It is almost funny how the White House is furious as Trump snubbed for Nobel Peace Prize, as if the prize now belongs to him by birthright. Is the Nobel Peace Prize his inheritance? Must it automatically go to him? The outrage from his team feels more dramatic than dignified. Sometimes it’s better to accept reality, not every loud claim of peace makes you a peacemaker.
The White House Should Rest
After the Nobel Committee announced Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as this year’s winner, Trump’s camp went wild. His communication director called the committee “political,” saying Trump “makes peace, ends wars, and saves lives.” Where are the facts please? Since when did exaggerated tweets and noisy rallies become the qualifications for global peace recognition?
What Has He Really Done?
Trump has spent more time demanding praise than earning it. Yes, he may have tried to negotiate in places like Gaza or pushed some peace talk headlines, but many of those “deals” barely survived the news cycle. Experts in Oslo said it clearly: his America First policies stand against the very spirit of the Nobel Peace Prize. You can’t preach peace while burning bridges across the world.
A Prize for Merit, Not Ego
The Nobel Prize is meant for those who unite the world, not those who divide it with ego and rhetoric. Being loud doesn’t make you right, and being President doesn’t make you deserving.
Bottom Line
At this point, the White House should calm down and move on. Being furious over something like this is not the scandal they think it is, it’s just a lesson. The Nobel is earned, not demanded. And if Trump truly believes he’s changing the world, he shouldn’t need a medal to prove it.
