He is threatening to retaliate if denied the Nobel prize?

[question everything]

According to Reuters, (Finance Minister) Stoltenberg was walking down a street in Oslo when the unexpected call came through. Out of the blue, Trump launched into a discussion about trade and tariffs before shifting to a more personal request. He told the finance minister that he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, an accolade awarded by Norway that has previously gone to four U.S. presidents. Trump has had a long-standing fascination with the award and believes that he has earned it through his foreign policy achievements.

I just read about how stopping USAID is killing children in Africa.

The abrupt freeze of billions in U.S. foreign aid has fractured decades of global health and development work. Programs for HIV, malaria, and maternal health have stalled, tens of thousands of skilled professionals lost jobs, and U.S. nonprofits cut deeply into their staff.

The impact reaches beyond vulnerable communities to U.S. influence, security, and American livelihoods.

I hope that someone will alert the Nobel committee that such actions are not worthy of any prize

[VMA131Marine]

1. Trump has no chance at the Nobel Peace Prize

Zip, Nada, Nil.

His only way to get a prize would be to start his own and make it so that he wins … just like with the golf tournaments he hosts.

[Mr. Evil]

42. I think it would be apropos if

Greta Thunberg was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. That would really bust his gut.

[johnnyplankton]

90. Or Biden

[Mr. Evil]

93. That would also

rankle his cankles!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

116. Joe Biden did MORE for World Peace than TACO has done.

As well as tranquility within this country.

[popsdenver]

98. Great idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine was just awarded a large gold medallion Nobel Peace Award for his work with the Hague and U.N........

Surely the Nobel Peace folks can send her one of those at least.............

[homegirl]

46. Based on twenty years residency in

Scandinavia I can definitively comment that Donald Trump will NEVER receive a Nobel Peace, or any Prize.

[SeattleVet]

67. If he creates his own version to award to himself I already have a name for it!

"The No-Balls Piss Prize"

[question everything]

85. Clever

[UpInArms]

2. Nice prize ya got there ....

Be a shame if something happened to your country …

[leftstreet]

3. LOL

[Irish_Dem]

4. Trump is quite capable of harming anyone who does not give him what he wants.

[BidenRocks]

25. Simply put,

That makes him a terrorist.

Given his penchant for destruction, right there with al Queda and Hamas with a side of McVeigh and Kaczinski thrown in.

DHS was created to stop terrorists.

Speak up Bush! This was YOUR onerous idea!

[KS Toronado]

45. Bush will not speak up against dumpie

until the tide turns against him. When the majority of elected Rs start saying NO to
dumpie, only then will Bush speak up. Bush is scared of how dumpie would retaliate
against him.

[Shipwack]

68. I think Bush has his own dementia issues...

Not to be mean or anything (as justified as it may be), but I have a suspicion that he checked out a while ago.

[Irish_Dem]

73. Bush is a long time serious alcoholic, also cocaine abuser.

I think he has had alcohol related dementia now for some time.

[Skittles]

105. I had that same thought while he was still president

[ShazzieB]

109. I know what you mean.

I haven't been paying close attention, but I know that rumor has been making the rounds for a while, and it wouldn't surprise me if it's true.

[Celerity]

71. +1 million

[kimbutgar]

5. He's so jealous President Obama and VP Gore have received one

The only award he should get is condemnation by The Hague for crimes against against humanity,

[malaise]

44. Lie to him the way he lies to everyone on the planet

Let him show up for the award and arrest him for war crimes against those dead Venezuelan fishermen.

[KS Toronado]

48. Love your idea!

Save us Norway since we can't seem to do it ourselves!

[malaise]

51. LOL

[Joinfortmill]

103. Oh, boy, that would be sooo sweet.

[BadgerMom]

94. And Carter, too, of course.

[Hotler]

6. Just tell him no. It'll never happen to a person with 34 convictions, 2 impeachments and a rape charge. nt

[tblue37]

53. A rape conviction, not just a charge.

[lostincalifornia]

7. That should immediately disqualify him. He can't do anything without cheating or

threatening.

[-misanthroptimist]

8. Trump is the weakest man who ever lived. Period.

I still can't believe he's real. If he were a fictional character, I'd think the author went way over the line in creating an insecure villain.

Trump wants to be admired...but doesn't want to do the hard work and self-discipline necessary to be admired. But he'll be happy with the mere trappings of accomplishment.

[niyad]

18. If he and his reign of terror had been submitted as a book proposal

in fiction, no publisher would have even considered it, except perhaps in the science fantasy genre set on another world. Fiction has to bear some relation to plausible reality.

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. Friday, October 10: This years Nobel Peace Prize winner is announced.

Saturday, October 11: Lord Pissypants announces new 5000% tariffs against all Scandinavian countries.

