October 9, 2025

There's a lot of talk about Trump maybe getting the Peace Prize tomorrow, but he's so much in the middle of trying to pull off a deal in Gaza (not to mention Ukraine)...

... that it seems like the wrong time. Wait till next year. Or is there a good argument that it would be great to give it to him now?

That's my question. Discuss. Feel free to read how Grok answered it: here.

The Grok discussion begins with 2 other questions: 1. If the Nobel Committee gives its peace prize to someone who later starts an unjust war or does something else that's anti-peace, can it revoke the prize?, and 2. It only gives the prize to living persons, so how can it handle the problem of these persons going on to do bad things?

ADDED: Headline at Bloomberg: "Norway on Edge Over Trump Ahead of Nobel Peace Prize Verdict." Oh, Norway, get over yourself. 

UPDATE: "Nobody in history has solved 8 wars in a period of 9 months," said Trump, today, when invited to talk about his chance at tomorrow's Peace Prize.

There is probably an even better argument that he won't get it at all, for the same reason that Obama got his for doing nothing.

rehajm said...

Are we suddenly enamored with this again? Awarding the Obama one gave the game away…

Aggie said...

Well.... nothing that had anything to do with peace, anyway.

Jaq said...

The Peace Prize is controlled by the globalists, so if Trump wins it, something is up.

RideSpaceMountain said...

"Or is there a good argument that it would be great to give it to him now?"

They will never give him a Nobel Peace Prize. Prove me wrong.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Per Jaq, to do such a thing would be 'legitimizing'. Not happening...

rehajm said...

Was curious: betting markets give Trump 3/1 odds. Next person is Navalnaya at 13/2. Thunberg is 25/1…

Achilles said...

If the Nobel Committee gives its peace prize to someone who later starts an unjust war or does something else that's anti-peace, can it revoke the prize?

Why haven't they taken Obama's back yet?

Jaq said...

Hillary is more likely to win it for destroying civil society in Libya and re-opening the slave markets. How did this bring peace, you say? The same way that putting the head-choppers in charge in Syria did, you know, the ones slaughtering Christians in massacre after massacre? If we can reduce every potential rival to vast expanses of rubble ruled over by warlords, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, etc, well, warlords don't bother with foreign policy, and are easily bribed to do our bidding.

Jaq said...

We are trying to do the same thing to Iran. Destroy a country that is thousands of years old, reduce it to a collection of satrapies, the Persians invented the game, BTW, in the Bronze Age, well, then we will have brought "peace."

Kakistocracy said...

Why not give it to Trump, Putin and Netanyahu at the same time? Consistency is key. /s

They renamed the Department of Defense to Department of War - why not rename the Nobel Peace Prize to the Nobel War Prize — Trump would be equally happy either way.

Kakistocracy said...

Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to American cities and the unlawful killing and blowing up boats in the Caribbean will go nicely in the citation to the prize!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

rehajm said...

Do we know who finishes second? If so give me a NATO/Navalnaya exacta box…

Dave Begley said...

Trump should get it this year and next. Next year he'll have a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

The year after that, Marco Rubio should get the Peace Prize. He could use the money and buy a bigger boat.

Immanuel Rant said...

I don't recall all these nuanced discussions when Arrafat got one.

And Hell, that wasn't even a worry about *future* problematic acts.

narciso said...

Because it was already fake then

Achilles said...

I would rather the Nobel Prize committee give it to someone less deserving.
Trump should refuse it and eliminate their legitimacy if they try to give it to him.

tim maguire said...

You are arguing that the Prize committee should adopt an extra requirement, special for Trump. Will it be discontinued again after Trump like all the other special Trump requirements?

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Irrelevant. Won’t happen. Not this year. Not next. Never.

"Trump should refuse it"

"I wasn't good enough for you before, and I'm definitely not good enough for you now." - Trump

Great idea. Epic.

tcrosse said...

It would be just like him to institute the Trump Peace Prize, since the Nobel has been severely devalued. Imagine a big gold medallion with you-know-who's kisser on it.

wild chicken said...

They'll give it to Greta Thunborg.

Or did she get one already?

Breezy said...

He’s already resolved other conflicts. There is no one more deserving. He should get the prize this year. If he doesn’t get it, Emperor Nobel will be naked.

RideSpaceMountain said...

