Summary
Trump’s confrontational approach to Ukraine, overshadowing any potential diplomatic achievement, raises doubts about his Nobel Peace Prize chances.
Critics, including Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who previously nominated Trump, warn that a Russia-leaning deal unsettles Europe.
Trump’s testy meeting with President Zelenskyy, marked by demands for gratitude and threats of withdrawing support, has stoked fears that negotiations are collapsing.
The Nobel Committee’s focus on honorable conduct also factors in, with Trump’s hostility toward the press and Europe’s concerns over territorial aggression undermining the “greatest benefit of humankind” requirement.
He can follow his small mustached leader’s approach to vacating office and everyone would gladly celebrate his accomplishment.
umm majority voted for him!
31%. That means 69% (nice) didn’t vote for him.
Majority did not, in fact, vote for him.
Ah, you’re right, by the time they counted all the votes his popular vote percentage had just dipped under 50%. He still got more votes than his opponent, though, which is an improvement over his last elections.
Personally I’m hoping for a more “French” ending but I’ll take what I can get.
The Italian ending would also be acceptable.
That seems like a terrible thing to inflict on the people of St. Helena.
Zelensky deserves a peace prize for not punching Trump right in his fat face during that horrible meeting.
The Nobel committee has a great opportunity to make a point here.
It really would be a hilarious thumb of the nose at Trump. I for one would love to see it for that reason alone.
Is there an anti-Nobel Peace Prize winner?
Winning that you usually end up dead in a bunker by your own hand covered in petrol, dead via bayonet to the anus, or beaten to death by a crowd along with your wife and strung upside-down.
In that case, I’d like to nominate him.
There’s the Ig Nobel Prize. It’s satirical so there’s a chance he wouldn’t understand that it’s not the real one. Which would make the ceremony funnier as he gets pelted with paper airplanes and heckled.
I don’t think they give Nobel Prizes to pieces of shit.
He’ll probably seize one from someone he hates and claim presidential immunity for the crime.
I remember that one; asked to see it, then just pocketed it while his guards moved in-between them.
Trumps still butthurt that Obama got a Peace Prize and he didn’t.
Yea, but it was kinda weird that Obama was awarded for … wait what did he do again?
But Obama did live up to the principals. He ordered hundreds of drone strikes and assassinations, and Trump has never touched Obama’s deportation numbers. But he did host the beer summit for the racist pig who arrested his old professor. So I guess he’s got that going for him, which is nice.
Obama holds the record for most Doctors Without Borders hospitals bombed by a Nobel peace prize winner
LOL
He should start by doing something, anything, to make the world a more peaceful place.
Not necessarily, helping commit the Gaza Genocide might be enough.
The Nobel Peace Prize has a long tradition of awarding Genociders and war mongers from Henry Kissinger onward.
The Nobel Committee values global benefit, not political theater or coercion.

Didn’t Obama get one for just being elected? Maybe there was a specific reason but the peace prizes are basically “vibes”
Obama’s award still confuses me. Why not wait for actual accomplishments before handing it out?
🐱🐱🐱🐱
Even Obama said he doesn’t know why they gave it to him.
“Keeping Up With the Kissingers”
There may be an argument to award him one posthumously if he can somehow take control of Air Force One while Musk, Vance and RFK Jr. are onboard and crash it directly into Putin.
