Donald Trump has been saying he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for years. Yesterday, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado handed Trump her medal she received earlier this year, but is that really how it works? The Nobel Peace Center has issued a rare statement clarifying whether Trump can accept the award.
Donald Trump has long wanted the Nobel Peace Prize. In recent months, as the 2025 year’s prize was set to be announced, the President of the United States ramped up his tone about how he is worth getting it as he stopped “eight wars.”
In October, he even slammed former President Barack Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
“He got a prize for doing nothing,” Trump said. “Obama got a prize, he didn’t even know what he got. He got elected and they gave it to Obama for doing absolutely nothing but destroying our country.”
