The White House slammed the Nobel committee on Friday for playing “politics” with its prestigious peace prize after President Donald Trump lobbied heavily for the honor — only to see it awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. The committee said it was honoring her “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” Her victory came as the Trump administration has repeatedly targeted vessels off Venezuela’s coast, claiming they were “drug ships,” escalating its campaign against Venezuela’s drug cartels.The White House was bitter in its response to Friday’s award announcement. President Trump “has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will,” communications director Steven Cheung said in a post on social media. “The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace,” he added. Trump campaigned heavily for the prize, repeatedly boasting he had ended “seven wars” and reposting tributes on social media. But he tried to downplay expectations on Thursday, telling reporters in the Oval Office: “They’ll have to do what they do. Whatever they do is fine. I know this: I didn’t do it for that. I did it because I saved a lot of lives.” When asked about the pressure from Trump’s allies to give the president the award, Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes told reporters on Friday: “We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what for them leads to peace.” He added that the award is based on “courage and integrity, so we base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel.”>https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article312451909.html
>>1446553Trump received multiple nominations for the award, but many of them came after the Feb. 1 deadline for the 2025 prize. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed Trump deserved the peace prize for brokering a deal with Hamas, but his nomination came on Wednesday after a deal was announced. Pinellas County Republican U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina also attempted to nominate Trump for the prize earlier this week. “The Nobel Peace Prize should honor not just ideals, but real, measurable accomplishments,” Luna wrote in a letter to the prize committee in Norway on Wednesday, “I strongly urge you to award President Donald J. Trump the 2025 Nobel Peace.” The administration has not commented specifically on Machado winning the prize. She has built a powerful movement in Venezuela challenging President Nicolás Maduro’s regime.Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called her “the personification of resilience, tenacity, and patriotism.” In 2024, Rubio, who was then a senator from Florida, joined fellow Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida in nominating Machado for the peace prize. “She has risked everything to rally the previously flagging spirits of the Venezuelan people,” they wrote in a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee dated Aug. 26, 2024. “Machado stands as a beacon of hope and resilience.”
>>1446553Yeah. Dude just ended the Gaza conflict. He deserves it. He fucking sucks, but I can admit that he did a good thing, a really really good thing.
>>1446554Six other members of the Florida congressional delegation signed onto that nomination, including all three South Florida Republicans — Reps. María Elvira Salazar, Carlos A. Giménez and Mario Díaz-Balart. Friday’s Peace Prize is reflective of work done in 2024, which was before Trump assumed his second term in office. Rubio has yet to comment on Machado’s win. Sen. Rick Scott wrote on X it was “great to see” Machado win the award, calling her, “a hero and freedom and democracy leader in Venezuela.” A few minutes later, he added a second post: “With today’s Nobel Peace Prize announcement, we can’t forget the accomplishments of President Trump,” adding that Trump should be the next winner.OTHER SOURCES:>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nobel-peace-prize-goes-maria-corina-machado-despite-calls-trump-receive-award>https://www.axios.com/2025/10/10/nobel-peace-prize-winner-machado-venezuela-trump>https://www.livemint.com/news/us-news/nobel-prize-2025-news-live-updates-nobel-peace-prize-winner-venezuela-maria-machado-donald-trump-reaction-11760092024884.html
>>1446555>Guys he totally ended it>Nothing will restart or happen >Trust me bro there's no way hostilities can ever restart nowMaybe save this for at minimum when they actually trade hostages.
>>1446557okay, but if it does work its worthy of a peace prize right? He did what everyone else in the world tried to do and couldn't accomplish. Its a big deal imo and I am prepared to give him this one.
>>1446565Maybe wait for it to actually happen. And consider how his primary interest in this is fucking real estate and covering for Netanyahu's war crimes.
>>1446573I cant relate to people who are so broken that they come up with shit like > his primary interest in this is fucking real estate and covering for Netanyahu's war crimes.There has been mass protests and endless shitstirring for 2 years by people who want the war to end. Then when someone actually ends it, its not good enough.
The fuck did this ass clown even do for Gaza? Jack shit. And we all know the 'peace' won't last since it never does. His desire for a peace prize is pure vanity since Obama getting one broke his little racist brain. He's one of the most undeserving people for one in the whole world.
>>1446576You would prefer the bombings to continue?
>>1446553Maybe Alfred Nobel can finish off what all the Big Macs and Amphetamines have been setting him up for
>>1446575Because it’s words right now from one of the most prolific liars on planet earth being nominated by one of the most evil Jews on it.
>>1446575>actually ends ityour adhd ass can't even wait until it's really over and you want to blow him with an award on his neck
>>1446553A previous US president did far more 47 years ago, yet Jimmy Carter didn't receive the Nobel Peace Prize until 2002. Patience is a virtue.So what's your excuse, you orange Karen?
>>1446553>President Trump “has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will,”God damn, you people are fucking nuts.
>>1446553This is the most brilliant move by the oligarchs. Trump obviously wanted it but in no way was going to get it. This satisfies both sides. The liberal normie thinks it's a huge win because it's a brown woman saying she's against a military dictatorship. The right loves it because they know this is a huge win for them in trying to enact regime change in Venezuela >>1446556Why Venezuela? They have the largest resource of oil on earth and an independent government that wants to decide what they do with that resource. The US dollar is mostly based on the price of oil, so nothing is more important than controlling that.tl;dr even the Nobel Peace Prize is just another oligarch puppet show.
I understand that posters here are morons, but the 2025 Prize is for actions taken in 2024. All Trump did in 2024 was run for President, he didn't hold any office of any kind and obviously didn't do anything to help world peace last year.Would've been pure kino if Biden had won it tho.
Trump can win next year's Nobel prize for actions taken this year. That's how the award works. He doesn't understand that, of course.
>>1446711Didn't stop the White House and GOP from throwing a tantrum that he didn't win.
>>1446712He knows there's a decent chance he'll be either dead of a heart attack or impeached due to a blue wave this time next year.
>>1446715Or you know, the third one: the Epstein files are out and the whole world knows he fucked kids.
He will never recieve the Nobel Peace Price. True, its one of the most politically charged prizes out there. But the price goes to individuals who actively work for freedom and democracy in peaceful ways. Trump ist undermining democracy and freedom in his own country. Straight out of the white supremacy playbook. Sure, badly copied and implemented, but it will do.He's a felon, a pedophile, a racist, power hungry greedy hyper capitalist grifter, who bows his head for dictators and war criminals and does everything in his power to show his total lack of empathy when his own people die. He is making the world a worse place to be in. "Ending" the Gaza conflict, which will not happen, wont cut it. The world awaits his death.
>>1446565Fuck off retard we had plenty of Palestinian-Israel peace deals made by previous presidents.They didn't last.
>peace prize goes to CIA plant preparing the jews' next war
>>1446713that's the point. There are two options:1) Trump knew full well that the awards are for works done in 2024 and is simply playing to his moronic cult, or2) Trump truly doesn't understand how this works.
>>1446711Endorse legitimate Nobel peace price nominees by nominating to Nobel committee!!!
Vote Greta Thunberg for peace Prize 2025!
>>1446553>repeatedly boasting he had ended “seven wars”Boasting doesn't make it true.
Thunberg for Peace Prize 2026!!
