He is threatening to retaliate if denied the Nobel prize?

According to Reuters, (Finance Minister) Stoltenberg was walking down a street in Oslo when the unexpected call came through. Out of the blue, Trump launched into a discussion about trade and tariffs before shifting to a more personal request. He told the finance minister that he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, an accolade awarded by Norway that has previously gone to four U.S. presidents. Trump has had a long-standing fascination with the award and believes that he has earned it through his foreign policy achievements.

I just read about how stopping USAID is killing children in Africa.

The abrupt freeze of billions in U.S. foreign aid has fractured decades of global health and development work. Programs for HIV, malaria, and maternal health have stalled, tens of thousands of skilled professionals lost jobs, and U.S. nonprofits cut deeply into their staff.

The impact reaches beyond vulnerable communities to U.S. influence, security, and American livelihoods.

I hope that someone will alert the Nobel committee that such actions are not worthy of any prize

I still can't believe he's real. If he were a fictional character, I'd think the author went way over the line in creating an insecure villain.

Trump wants to be admired...but doesn't want to do the hard work and self-discipline necessary to be admired. But he'll be happy with the mere trappings of accomplishment.

Donald Trump’s open pining for a Nobel Peace Prize may actually damage the president’s chances of ever being awarded the prestigious honor and the $1 million that comes with it.

While not mentioning the president by name, Asle Toje, deputy leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, said that “influence campaigns” are more likely to have “a negative effect than a positive one” when the panel decides who gets the annual award.

“Some candidates push for it really hard and we do not like it,” Toje told Reuters. “We are used to work in a locked room without being attempted to be influenced. It is hard enough as it is to reach an agreement among ourselves, without having more people trying to influence us.”

The announcement noted that this is the second time Lukashenko won the prize (the first time was in 2013).

The 2025 Peace Prize Winner (awarded 18 Sep 2025):
Peace: Fritz Renner, Inge Kersbergen, Matt Field, and Jessica Werthmann, for "showing that drinking alcohol sometimes improves a person's ability to speak in a foreign language".


But also we can't rule out that he may have been involved in this 2025 Ig-Nobel-winning study:
Psychology: Marcin Zajenkowski and Gilles Gignac, for "investigating what happens when you tell narcissists — or anyone else — that they are intelligent"
