He blames politics and praises the winner for acknowledging his role.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize announcement, Donald Trump expressed frustration over not receiving the honor, asserting that he had \u201cended wars\u201d and deserved recognition. The prize was awarded to <em>Mar\u00eda Corina Machado<\/em>, a Venezuelan opposition leader celebrated for her fight for democracy and peaceful transition from dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p>Trump criticized the Nobel Committee\u2019s decision, saying, <em>\u201cObama got a prize for doing nothing\u2026 He got elected and they gave it to him for destroying our country.\u201d<\/em> He contrasted this with his own record, claiming he had made real strides toward global peace.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the snub, Trump revealed that Machado had personally called him to dedicate her award in part to his support for Venezuela\u2019s democratic movement. He said, <em>\u201cShe called me and said, \u2018I\u2019m accepting this in honor of you.\u2019\u201d<\/em> Trump added that he didn\u2019t ask for the prize but appreciated the gesture.<\/p>\n<p>Experts, however, noted that Trump had \u201cno chance\u201d of winning this year due to the Nobel Committee\u2019s strict criteria for peacebuilding. Historian Asle Sveen remarked that the committee prioritizes sustained, non-partisan efforts toward peace, which Trump\u2019s record did not meet.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, some analysts speculate Trump could be a more serious contender in 2026, depending on future diplomatic achievements. For now, his comments have reignited debate over the politicization of the Nobel Peace Prize and the legacy of past recipients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump believes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and claims he may be a contender next year, despite being passed over in 2025.
