Just one day after the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack by Hamas, it was announced that Israel and Hamas accepted the terms of President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war.
It was a feat that then-President Joe Biden could not accomplish. In fact, it was a feat that no other world leader could accomplish in the course of two years. And yet Trump, in 10 months, has ended a devastating war. Such a breakthrough would certainly warrant the Nobel Peace Prize.
But on Friday it was announced that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the award. Notably, Machado dedicated her award to Trump “for his decisive support of our cause.”
Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes suggested Friday that Trump didn’t win the award — not simply because he missed the nomination deadline, which was in January — but because he lacked “courage and integrity.”

“This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. So we base only our decision on the work and will of Alfred Nobel,” Frydnes said when asked about the push for Trump to be given the award following the historic peace deal.
Perhaps, then, if the commission bases its decision on the “work and will of Alfred Nobel” it makes sense that Trump was not awarded the prize because Nobel was a Jew-hater.
In a letter to his mistress Sofie Hess, Nobel wrote “In my experience, [Jews] never...”

That’s when the ‘peace’ prize lost all legitimacy for me.
Trump should be glad that he’s not been insulted by receiving the award. It’s been tainted for a long time.
Child please! Kissinger won it too.
I’d lose respect for President Trump if he ever accepted it. It’s a urinal puck.
You had to apply in January 2025...giving it to Trump would have been like giving it to Obama...lets get over this.
Look at all the NPP winners - most of them are political hacks.

The first worthy winner was TR in 1906.
Exactly! I want the meme of “That’s not how it works!”’ This argument is foolish
I knew it was a joke when Barry got one back in 2009, or whenever it was.
What a joke.
Chill y’all! This is the 2024 Nobel peace, prize, and nominations closed in January.

"Proves The Nobel Peace Prize Is A Joke"
Obama and Algore showed it was a joke long ago
It was proven when obama got it for being elected.
The feeling of the Frydnes announcement (even though most logically thinking persons didn’t think DJT had a chance at winning, even if he was Jesus Christ ncarnate) seemed freakishly similar to the feeling we had when Comey enumerated the list of crimes committed by Hillary Clinton, then announced she wouldn’t charged or prosecuted.
Hope “peace” actually happens in Gaza. But it aint over till it is over.
Now Trump should focus on Ukraine now fighting off a Russian Invasion almost 4 years old. After all, Trump confidently told the world that if elected he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours
“Montage of clips of Trump “guaranteeing” that he will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, that “it wouldn’t even be tough” for him to do, and that “everyone will be happy” with the end result.”

I thought that Muchado dedicating the prize to Trump was a thoughtful gesture.
Classy.