It's already naked. It's a farce. Trump should reject it as such.

Olds69 said...

As a Norwegian speaking: of course Trump will not get the Peace prize. 1: he is too orange. 2: he is crude. 3: he is not a globalist. 4: he did not look good in a suit. 5: he doesn't even speak French. Nothing he can do will negate these drawbacks.

Wilbur said...

If he receives the award, obviously the correct response would be for Trump to tell those insincere globalists to stick it up their ass.
He might do it.

Patentlee said...

What about the Obama precedent? The winner doesn’t have to bring about peace, but rather only have the potential to do so.

RideSpaceMountain said...

"What about the Obama precedent?"

Trump could reject it wearing blackface. Oh boy...the frisson would be positively immense, I can already feel it in my water.

TeaBagHag said...

Don’t forget that Donnie also arrested Anfifa’s girlfriend.

Big Mike said...

Of course Donald Trump will never win a Nobel Prize. Ridiculous to even imagine it.

And I’d respond to Grok with two questions of my own. First, who gets to decide whether a war is “just” or “unjust”? Second, who gets to decide whether “something” is good or bad?

Quaestor said...

"It only gives the prize to living persons, so how can it handle the problem of these persons going on to do bad things?"

It's never bothered them in the past. Examples: Yasir Arafat, Al Gore, Barack Obama (still a mysterious why), and the European Union that forced mass uncontrolled immigration on Europe which has done nothing but promote violent crime and probably civil war.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee is staffed by cranks and propagandists. If they were really interested in peace, Trump would already be a laureate.

Achilles said...

RideSpaceMountain said...

You were a couple words off...

Aww folks, enjoy this. This is fun.
The greatest President of all time has set this up for our amusement.
Next to how he decorates his office, this is another least important thing. Instead of peacefully handing out their stupid trophies to the sound of their own applause, they’re on the hot seat now. They give the Prize to Trump, they’re a laughing stock. They don’t give the Prize to Trump, they’re a laughing stock. It’s win win for Trump and win win for us.

Bob Boyd said...

They could always give Trump a 2nd one later.
I find it difficult to imagine they'd give one to Trump though.
If they gave it to Trump, how many other recipients would make a dramatic show of giving theirs back?

TeaBagHag said...

Trump could shit in your oatmeal and you would

Left Bank of the Charles said...

They may give it to him now. The European strategy is to puff up Trump’s ego, so that would fit right in. But the prize decision was reportedly made Monday, so the announcement of Gaza deal, which in any case is not yet a done deal, missed the deadline. Plus, Trump is threatening imminent war against Portland, Oregon, which would be a bad look for the December prize ceremony.

hanuman_prodigious_leaper said...

Imagine a big gold medallion ...

Tacitus said...

Maybe some of the old line institutions are starting to actually consider that they are on the fast track to irrelevance. IF Trump pulls off a hostage release, AND some kind of cessation of hostilities, they'd pretty much have to give him something. But how? Maybe a shared prize. Trump, plus whoever runs Quatar, plus the head of Hamas. Oh....well how about his deputy who then stepped up. Oh........

It seems like giving it to the wrong person too soon is the standard operating principle. Trump should refuse it if offered. Make the prize's political bullshit a big news story. The thing is an embarrassment. Nobel is turning in his grave.

Trump is the first Person of Orange (PoO).

MountainMan said...

They will never give Trump a Nobel Peace Prize. I don't know why he would even want or why anyone thinks it is really worth anything. That award lost credibility years ago by giving it to such accomplised peacemakers as Yasser Arafat; Barack Obama, who had done absolutely nothing except get elected; and Al Gore, for initiating the climate change hoax. Just forget about it.

Trump is perfectly capable and willing to do his own PR and aggrandizement. The Nobel committee are pikers anyway. Nobody with a brain needs them to tell us who is advancing peace.

bagoh20 said...

Trump should create a new prize. "The Trump Real Deal Golden Peace Prize".
Greatest peace prize ever created. A beautiful thing. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. I can tell you that.

"Nobel is turning in his grave."

It's ironic that the man who invented nitroglycerine would be so disturbed by his penance being given to so many users of his product.

doctrev said...

If the globalists running the NPP were smarter, they would realize that President Trump is banking on being refused. It isn't merely that globalism is completely impotent to negotiate actual peace deals, it's that they're obsessed with instigating wars and dragging in America to save them. Especially in Ukraine.

