The Master's Plan { Mark Steyn }
Mark Steyn ^ | October 10, 2025 | Mark Steyn

~As you know, I regret that Donald J Trump is susceptible to the blandishments of the Royal Family. Likewise, I regret that he seeks the validation of the King of Norway and the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. I have had little regard for the latter at least since they enNobelled the world's Numero Uno celeb terrorist and Slav rent-boy addict Yasser Arafat. By comparison, this year's winner, the little-known Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, seems a more or less deserving winner. As for Trump getting frosted out, Reuters reports:

Ahead of the Nobel announcement, experts on the award had also said Trump was very unlikely to win as his policies were seen as dismantling the international world order the Nobel committee cherishes.
Thanks for putting it in a nutshell, you "experts". The absolute priority of the Trump Administration ought to be "dismantling the international world order" - because it is the "international world order" that has brought to the brink of oblivion the entire "west", including America. There is a certain irony in this, in that the "international world order" is largely the creation of the United States - which, upon its ascendancy to dominance three-quarters of a century ago, chose to act not as a conventional imperial power but through the fiction of a "global commons". It was inevitable, with the collapse of the Cold War balance of power, that the "global commons" would become something in its own right and that the "peace" it protects has proved far more lethal to the survival of the "free world" than the wars that preceded it.

Trumps push for peace is not driven primarily by a desire for the Noble Peace Prize , it is part of a larger strategy

Trump doesn’t care about the Nobel peace prize. He’ll get it but he’ll just put it up in his trophy room next to all his other tokens of accomplishments

It is not why he did this. He is very busy at his White House job This was part of that

"They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize. It's too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me," said Trump during a meeting, acknowledging he believes he merits it despite being overlooked.

The destruction of the “world order” may not be a priority but is with out doubt a by product of Trump policies and action.

By making America Great Again, things happen elsewhere to nations exhibiting Anti American practices.

The nation of Canada is in the process of literally coming apart. WEXIT is becoming a new nation that might end up as an American Territory. In the UK, great forces are rising to eliminate the stranglehold of the Labor/Tory parties. France is falling apart. Italy has a blonde conservative President.

It goes on and on.

He’s responding to a question. He does deserve it. That’s true. It’s too bad that the Nobel committee is providing further evidence that they’re political

He didn’t do this for the Nobel prize.

Exactly! Trump is a peacemonger.

The snobbery of the Nobel group probably reminds him of the snobbery and rejection his father and he experienced at the hands of upper crust Manhattan society.

Ultimately, you are right. This business of attempted humiliation by jerks doesn’t wear him down but only stiffens his resolve. Very American.

Trump isn’t interested in being sucked up to by the Royal Family or seeking approval from the globalists through the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump is interested in exposing their hypocrisy and duplicitness. His policies are already shattering the pillars of their fragile regimes and we’re not even a year in yet.

Why would anybody care about the opinions of the Nobel Committee?

That’s a really good question. They are the same ass holes who thought a murdering cleptocrat and pervert like Arafat deserved the award. Who in the hell is sick enough to give a damn what they think?

“F” Mark Steyn.

I used to like him and think he was hilariously funny, but not since he rabidly attacked so called “birthers” back in those days.

He is now DTM (DEAD To Me)
