Head of Nobel Peace Prize tries to justify not honoring Trump with award

 NY Post   

  1. They can't stand Trump.

  2. They can't deal with the fact that Trump uses business tactics rather than diplomacy. And it works, which hurts their sensibilities.

  3. They aren't interested in actual peace. They prefer activism over meaningful dialogue.

  4. They hate Trump. Did I mention that already?


"Not Nobel enough?

"The head of the Nobel Peace Prize tried to justify not giving the award to President Trump early Friday — subtly suggesting the commander-in-chief was not worthy of the illustrious award despite his historic breakthroughs seeking the end of the Israel-Hamas war.

"Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes was asked about the clamor to give the prize to Trump, who had said it would be an insult to the US not to award it to him.

"However, the deadline for nominations was Jan. 31 — just days into Trump’s second term in office — meaning all nominations Trump has earned this year for settling conflicts across the world are for the 2026 prize.

"Still, instead of pointing out the timing, Frydnes suggested that a last-minute switch wasn’t made because the US leader doesn’t live up to it.

“ 'In the long history of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think this committee has seen many types of campaign, media attention,” Frydnes said, without naming Trump.

“We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what, for them, leads to peace." . . .

The Nobel Peace Prize hits rock bottom  . . . "As for Barack Obama, he was given the Nobel Peace Prize simply for being black, which resulted in hilarity in the United States and elsewhere (the Nobel committee had apparently embraced DEI).

"Regardless, the one amusing result of anyone being awarded the peace prize is the recipient is bestowed with instant sainthood, with individuals sporting silly, simpering smiles suddenly making a pilgrimage to the recipient in order to bask in the sainthood’s aura.

"So, anyway, why was Trump passed over? Simply put, because the pseudo-elites despise him due to the fact that Western European politicians are largely leftists who are engaging in censorship, jailing political prisoners, encouraging illegal immigration of criminals and suppressing their own citizens, and Donald Trump personifies the opposite values, and he is an inspiration to those people trying to throw off the elitists’ yoke.

"It is that simple." . . .

Gazans join Israelis in chanting Trump’s name over cease-fire: ‘Nobel Prize to Trump!’   Were these the Gazans who laughed and cheered as they watched the Hamas Go-Pro videos of the invasion and murders on Oct 7th?

Putin eviscerates Nobel committee for passing over Trump   "Perhaps the self-imagined elites sitting on the Norwegian Nobel Committee have lost the plot when Europe’s most hated man understands peace better than they do: . . ."

Perhaps they didn't like that Trump asked for it. TD

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado Dedicates Award To Donald Trump   . . . "A statement from Machado said she dedicates the prize “to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump.”  Trump showed support for Machado in January for “peacefully expressing the voices and the WILL of the Venezuelan people with hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating against the regime.”

Wait till we know Hamas won't renege just to embarrass Trump. Wisely the hostages will come first. And to the Democrats - whom I say would celebrate Trump's failure in this - we must say the best revenge is living well. TD