The smartest idea would be to hand President Trump the prize, and develop a major "leader of the free world" narrative to keep America emmeshed in Ukraine. As it is I bet they'll hand it to some anti-Trump personality.

TeaBagHag said...

Do you get an extra prize if you supplied the bombs that murdered 60,000 + civillians in Gaza?
Maybe he’ll get the special Protector of the Children prize for flying on the Lolita express and raping children with his close personal pal, Jeffy Epstein.

Josephbleau said...

As Eva Marie said “ They give the Prize to Trump, they’re a laughing stock. They don’t give the Prize to Trump, they’re a laughing stock. ”

So the committee is screwed, they have no rational choice so they should just give the award to Tredeau over in Xanada for saving everyone from Covid.

Eva Marie said...

TeaBagHag, you have a preoccupation with shit. Kinky.

TeaBagHag said...

No, but you get a special prize for making the heads of retards who support Hamas pop with indignation.

Shouting Thomas said...

For fun, I took a look around Legacy Media to see how they covered this, given that they’ve pictured Trump as dumb yahoo unfit for office. MSNBC buried the story in a sidebar and omitted Trump’s name. NYT also dumped the story in a sidebar and their lead story omitted Trump’s name, but a story farther down the page mentioned him. How long before everybody throws in the towel and admits that Trump is a strategic genius?

Derve said...

Yeah, you can't give him the prize until the hostages are released. There's still a lot that is going to go wrong... wait and see. They won't be happy with the bodies being returned. Netanyahu will find a way to keep things going. Don't be naive.

Odds are around 20% for trump but i'll lay around 12.5% with all his bombings, no process on shooting boats out of water with no transparency, invading US CITIES. These reasons alone put him low on the pole over DRS without boarders and many other lasting peace situations.Many of his nominations came after the January 31 deadline, making them ineligible for this year.
The Nobel Committee tends to favor quiet diplomacy and sustainable peace, not headline-grabbing or unilateral actions.
His record includes military actions, withdrawal from global accords, and a confrontational style that doesn’t align with Nobel’s peace ethos.I would wager 15-1 against this fellows chances. Someone or thing more LOW KEY and not hollywood style begging for it..(but you never know if the BIG $$$$ creeped in and will be an inside influence,nothing is sacred anymore.

Trump's leaked acceptance speech

Thank you. Thank you. What a crowd. A tremendous crowd. They tell me these are the smart people, the elite. And you know what? You are. Because you’re here, and you’re giving this to me. And that makes you very, very smart.

I have to be honest, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get this. Not because I didn’t deserve it—I deserve many of them, believe me—but because, let’s face it, the people in this room… you used to be very unfair to me. Very unfair. The fake news, they’d say, “Trump will never get a Nobel.” They said it was impossible. They’re now saying it’s the most incredible thing they’ve ever seen.

But here we are. And we’re here because we did something nobody else could do. We made peace. Not weak peace, not the kind of peace where you get a bad deal and you get walked all over. We got strong peace. The best peace.

When I came into office, the world was a mess. A total disaster. The Middle East—and I know you’re not supposed to say it, but I’ll say it—it was a horror show. ISIS was all over the place. They had the caliphate. It was gone. In weeks. I said to our generals, great generals, the best we’ve ever had, I said, “Get rid of it.” And they did. It was gone.

Then, we looked at the so-called “experts” who’d been doing this for years, for decades, and they couldn’t get it done. All talk, no action. They’d have conferences in beautiful Swiss cities, spend a fortune, and come back with nothing. A big, fat zero.

But we did it. We brought together nations that, frankly, hated each other. They didn't know they could get along. I said, "You can get along." And they did. The Abraham Accords—beautiful name, right? Nobody thought it was possible. They said, "Sir, the conflict is too complicated, it's been going on for thousands of years." I said, "That's because you're not talking to the right people." I talked to them. We made deals. Great deals. And now they’re friends. They’re doing business together. It’s beautiful.

Same issue as immediate previous post. Can/should an illegal/disgusting tactic used by opponent be escalated and returned such that it becomes universally recognized as inappropriate and falls out of favor?

Short answer: if physical violence is involved, no; if no physical violence is involved, maybe.

