threw a lavish state dinner for the man who imprisoned the 2010 winner for life

Ironic, considering violent crime stats.

Good news is you can’t be racist if you hate him entirely

Stop spreading lies.

“The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado for her efforts in promoting democratic rights and striving for a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy in Venezuela.”

When everything is racist, nothing is racist.

I’m sure I’m racist for a million other things.

Like the WHO, like the UN, like so many ather awards programs they are there to give credibility to evil people to convince you they are actually good people. It is a scam and has been for a long time.

Yes

Now they are making excuses why Trump doesn’t deserve it in their opinion. Trump achieved 8 peace agreements in 8 months including the biggest most notable peace agreement.

Nobel Peace Prize will be worthless if they dont give the 2025 prize to Trump…

He was lobbying for it. They aren't going to give it if he looks like he wants it.

It is my understanding the nominations for Nobel Peace Prize have to be in by end of January of the year it is awarded in October.

Trump is eligible to be nominated for 2026 prize.
