In fact, that’s probably exactly where they will get whatever doodad they give him. They could just seize the one belonging to the Kissinger estate. ---

Trump today received Egypt’s highest decoration: [Collar of the Nile](https://www.presidency.eg/en/%D9%82%D8%B3%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1/%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%B1%D8%A6%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9/news13102025/) 50-50 that Trump claims this is bigger than the Nobel at his next rally. If President El-Sisi wants to stay on Trump’s good side, he could try saying it is the same award Cleopatra bestowed on Mark Antony. I don’t see a way to prove that wrong. ---

Nobel Prize nominations are accepted starting in September of the previous year, and end on January 31 of the awarding year. Thus - any current Trump nominations would be for the 2026 prize. ---

> [@Mark\_Finn](#): > > Thus - any current Trump nominations would be for the 2026 prize. Yes, and that also means that the nomination they were considering for Trump could only tout whatever he had accomplished by January of this year; in other words, the final date of the nomination would have included _at most_ the first 11 days of his presidency. In all likelihood, either it was submitted before his inauguration, or (most likely) there was no nomination sent in for this year, and whatever nominations people have claimed to have sent in would only apply to next year’s prize. We all know he has no chance of winning either way. Even if he accomplishes something miraculous between now and next January, it has to be weighed against everything he has done to destabilize world peace since he took office. ---

Right, @Kent_Clark. He may possess the medal that he was gifted. But he was not awarded it by the Nobel authorities. There’s a difference. Not that he cares, of course. As far as he’s concerned, he’s got a Nobel Prize. ---
