Trump says missing Nobel Peace Prize insults America
Trump declared on Monday that if his newly announced plan to end the Gaza conflict succeeds, it would mark his eighth major conflict resolved in just eight months. He framed the effort as proof of his unmatched deal-making skills, suggesting no other leader could accomplish what he has in such a short time. Supporters hailed the bold claim as evidence of his global influence, while critics warned it was premature, noting the deep complexity and fragile nature of the Gaza situation.
Trump Says Denial of Nobel Peace Prize Would Be “Big Insult” to America
New York: U.S. President Donald Trump has once again placed himself at the center of the global stage, this time claiming it would be a “big insult” to the United States if he is not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His comments came as he touted his latest plan to end the Gaza conflict — a plan he insists could bring about peace in the region after decades of bloodshed.
Speaking Tuesday to military leaders in Quantico, Trump described the initiative with characteristic self-assurance. “We got it, I think, settled. We’ll see,” he said, before cautioning that the agreement depends on Hamas. It’s an amazing thing. It just came together.”
If the plan works, Trump declared, it would represent the eighth conflict he claims to have resolved in as many months. “That’s pretty good. Nobody’s ever done that,” he boasted, contrasting himself with previous leaders whom he portrayed as ineffective.
The president then turned his focus to the Nobel Committee, launching into a familiar grievance about what he sees as bias against him. “Will you get the Nobel Prize? Absolutely not,” Trump said. The Nobel Prize will go to a writer, yeah, but we’ll see what happens.”
Trump insisted his demand for recognition was not about personal glory but about national pride. “It’ll be a big insult to our country. I will tell you that. I don’t want it. I want the country to get it.
He went further, casting himself as uniquely suited for peacemaking because of his career in business. “Think of it. So if this happens — and I think it will — I don’t say that lightly, because I know more about deals than anybody. This is what my whole life was based on.”
Trump’s remarks immediately sparked both admiration and skepticism. Supporters praised his confidence, viewing his statements as evidence of a president unafraid to demand credit for results. Critics, however, questioned the premature nature of his declarations, noting that peace in Gaza has eluded world leaders for generations and that claiming victory before agreements are finalized risks undermining credibility.
For Trump, though, the calculation seems simple: if he brings peace where others have failed, history — and the Nobel Committee — must take notice. Whether the world agrees remains to be seen.