If Nobel Peace Prize is to be taken seriously it is certainly inappropriate to award it on speculation in advance of actual peace. And yet Peace Prize cannot be mocked more severely than by the Prize Committee itself.

Team Trump does seem on cusp of causing preference cascade against Left's intellectually disgusting often violent tactics.

narciso said...

Temujin said...

As has been stated, Obama received the award before he did anything. In essence, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for just showing up Black. A lot of people have shown up Black over the course of history, but Obama is the first to have the Nobel committee actually swoon before their vote. And so he was the first to receive the award for just showing up. And it didn't matter that the world blew up under his watch. Once given, it's not taken back. Kinda like the Pulitzer, another one whose actual stature is sinking well below its reputation.

Remember, they also gave one to Yasser Arafat, who never saw an intifada he couldn't start. He stole billions slated for the Palestinians, started wars, refused peace offers, got people killed, and yet, showed up smiling to accept his Nobel.

And one of my favorites, Rigoberta Menchu, whose life story in "I, Rigoberta Menchu" turned out to be mostly fabricated. Like Obama, she had the right essentials, in her case, gender, skin color, and the proper amount of 'activist fighting the man'.

What is my point? I'm not sure the Nobel Prize for Peace means much any more. It's not like the Prize for chemistry or physics. Or even literature, this year going out to someone who refuses to use periods.
As for Trump, he should receive it. He's getting done what no one else believed could get done. Even if for only a week. But it may be too early for an award. I'm happy that there is movement toward peace in the Gaza/Israel war, but my faith in Hamas being able to control itself or hold to any agreement is slight at best.

There is a sense of total retardation among the left here: they're defending the narcos like they're on retainer. From the NPP perspective it could be easily compared to Obama and drone strikes in the Middle East. So it doesn't even rise to the level of hypocrisy, the Rats are straight up working for America's Marxist enemies even when it's political suicide.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Inag said, "The Peace Prize for extra judicial killings of unknown people in boats in the Caribbean?"

So extra-judicial killing of American citizens with drones in Yemen by the CIA should be doubly-disqualifying. We don't agree often Inag, but I'm glad we agree that Obama's Nobel should be rescinded.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

The Nobel Peace Prize has all the value of a degree from Harvard.

The Peace Prize has a bit less than $22k of gold at current market values (priced at 24 carat, which it is not). Plus they get 11 million Swedish kroner, which is about $1 million US.

You can get a 100ct of professional grade parchment from Amazon (see link to the right) for $24.95. Plus, you can get it printed for as cheap as $0.24 at FedEx.

Bob Boyd - I like your idea of a WWE championship belt for the repurposed gold in the Nobel Medals. Someone should do an AI image.

John Mosby - I was unfamiliar with The Gold, but will check it out. It has Lord Grantham, so the wife might be interested.

“Let's see if HamaSS actually complies with the terms before patting anyone on the back.”
I’m patting everyone on the back.
1. There’s a chance the hostages and their long suffering families are finally going to have this horror come to an end. That’s a reason to be happy.
2. The more the people in Gaza cerebrate (and they are celebrating) and the more we celebrate, the more pressure there is on Hamas to follow through. We can’t jinx the deal by being happy. The people who are hard at work making this turn into reality are still going to be working hard to make this happen. Maybe it will happen and maybe it won’t but there’s nothing wrong and maybe a lot right in treating the possibility as a reality.

Yes! It is called, “The Nobel Prize”. Created by Alfred Nobel to improve his reputation.

Leora said...

The Nobel prize comes with a million dollars tax free this year. This is based on the earnings of the Nobel endowment. It's actually less this year than the year Obama won it.

Howard said...

You have got to be fucking kidding me. If Trump gets the Peace prize he will definitely accept it and then he will shit all over his enemies detractors etc etc during his acceptance speech in Oslo.

It's funny how you folks who love Trump so much truly understand so little about the man.

The argument is semantic. Few mourn his death. But if some commenters are going to use piss-poor examples for disqualification, then they're going to get piss-rich exemplars that justify goring their sacred cattle.

Yes.

It goes to mediocre halfwits who get the Nobel prize for being black and stop the oceans from rising while blowing up weddings and persecuting rodeo clowns that wear his face mask. Spying on his political opponents.

Selling guns to Mexican cartels was a great moment in self promotion.

Really you should stop being so stupid.