[popsdenver]

32. Actually

Lord "Poopy Pants" which anyone forced to be near him, can attest to.......

[usonian]

10. Breaking News; Nobel Pizza Prize Awarded

Created by a paisano, so no ethnic slur.
And I like anchovy pizza,
So I can have it all to myself!

Buon Giorno!

[BamaRefugee]

14. I ALWAYS have anchovies on my pizza 😋

And I'm Scottish.
People don't know what they're missing out on. Those who've been to Italy and think the food is so good don't realize how many things have anchovies in ithem, which gives it that Italian umami.

[BidenRocks]

26. You may have mine.

Along with avocados and raw tomatoes.

[3Hotdogs]

34. Those little fishy things are wonderful.

[GiqueCee]

60. I LOVE anchovies on my pizza!

I'll even eat 'em right out of the tin.

[tavernier]

70. I wonder if all those people who use Worcestershire sauce realize

that it contains anchovies.

[question everything]

87. Interesting. Did not know that.. Really does not matter

[BamaRefugee]

110. Yep!

[ananda]

11. Regarding "peace" ... no way is the USA a peaceful nation now.

The attacks on boats from Venezuela alone,
notwithstanding the attacks on our own people,
make Trump deserving of nothing but contempt
and impeachment.

[popsdenver]

30. No peaceful nation

Renames the Dept. of Defense............the Dept. of War...............

I can hardly wait until Trump encounters the situation that Putin currently faces.........Putin cannot go to a number of countries without being arrested and sent to the Hague for crimes against humanity, as well as criminal acts covered under the Geneva Convention...........

One violation in particular was when Putin supplied outlawed chemical weapons, for his bestest buddy Asad in Syria, to drop on Syria towns.................killing every baby, child, women and men in entire towns........giving them all a horrific death from the chemicals.......(The Hague and U.N. investigated this, and has un-disputable evidence.....)

[Vinca]

12. He'll probably order the bombing of Oslo.

[CTyankee]

66. You beat me to it! I had the same thought.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

108. "Give me the Nobel Peace Prize or I'll start a war!"

[PSPS]

13. He'll send the national guard to Norway.

[Yonnie3]

15. Give him the No Bell Piece Prize

If it is huge and gold he'll not notice.

[genxlib]

16. What Trump fails to understand

Is that the Peace Prize is rarely about stopping a war.

The vast majority of the time, it is about humanitarian efforts and human rights.

For every Kissenger there are about five Mother Theresa types.

He will never understand the distinction which is why he is fundamentally ineligible.

[niyad]

19. Or Wangari Maathai, who, unlike mother theresa, did not associate with

scum like charles keating, so far as I recall.

[cojoel]

17. The prize is not awarded by the government of Norway

The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which is responsible for selecting the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, is appointed by the Storting (the Norwegian Parliament), but operates independently from the Government. Committee members are selected for six year terms.

Trump is barking up the wrong tree (which is often the case with Trump).

[question everything]

24. Why? Here whatever I say they comply regardless of who appointed them

[BattleRow]

62. They need a no bull committee to decide the Nobel prize.

[edbermac]

20. Trump would kill for a Nobel Peace prize

Literally.

[lastlib]

33. He has.

By cutting off aid to UN refugee programs, and supporting the blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza, thousands of innocent war victims have surely died. Same with USAID to African nations in need.

[Justice matters.]

21. Scammer pedofelon wants the million that comes with it.

For free.

Enough is never enough.

If he doesn't get it, he'll order another fishing boat murderous blast.

[Trust_Reality]

38. Enough is never enough. I call it malignant greed.

[IbogaProject]

22. Easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle

To quote a book he and his followers like to wave around while breaching all of its ethical suggestions.

[Fil1957]

23. Trump thinks that if he gets the Nobel Peace Prize, God will let him into heaven after he dies. That's why he's so

obsessed about it. According to him, no prize equals no afterlife.

[Trust_Reality]

36. So, he is trying to position himself to negotiate with god?

His brain functions in a most astonishing manner.

[Permanut]

106. Mango Mussolini has his eternal life all in order..

He'll be spending it with Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell and other "Christians" who died rich.

[vanlassie]

111. So, Oct 10, his dream dies?

💃🕺🏽💃🕺🏽💃🕺🏽

[swong19104]

27. Norway should invite him over

then stick his ass in the same prison as Andrrs Brevik. Brevik killed about 110 people. Dumpf has killed well over several million.

[Ocelot II]

41. Norwegian prisons are pretty nice, as prisons go.

Leavenworth would be a better fit. Or maybe CECOT in El Salvador.

[Turbineguy]

28. Norwegians won't like having

RWNJ's blowing up peoples' houses.

