In his hunting Nobel lies the Donald Trumpwhich according to international reports did not hesitate to push backstage to get it. Reports say he even contacted the former NATO chief and current Norwegian finance minister, Yen Stoltenberg, seeking his support.
“I have no idea, they may not give me it” He responded yesterday (09.10.2025), responding to journalists for the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump, unable to accept that what he has put in his mind will not happen. All for his hysteria.
After the Israel and Hamas Agreement for Gaza Truce, The US president believes it is time to add to the list of leaders who were honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. Only when the Oslo Committee has already decided and the road to the award proves to be more difficult than any election campaign.
The eyes of the planet are currently turning (10.10.2025) to Norway. At 12 hours of Greecewe will know who this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner will be – and Trump waits, or probably demands, to hear his name.
How likely is he to do it in the end? Is it enough for Gaza’s agreement to give Trump the prize he longs for and has become pure psychosis?
The dream of justification and ‘glue’ with Obama
Four US presidents have so far been honored with Nobel Peace – The Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. Trump wants to be the fifth. This desire, however, is accompanied by a ten -year rivalry with Obama, which Trump considers to be awarded “unfair”.
“Why he and not me?” He has repeatedly said, directly questioning the 2009 decision.
He insists that he is “worth” the prize, since – as he says – he has “intervened in a peacekeeping deal or truce per month” since he returned to the White House.
“No one else has sought the Nobel Prize in the manner and perseverance that Trump does, No one else has done such a campaign to get it, “the Financial Times commented.
“It is time for President Trump to be honored with the Nobel Peace Prize,” White House spokesman Caroline Levit recently agreed.
The US president has overtly expressed his indignation at Barack Obama’s award in 2009 for his “excellent efforts to boost international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. He had just taken over the presidency and that Trump could not digest it: “If I was called Obama, they would have given me the Nobel in ten seconds,” he has publicly protested.
December 10, 2009, Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the then President of the United States Barack Obama, who was were not in power more than eight months And of course, he had not yet solved any of the major foreign policy problems he inherited.
“Did he win? What? “ It was the general reaction to Washington.
Furthermore, the deadline for filing the nominations for the prize was just twelve days after Obama moved to the White House. That is, did those who proposed him evaluated him in twelve days?
The Nobel Committee said we were awarded the prize more for his intentions and to encourage him to act rather than his achievements. Reported that Obama was chosen “For his excellent efforts to boost international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
As its main achievement, the Commission mentioned the “new climate in international politics”.
Critics of his choice Obama described his reward as “premature”. Everyone – and those who agree and those who disagree, but also Obama himself – were surprised when they heard who won the Nobel Prize for Peace.
In his thankful speech, Obama found nothing better to say than paying tribute to war: the “fair and necessary war against evil”.
Why can’t Trump get this year – maybe next year?
The historic agreement announced for Gaza – the first phase of the Trump plan – came just 24 hours before the winner’s announcement. Timing did not go unnoticed, nor, of course, by the American president himself, who appeared to enjoy the justification he has been seeking for years.
He celebrated by talking to Fox News: “I think hostages will be back on Monday”, A few hours after the announcement of the Israeli -Hamas agreement, insisting that his own mediation “paved the way for the end of the war”.
In Israel, citizens were shouting slogans in his favor, while Benjamin Netanyahu gave him public credit: “The great efforts of our friend, President Trump, brought us to this crucial point.”
The practical problems
The Nobel Peace Prize is one of five awards, which were established by Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. Based on Nobel’s Testament this award must be given “To the person who had the greatest contribution to the twinning of nations, the abolition or reduction of military forces and the conduct and promotion of peace processes.”
The process remains almost mystical: Documents and nominations remain secret for 50 yearswhile decisions are based on the criteria set by Nobel – for those who have promoted friendship between nations, peace and the reduction of military conflict.
This year 338 people and organizations have been nominated for the Nobel. Tens of thousands of people (parliamentarians and ministers of all countries, formerly award -winning, some university professors, members of the Nobel Committee …) can submit a name as a candidate.
The 2024, Nihon Hidankyo was honored with the Nobel An organization of survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings conducting a crusade against nuclear weapons.
This year, submitting nominations for Nobel Peace Completed in late January 2025 – When Trump had just been re -elected and had not yet taken on duties. Therefore, this year’s award concerns actions of 2024. Prio’s Nina Greger notes: “If Trump’s peace plan for Gaza performs, It can be a candidate of time. “
According to the Norwegian Institute of Research on Peace (Prio), the committee’s decision was taken on Monday – long before the Israel -Hamas agreement. The Gaza Agreement came “too late” to change something. ‘The winner has already been selected’, confirmed the Nobel Institute.
“Trump won’t get the award this year. I’m 100% sure, “ The historian Asle Sveen told AFP. “It has allowed Netanyahu to bomb the Gaza and has provided significant military assistance to Israel.”
The names in circulation
AbsenceOslo circulates various names: of the Sudanese Volunteer Network of Immediate Intervention (ERR), Russian Julia Navalnahia, widow of opposition Alexei Navalni, or the Agency’s Safety and Cooperation Agency (OSCE).
In recent years, in the Nobel Committee’s choices “we observe a return to things a little closer to classic peace ideas, while maintaining the connection to human rights, democracy, press freedom and women,” says Halvard Leira, Norwegian Research Director.
‘My intuition is that this year it will be selected for the award a person not too controversial ‘, He says.
The Nobel Peace Prize Committee could thus choose to re -emphasize its commitment to a world class challenged by Donald Trump, awarding UN chief Antonio Guterres and/or a United Nations Service, such as HCR or HC.
International Justice – the UN International Court of Justice (CIJ) or the International Criminal Court – or the freedom of the threatening press, with the awarding of non -governmental organizations, such as the Committee on the Protection of Journalists (CPJs) and Journalists Without Borders (RSF) may also be distinguished.
Or to make the surprise, as he often does.
The committee recalls that the fact that someone is proposed “does not mean that they are a favorite”.
Among Trump’s “supporters” are Netanyahu, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and various politicians from the US and Europe. Most of the proposals, however, became late.
Even if he leaves empty hands today, Trump is not going to give up the idea. For him, the Nobel Peace Prize is more than a prize – it is personal obsession and proof of “justification”.
