After nine months in office Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his supposed "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people." In other words, the awards committee wanted to hand him the Prize. Over the next seven years, Obama aptly demonstrated that he was undeserving and ex-Nobel secretary Geir Lundestad expressed deep regrets to the Associated Press.
Head and Shoulders Above
By comparison, during his first term President Trump initiated a new era of both American relations with foreign nations and the possibility of long-term peace in otherwise troubled regions. In his second term, in less than one month, Donald Trump has made bold strides regarding Israel and Hamas, Ukraine and Russia, and Middle East nations and the U.S.
The Nobel Peace Prize committee has the chance to show the world anew that they’re committed to the cause of peace by the wishes of founder Alfred Nobel. The committee might, however, repeat their past, overlook Trump’s many achievements, and offer their Prize to ‘pre-approved’ individuals or groups. To do so would further undermine the integrity of the Prize.
As per its founding, “The Nobel Prize is a set of annual international awards bestowed in several categories by Swedish and Norwegian institutions in recognition of academic, cultural, or scientific advances.” Well-known by those who pay attention to world events and unknown to liberals, President Trump was nominated in his first term for a Peace Prize and was most deserving of it.
No Small Feats
Among other states, he brokered the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, subsequently joined by Bahrain. This in itself was a monumental achievement. Unlike his predecessors, Trump embarked upon unconventional approaches to finding solutions in this turmoil-laden region. Spearheaded by Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser at the time, the relations between these Middle Eastern countries became normalized—plane flights to and from commenced.
President Trump also was instrumental in coordinating a new era of peace between Kosovo and Serbia – nations that had been skirmishing for decades. Kosovo, a 95% Muslim nation, and Serbia, a Christian nation for 12 centuries, launch unprecedented commerce and trade agreements, long unseen in that region. This development alone deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, and everybody on the Nobel committee knows it, but they choose not to heed Trump’s achievement or their own mission.
A breed apart, President Trump established an overarching policy of not starting wars, reducing troop levels globally, and declaring that the U.S. or any other nation cannot serve as the world's police force. Then, as now, he is against getting into long-term skirmishes and endless wars.
Now for the Best
While Trump is again rebuilding the U.S. military to a place of unmatched dominance, his peace through strength initiatives are paying off. His dramatic shift away from the U.S. presidents before him is worthy of the Peace Prize, especially following Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Trump’s first-term peace initiatives were roundly discounted or downplayed by the Leftist mainstream press, including the declining New York Times and the farcical Washington Post. Will these two institutions finally relent? Regardless, long after these once prominent media giants have fractured into something else, Trump’s peace-related breakthroughs will be viewed as brilliant.
So, to sum up, Donald Trump earned the Nobel Peace Prize several times in his first term and several times already in 2025. His historic strides regarding Israel and Hamas, Ukraine, and Russia, and the U.S. and nations around the world cannot be denied.
Ignore Your Peril
It will be upsetting to the world’s Leftist, but the Prize must be awarded to Trump. The Norwegian and Swedish Leftists who award the Peace Prize can pretend he has made no impact on world peace, but at their own peril – this time, perhaps irrevocably, they will cheapen their Prize.
To disregard Trump again is the same as saying our award is only for people who adhere to a certain political view, ideology, or predisposition. We're not objective, we don't care, and we’ll give the award to whomever we darn well please – a posture that will seal their fate and expose their one-sidedness to the world.
As for Alfred Noble, he'll be turning over in his grave.
