Title Donald Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize Dream Crushed—For Now Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Newsweek Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 10/10/25 Description Dafydd Townley, an American politics expert at the University of Portsmouth, told Newsweek: "Trump believes that he has done enough to be awarded the prize, but his recent claim in the U.N. that he had been responsible for stopping seven conflicts is tenuous, at best, and downright unbelievable at its worst. Of course, Trump is eager to receive the award because his predecessor, Barack Obama, was honored with it in 2009.
Ever the narcissist, Trump has no claim to being the greatest President ever, which he himself believes, if he cannot match Obama's record. Of course, should the US-led ceasefire in Gaza develop into a peace treaty and a renegotiated settlement, then he may have a claim in 2026. However, the award panel would undoubtedly have to consider whether a President who is deploying troops onto the streets of his nation's cities to crack down on political opponents is genuinely worthy of the award."Producer/Author James Bickerton URL https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-nobel-peace-prize-dream-crushed-10858064 Persons Dafydd Townley
