It’s been exactly one year since Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. His performance notwithstanding, you’d think the honor of holding the office for a second time would be enough to satiate his thirst for recognition, but he really wants a Nobel Peace Prize too. Now, his administration is making attacks on social media calling the Nobel Committee “pretentious nonsense.”
Typically, the Nobel Committee chooses all its winners across disciplines by Dec. 10. So the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize is a long-gone conclusion, regardless of what Maria Corina Machado chooses to do with her physical award. When Machado regifted her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, mockery came Trump’s way, calling his embrace of the farce embarrassing, not only from his critics but from the Nobel Committee itself.
