Not even brokering a historic cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas that ended more than two years of war was enough for President Trump to secure the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
Early Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
“Machado is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize first and foremost for her efforts to advance democracy in Venezuela. But democracy is also in retreat internationally. Democracy – understood as the right to freely express one’s opinion, to cast one’s vote and to be represented in elective government – is the foundation of peace both within countries and between countries,” Norwegian Nobel Committee wrote in a statement, adding that Machado “meets all three criteria stated in Alfred Nobel’s will for the selection of a Peace Prize laureate.”
Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chairman of the Nobel Peace Committee, was asked by reporters about international pressure to award the prize to President Trump for his historic Israel-Hamas peace deal. He noted that “in the long history” of the Nobel Peace Prize, the committee has seen many different campaigns and “media tension,” adding that it receives letters and emails each year from people around the world expressing “what, for them, leads to peace.”
Frydnes concluded, “We base our decision only on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel.”
It is of course ironic that a major reason Machado isn’t president is because Biden sided with Maduro to get (cheap) Venezuela oil to try and bring down inflation during his term.
It’s important to note that Barack Hussein Obama received the 2009 prize for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
What exactly were those “extraordinary efforts”? By the time Obama won the prize, he accomplished very little; in fact, in the years ahead, the former left-wing president went on to drop 26,000 drone strike bombs across seven countries and stoked racial divisions in America to unprecedented levels.
Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize for getting elected as a black man

“The Nobel Prize is sorely tarnished from giving it to unworthy scoundrels like Obama,” Dinesh D’Souza wrote on X.

What’s laughable is that globalists award themselves and their friends fancy prizes for doing “God’s work” – yet under their decades of rule, they’ve managed to spark endless wars, implement failed Keynesian economics that fueled a global debt crisis, push toxic Marxist-inspired social, criminal justice reforms and other policies, and enforce nation-killing open borders, among countless other disastrous ideas that have sown chaos worldwide. Yet when Trump comes to power to correct these failed globalist policies, the same liberal elites label him a “threat to democracy,” a “fascist,” a “Nazi,” and every other insult in the dictionary. Maybe it’s time for a new Nobel Prize system, just like Elon Musk is about to usher in a new Wikipedia-like platform, called Grokipedia.
As Just The News’ Amanda Head points out, Trump’s global peace powers extend beyond the Middle East and his first-term Abraham Accords. Thus far Trump has significantly de-escalated or fully ended six conflicts, not including Israel’s end-stage war with Iran-backed Hamas, averaging over one success a month since May.
In September 2025, Trump announced at the United Nations General Assembly that his administration’s diplomacy efforts — leveraging trade incentives — had decisively ended the long-simmering conflict between Serbia and Kosovo, preventing a catastrophic new outbreak and paving the way for peace and prosperity in the Balkans, where long-simmering tensions reached a fever pitch in the last five years.
In August 2025, Trump brokered a landmark diplomatic resolution to another long-simmering dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, averting the threat of armed conflict through White House negotiations that secured water-sharing commitments and U.S. investment pledges, ensuring Nile River stability for millions downstream while boosting regional economic ties.
On August 8, Trump mediated the signing of a historic peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House, formally ending their decades-long Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and establishing normalized relations, though ratification by both nations remains pending.
In July 2025, Trump brokered a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand through direct calls to their leaders and threats to halt trade negotiations with each nation unless hostilities ended, halting five days of deadly border clashes that killed at least 35 people and displaced over 260,000, though the truce has since shown signs of fraying amid mutual accusations of agreement violations.
In May 2025, Trump claimed credit for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following four days of intense cross-border strikes over Kashmir, citing U.S. mediation and trade leverage to avert nuclear escalation, though India maintains the truce was achieved directly through bilateral military channels without third-party involvement.
But that’s still not enough to warrant a Peace Prize?
