Shortly after the Nobel Peace Prize was announced on Friday, Norway - home of the independent Nobel Committee - is bracing for diplomatic fireworks for not awarding it to Donald Trump, according to users on social media. Many say that Norway must not only defend the committee's neutrality but also prepare for possible fallout, from fierce rhetoric to questions about Norway's international relations.
Some reports say that Norway is readying itself to Trump's wrath.
"Norway is bracing for Trump's reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize, stating that "US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy," according to a report in The Guardian.
Users also agreed with the assessment. "How dare the Nobel committee exclude Chickening out President Trump @realDonaldTrump from the race? Tariff on Norway is unstoppable now," commented one user.
"We're not a million miles away from the headline: Donald Trump declares war on Norway for not giving him the Nobel Peace Prize," said another.
"Trump lost out to a Venezuelan woman for the Nobel Peace prize - how will you celebrate ? Also lookout Norway," a third user said.

What the Nobel Peace Prize Demands
The Nobel Peace Prize, established under Alfred Nobel's 1895 will, goes to "the person who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses."
Each year, nominations must be submitted by January 31. Eligible nominators include cabinet ministers, heads of state, members of international courts, professors (history, law, social sciences, philosophy, theology), previous laureates, and certain appointed members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
After nominations close, the Norwegian Nobel Committee conducts a months-long evaluation. They prepare a shortlist, receive reports and advice from experts, and seek consensus in their decision. Failing consensus, decisions are made by majority vote. The final laureate is announced in early October in Oslo.
Trump was nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize by several figures, including Malta's Foreign Minister, citing his involvement in recent peace efforts such as mediating agreements in the Middle East and easing Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict tensions. Apart from that, the US President also claimed to have calmed tensions between India and Pakistan - something New Delhi rejected maintaining that Operation Sindoor paused after Pakistan's DGMO called requesting an end to it.
Apart from that, Trump also claimed that his intervention ended the Thailand-Cambodia conflict, and eased hostilities between Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo.
But, the Nobel Peace Prize, by tradition, implies not just peace-making but sustained work. Norway's Nobel Committee remains independent and bound by its statutes, putting weight on consistent long-term contributions rather than last-minute diplomacy.
Oh right. I forgot about them. Lol!
Trump is far greater than the Nobel committee. Maria is worthy. But Trump’s peers are Napoleon or Churchill or Eisenhower. People who changed the world order but never got the prize. Because they were bigger than the prize. The world is much better off because of Trump. Hopefully Maria will have success with Trump’s help. He has sent his Navy to help her. The EU, UN, CCP and Russia are Trumps foes. We have had weak presidents. Now we have a real force in the white house. A man who uses the might of the American government to fix the world’s major issues. Which includes the American government itself. Trump has been in office only 8 months in his second term. Let him finish his work, then the little college professors and authors and Nobel committees can judge him. But like with Eisenhower, or Reagan the people know who they want to lead them. And they will stand behind Trump and remember him fondly regardless of scribes who hope to judge Trump or hold his memory up to small standards.
Dude! Why punish Minnesotans that way?! (The Somali’s won’t care, of course.) :-)
Minnesotans will just have to make their own instead...................

Trump is dynamite!
ISWYDT..................
What? So they think he is going to nuke them?
Too early to give Trump that prize.
He does. He shouldn't, but he does.
If he won a Nobel, he'd certainly brag about it.
So what? He wasn’t named Miss Teen Norway either. That’s about as significant.
“”We’re not a million miles away from the headline: Donald Trump declares war on Norway for not giving him the Nobel Peace Prize,” said another.
“
Now why on earth would Trump do that?\?
Would be a total waste of time.
Lefties just love to stir up chaos and fears of something they cannot justify..................
A totally “Let’s hate Trump” story. See Tagline.
I was hoping he would win, just so he could tell them what they can do with it.
Oh, good grief. What a breathless, pearl-clutching bunch of nonsense.
It’s India, Jake, fugeddaboudit................
They should re-name it The Nobel Peace prize for women and people of color. Peace is its own reward—Blessed are the Peacemakers. Trump doesn’t need any more gold plate trophies for his collection to display at his Presidential Library.
His reward will be in seeing the hostages returned. Maybe Obama should give Trump his prize he didn’t earn.
Even Barry thought it was weird.
Some beeyatch who never made peace anywhere beats president Trump?
Purely political and Uber T D S!