[Nasruddin]

29. Make him a new prize

He has to match Obama, but even better if he exceeds him.
So create a new prize, something like Nobel World Citizen, tell him it's beyond all the other prizes, and award it to him.
As long as he remains in power.

Just keep awarding it year after year until he's no longer relevant, then discontinue.

[Nasruddin]

31. Another strategy

Award the Nobel Peace Prize to Stephen Miller.
The fallout from this will definitely increase world peace.

[FakeNoose]

59. He's already won the only "Prize" he'll ever get

[COL Mustard]

76. Name it the Hillary Clinton Prize

TSF would never accept that.

[Trust_Reality]

35. Request, extort, negotiate for a Peace Prize?

I am trying to imagine if there are any words in any language sufficient to characterize that behavior.

[GoodRaisin]

37. His deeds are the embodiment of anti-peace.

[PCIntern]

39. Leaked:

Joint prize awarded to Clinton, Obama, and Biden. Special Honorary mention to Kamala Harris.

[Trueblue1968]

40. I will give him a prize when he dies ..... I will pee on his grave.

[Ocelot II]

43. The Nobel Committee doesn't like influence campaigns.

Donald Trump’s open pining for a Nobel Peace Prize may actually damage the president’s chances of ever being awarded the prestigious honor and the $1 million that comes with it.

While not mentioning the president by name, Asle Toje, deputy leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, said that “influence campaigns” are more likely to have “a negative effect than a positive one” when the panel decides who gets the annual award.

“Some candidates push for it really hard and we do not like it,” Toje told Reuters. “We are used to work in a locked room without being attempted to be influenced. It is hard enough as it is to reach an agreement among ourselves, without having more people trying to influence us.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/nobel-committee-member-really-bad-143458748.html

[3catwoman3]

47. I said in a couple of similar threads that the only prize he is worthy of...

...is the (Ig)Noble Piece Of Shit prize.

He is such an embarrassment to the US, and to the human race in general.

[calimary]

82. That'd fit!

He’s trying to force being “chosen” for what may be the most prestigious award imaginable.

How pathetic is that? Calling one of the key people to “place an order”.

He’s the LAST person on this planet to be even ON the same planet with the rest of humanity.

[applegrove]

49. Here, here!

[jeffreyi]

50. Send in the National Guard! Sweden is burning up, fires everywhere!

[Ocelot II]

52. The Peace Prize is awarded from Norway, not Sweden.

[durablend]

75. Doesn't matter

Two countries on fire (well...three....) will put a bigger smile on his face

[eppur_se_muova]

86. Hey, we didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor ! We're not giving up now ! nt

[love_katz]

96. I see what you did there.

DUzy!

[jeffreyi]

91. Oopsie.

Guess that's why I never got one. And t***p won't, either.

[Mr.WeRP]

54. Honestly, The Nobel committee should give him one

Make one drawn on paper in Sharpie marker along with a Trump Coin made out of lead with “1 million Trump dollars” written on it.

Then when he is given this award and asked to come up to receive it, everyone talks baby talk to him in congratulations…

“Look evweewon! Teump finaweee got his wewaaard. Yaaaay!”

And then immediately turn off his mic as everyone laughs at him.

[North Coast Lawyer]

55. Senile Gangster

Trump is nothing but a deluded senile geriatric gangster brazenly trying to shake down those he perceives as opponents. With each passing day the United States becomes more of a laughing stock.

[Mblaze]

56. The Ig-Nobel is available.

[GopherGal]

84. He missed out in 2025...

but already holds one from 2020:

Medical Education: Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, Narendra Modi of India, Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Donald Trump of the United States, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan, for using the COVID-19 viral pandemic to teach the world that politicians can have a more immediate effect on life and death than scientists and doctors can. The announcement noted that this is the second time Lukashenko won the prize (the first time was in 2013).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners]

The 2025 Peace Prize Winner (awarded 18 Sep 2025):

Peace: Fritz Renner, Inge Kersbergen, Matt Field, and Jessica Werthmann, for "showing that drinking alcohol sometimes improves a person's ability to speak in a foreign language".

But also we can't rule out that he may have been involved in this 2025 Ig-Nobel-winning study:

Psychology: Marcin Zajenkowski and Gilles Gignac, for "investigating what happens when you tell narcissists — or anyone else — that they are intelligent"

[Ms. Toad]

57. Old news.

This came out about a month ago when he was trying to extort a prize in exchange for favorable tariffs.

[GiqueCee]

58. Might be worthy...

... of a booby prize in recognition of his insufferable narcissism, or maybe his staggering stupidity. Then, of course, there's his world record for mendacity... oh, the list goes on, and on, and on, and... I need a drink.

[Wicked Blue]

61. What's he going to do, bomb Norway?

Now THAT'S a nice, peaceful solution.

