The committee chose to focus on Venezuela in a year where U.S. President Donald Trump featured heavily in speculation as to the overall winner, given his unceasing efforts to bring peace to a variety of conflicts around the world.
Trump said previously it would be an “insult” to the United States if he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize and he has been backed in his quest by a host of other nations, as Breitbart News reported.
“She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela, and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,”

Doesn't surprise me at all. Nobel committee are a bunch of leftists. When Christ returns to exert his dominion, they'll snub him, too.

The Nobel Committee's excuse will be that Trump was nominated past the deadline for submission for consideration or what he did occurred after the deadline. They will say he can be nominated for next year's prize but will then use the excuse that what he did occurred in the past and shouldn't be considered. This is the same group that awarded Obama the prize for nothing .TDS rules the Nobel Committee.

After all the things President Trump has done for peace, it should be called the Trump Peace Prize.

This only shows this award is junk. If I remember correctly, Obama got one for what.....he was black. Obama did nothing for peace.

The whole idea was to insult Trump. Euroweenies hate him for his success. Not a valid prize any more since it went to a Kenyan communist for his "potential" which was never realized.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which consists of five members. As of 2025, the committee members are Jørgen Watne Frydnes (Chair), Asle Toje (Vice Chair), Anne Enger, Kristin Clemet, and Gry Larsen. They prove once again that they are not about peace, only politics.

Except for medicine, Nobel prizes are meaningless. Of course, they won't honor Trump. They never would. Worthless Norwegians.

if nomination deadline was 1/31, why the drumbeat for him when he had just arrived in DC, yet to make peace deals.

America's affluence, liberty, unmatched influence in world affairs has always been a thorn in the side of Europeans. They said they gave it to 0bama because they saw his potential. To do harm to America. And they were right. Trump is systematically undoing that harm and restoring American influence. The Nobel Committee will loath that more than the Democrats. No surprises here.

Trump received nominations for the Peace Prize in time for Last Year’s prize, not this year’s, so he really has not been snubbed by the Nobel Prize committee. At least, not with regard to all that he has done so far in his second term. Let’s wait and see what the committee does next year. I expect they will be unable to get past TDS and will ignore any nominations to give Trump the peace prize.

Trump should wear the “snub” as a badge of honor. Arafat and 0bama received the peace prize and Krugman received the economics prize. That should tell everyone all they need to know about anything “Nobel”.

Honestly who cares about the Nobel peace Prize? Do you remember who won last year? The year before? Who was your high school prom king? It may be nice epitaph on your grave marker but beyond that its to satisfy egos. Like Trump needs that. Even taking into account his ego. Once they gave it to an unremarkable Kenyan with little significant impact on world politics it rendered this "prestigious" award to the equivalent of a third grade soccer participation trophy found in millions of damp cardboard boxes in mom and dads basement.

No surprise buy who cares?
They've given it Arafat, a life long terrorist. To Obama for literally doing nothing. To Al Gore for being a loser. To Jimmy Carter for encouraging Middle East terrorism by doing nothing about the Iranian hostages and making us look weak and vulnerable to savages. To Kofi Annan for being useless. And de Klerk for turning South Africa over to a gang of violent corrupt racists.
This is not a club anyone should want to be a member of.

Two days ago - - I parodied this Nobel nonsense by predicting that the award would go to a woke villager in Equatorial Guinea.
The actual award is not much different from my parody. "Anyone But Trump" is the basic motivation - - for the leftist slime who promote this useless "award."

Why would Trump want a prize held by Arafat and Obama? This prize has been tarnished by previous recipients that are reprobates.

Good and righteous works are done because they are good and righteous not for the accolades that may come from doing them. This should always be be primary and these "awards" have become meaningless and political tools.

I would say there should be litigation to force them to remove the word "Peace" from their name as deceptive.
"AllBull Propaganda Prize" would not be a deceptive name.

This year's choice is a middle finger to the Maduro regime from an award committee normally friendly to leftists. It is bad news for Maduro and the international attention may provide a bit of protection to its recipient.

The prize has become irrelevant. This is just another political snub like giving it to BO instead of a more worthy recipient. It should be given only to outstanding STEM individuals anyway and leave the "peace" category out of it. That one will never be worth anything in the future.
Trump should just laugh it off and make a light, funny joke about it. Either that or just ignore it entirely. The committee is only cheapening any legitimacy that it ever had.

How many of those gold medallions have been given out over the decades for "Peace in the Middle east Efforts" that did NOT achieve actual peace? Or ones given for "Peace in other conflicts/regions" that was never achieved?
"Someone", not Trump himself, should demand that ALL of those be rescinded, returned, melted down, and the full WEIGHT of them cast into a larger medal, then given to Trump.(Demanding/doing this should not be initiated UNTIL actual Peace has existed for 1 full year)

It doesn't matter. My hope was that the Nobel committee would award it to Trump, then Trump would refuse to accept it and publicly state it was because the Committee rendered the prize absolutely worthless when they awarded it to Barack Hussein Obama for doing absolutely nothing other than be half black and winning an election.
And then look what he did.........the Nobel Committee should be embarrassed to show their faces.

It's o.k. Mr. President Trump. There awaits you a Heavenly Peace Prize in heaven when you get there. Everyone knows you deserve the prize, but the hatred of the Left and yes, even in Sweden, is so severe they can't even acknowledge a true Peace Maker!
Blessed are the PEACE MAKERS for they shall be called, Sons of God.

The Nobel Peace Prize has lost its prestige. It has about the same value as a "participation award" given to a grade school student.

It was awarded to Obama who did nothing to earn it which diminished its value. Trump deserves a better award than one that is defiled.

Hopefully the Templeton award is still out there. Trump should get that. More in line with actually constructive people. Mother Theresa got that award but never got a nod from the Nobel.

Okay. I never heard of an "application deadline" for the Nobel Peace Prize. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
So, President Trump should be getting the prize in 2026.
I will say the choice of the opposition leader in hiding in the Venezuela dictatorship is not a bad choice, either.

Remember that Norway gave us the word Quisling, meaning traitor that collaborates with the enemy. The Norwegians worked together with the Germans and shipped their Jews to the ovens of Poland. They have much National shame on their hands.
