The White House on Friday criticized the Nobel Prize committee's decision to grant the peace prize to a Venezuelan opposition leader instead of U.S. President Donald Trump, who aggressively lobbied for the award and touted his role in brokering international ceasefire deals.

"President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. He 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," White House spokesman Steven Cheung said in a post on X.

"The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace."

The Norwegian Nobel Committee granted the annual award to Venezuela's Maria Corina Machado, citing "courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist" authoritarian leadership.

Deported random people to other country’s inhumane prisons
Yelled at the entire UN
Tried to eliminate people’s healthcare
Wiped out whole industries in agriculture with stupid tariffs
Sided with the instigator of a genocide

Etc.

Humanitarians
don't underplay disease
don't underplay preventative medicine
don't seek to eliminate medical insurance
don't disrupt trade policies and supply lines
don't cancel food meant for starving people, and then burn it
don't blow up small boats using the most powerful weapons in the world
don't send their countries' troops into cities because the majority of the city didn't vote for them
don't target POC for assault, kidnapping and detention in inhuman conditions
aren't felons, traitors, criminals, rapists, cheats and liars.