[OMGWTF]

63. I'm sure that attacking one's own people and murdering random Venezuelan fishermen is disqualifying.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

64. The Nobel committee loves killing suspected drug runners in international waters without due process.

Link to tweet

[Joinfortmill]

104. What he's gonna get is surprise from the Hague.

[bluestateboomer]

65. If he promises to exile himself to somewhere like St. Helena....

Then he'd deserve the prize.

[GreenWave]

69. He should apply for the Noble Piece of Shit Prize. (eom)

[patphil]

72. He could probably win the Ignoble POS prize. But, a peace prize for a guy who calls out troups to attack his own people

That's not going to get a Nobel Prize.

[Zackzzzz]

74. He wished for a Purple Heart

and now he has a drawer full.

That worked.

Maybe he will be 'gifted' a Nobel Prize.

[Scalded Nun]

77. The only way he gets that prize if the decision goes to SCOTUS!

[LonePirate]

78. George Soros, MacKenzie Scott, Bill & Melinda Gates or the Clinton Foundation would be worthy US recipients.

Perhaps a posthumous award to Jimmy Carter for his work to eliminate the guinea worm.

[question everything]

88. Jimmy Carter won in 2000. Another thorn in his side

Prize motivation: “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development”

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2002/carter/facts/

[Bluetus]

79. "Give me the PEACE prize or else I'm going to kill somebody -- maybe a lot of people."

[Beowulf42]

80. Nope!

He does not deserve a Nobel Prize. Being a man of peace is not in his repertoire.

[Frasier Balzov]

81. And Greenland from the Danes.

[eppur_se_muova]

83. Well, I've heard from *multiple* *highly placed* sources that PUTIN was the lone holdout vote who blocked it !

"Putin blockerar Trumps nominering till världens högsta utmärkelse" .... oooops, now I've lost that highly secure email. Sometimes that happens.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that AS LONG AS PUTIN IS ALIVE, Turnip will never win the Nobel Prize in any catagory. If you don't believe me, check with any source in US government you know.

I've done multiple online searches on this, and they all seem to be *suspiciously* blocked -- even Snopes is in on it !

[electric_blue68]

89. Trumphf Deserves Nothing But JAIL Time!

: orangejumpsuit: 👍

[Clouds Passing]

92. Don't cave Nobel Committee!

[ThoughtCriminal]

95. If there was an anti-peace prize

He would win it. If it was made of gold, he would accept it.

[B.See]

97. Well, he's successfully threatened or EXTORTED

just about everyone else So why stop at Norway?

[Aussie105]

99. There is one award I'd like Trump to get.

The Darwin award.

"The Darwin Awards honor individuals who contribute to human evolution by removing themselves from the gene pool through their own foolish actions, often resulting in death or sterilization."

We can stretch the reasons why, can't we?
Posthumous, of course!

[Ocelot II]

118. Unfortunately he's already polluted the gene pool with Eric and Don Jr.,

who have also reproduced. The bloodline will survive, I'm afraid.

[AdamGG]

100. The Hague will probablty be awarding him something before long

Hope he stops by to pick it up.

[Klarkashton]

101. Go ahead and retaliate. Try and fuck up the whole world

You lousy felon bastard. Try ALL your shit.
This govt is dead. You are nothing.

[Joinfortmill]

102. Ha! He'll get that when hell freezes over.

[C Moon]

107. The last 4 presidents, so W got one? Wow.

[Ocelot II]

117. Not the last 4 - Presidents who got them are T. Roosevelt, Wilson, Carter, and Obama.

VPs Charles Dawes and Al Gore also got awards. Carter got his long after his presidency for work with the Carter Center.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

112. "Gimme the Peace Prize or I'll bomb you all."

[flying-skeleton]

113. If the Orange Buffoon is ever....

If the Orange Buffoon is EVER awarded the Nobel prize for anything, the Nobel prize will lose it's reputation FOREVER‼️

[ihaveaquestion]

114. There are lots of other prizes he could get...

List from the Ig Nobel Prize wikipedia article ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ig_Nobel_Prize#See_also

Golden Raspberry Awards – awards for bad movies
Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest – an award for bad writing
Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year – an award for books with unusual titles
Pigasus Award – exposing parapsychological, paranormal, or psychic frauds
Golden Fleece Award – award for waste of government funds; often awarded for government-paid research considered frivolous or wasteful
Foot in Mouth Award – an award presented by the Plain English Campaign for "a baffling comment by a public figure"
"British scientists" – Russian joke regarding absurd news reports about scientific discoveries

[panfluteman]

115. What About the Nobel Piece of Sh*t Prize? Trump Truly Deserves That!

[NNadir]

119. Well, Hitler was once considered for the Prize after the Munich accords.

The Prize would be cheapened irretrievably if given to a violent, uneducated, racist thig.