I predict Trump is going to get the Prize and he will temporarily put it in the crowded Oval Office.
Once the Ball Room is inaugurated, Trump will move the Prize to the Ball Room where it will catch the eye of an MMA fighter hard up for money.
The fighter will come back wearing a cleaning crew uniform and steal the Prize and try to sell it on eBay.
Don't ask, people do dumb shit all the time.
The fighter will be arrested, Patel will finally get a Photo-Op with somebody on the news, but, a day later Candace Owens will discover the fighter was really a Trump supporter. So, how could this be? A Trump supporter is stealing the much touted Trump Peace Prize? While moving the fighter to a much more secure prison, the vehicle transporting the fighter is struck by a school bus, killing the MMA fighter instantly. After the dust settles, questions begin to be asked on Social Media as how could this have happened? Why wasn't the MMA fighter secured in the vehicle, while the driver and the escorting officer were wearing their seatbelt?

I think the prize needs to be updated. Instead of having it in honor of the man who invented dynamite, we need to sponsor the Oppenheimer Peace prize. It should be awarded in Nagasaki.

Kakistocracy said...

The Nobel committee could thread this needle by awarding its first prize for a new category called "political corruption". The prize could be something like a steaming 💩 placed in a fast food container. For a sizable fee that goes to some genuine charitable cause, the recipient would have a chance to make a speech remotely via Zoom.

Oh for Pete’s sake. Most of you people think someone should get a Peace Prize for, you know, ending wars and causing peace. Where did you get that silly idea? Nobel Peace Prizes are awarded so that a roomful of Norwegian elitists can do virtue signaling. Nothing more.

Good one, the judge will grant a tro putting an award of the Nobel prize on hold pending resolution of potential charges of unjust self enrichment by making peace in the amount of 11 million kroner.

Steven said...

"There's a lot of talk" - This talk is all by Trump and his sycophants. He has zero chance of being seriously considered for a Nobel prize.

He has done nothing to end the Ukraine conflict. Putin is toying with him and I think even Trump is coming around to the realization that Putin was using negotiations as a way of hobbling Ukraine rather than having any sincere interest in ending the war.

Trump likes to make announcements about 'peace deals' between Israel and Palestine, but so far nothing has come of them. There was a supposed cease fire in February when the Palestinians were supposed to release all the hostages, but apparently they still have hostages. The American policy up to now has been to give Israel a blank check to do what it wants, and while that policy was flawed changing it now seems worse. Israel is on the cusp of resolving the Gaza issue for good. We can do nothing and just let them win, then there will be peace.

As others have pointed out, destroying venezuelan boats (which I think it's fine actually), deploying the national guard to American cities (very bad), and ICE rounding up gardeners (mostly bad) are also factors that will prevent Trump from getting a Nobel prize even if Ukraine and Israel were resolved.

The Peace Prize for starting a war in the Caribbean with multiple countries?

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c89dz920p0do

The Colombian president said that a "new war scenario has opened up: the Caribbean".
Petro added that "indications show that the last boat bombed was Colombian with Colombian citizens inside it.
"I hope their families come forward and report it. There is no war against smuggling; there is a war for oil and it must be stopped by the world. The aggression is against all of Latin America and the Caribbean."

There is not a change in the world that President Trump will get the Nobel Peace Prize. He is not 'their kind of guy'. Globalists are willfully ignorant of the workings of the real world.

Steven (Original) said...

Of course we will all know in a few days, but I suspect Trump will not receive it this year. One argument in favor of Trump is that awarding the Nobel Peace Prize now makes it harder for Hamas to violate the agreement without international condemnation. But I think the committee will overlook that on the grounds that they don't know if the agreement will hold but that with any luck it will fall apart before they have to award him the prize next year.

John Henry said...

I don't think he should refuse it.

A better response would be to just email the committee saying something like "thanks guys. Appreciated, pleas FedEx to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC"

The Peace Prize to a US president who threatens to jail a US city’s Mayor and a US state’s Governor?

Yes. And? What else are we supposed to do with people who are actually committing insurrection?

A real insurrection. Not that fake shit on January 6.

The President is responsible for protecting federal facilities and employees. Period.

If you don't like it and look to thwart that to the point of armed activity in response? It's insurrection.

If your stupid, little thugs would simply stop attacking those facilities and employees, everybody could go home.
