Donald Trump was pissed because – again – he wasn’t even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize Last time They gave it to a young lady Who’s a fabulous person And she said she didn’t deserve it That I deserved it And She gave it to me And I said Wow What an honor. I settled eight wars, Another one is coming. I got all the hostages back. I did things that nobody else has ever done. I’m not bragging, I’m just telling you the facts. No president Probably Has settled any wars. I settled eight wars And big ones, Big ones. Saved millions and millions of lives And when Maria gave me that Nobel Prize She said Not only should he get it for this year But there’s never been anybody In the history of the Nobel Prize That deserves it more. I did. I settled eight wars And I’ve stopped maybe The Total Obliteration of the World. Because Iran will never have a nuclear weapon And that’s a Positive Thing, Very Positive Thing, And other presidents Should have done it Before me or Somebody should have done it. So I don’t know what their decision is going to be. They have a reputation for maybe Not giving it to people like me But I— Whether I get it or not I have done far more and I think it would be A great discredit to them And I’m not saying that out of scorn. I’m saying that When you settle eight wars And nobody’s ever— I’ll bet you if you look at the Nobel Prize— Look Obama got it And he didn’t do anything, He still doesn’t know What he got it for, He got it when He got elected Right at the beginning, And he had no idea Why he got it. Well in my case, I said I didn’t know that they’re doing it But you’re right It is about that time. But I was very honored To receive it indirectly last time By the recipient Who said Nobody in history Deserves it more than President Trump And since then we’ve done a lot. Since then I’ve settled, Think of it, Eight wars And got all the hostages back And stopped a lot of wars from happening By using the powers of tariffs And lots of other things As a threat against Certain Countries So that they did not Partake in killing people. > **[Trump’s latest Nobel Peace Prize rant shows how far gone he is](https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/10/8/800109437/whitehouse/trumps-latest-nobel-peace-prize-rant-shows-how-far-gone-he-is/)** > > It’s true that we’re all sick of President Donald Trump. Also true: It’s dangerous to ignore him. ---

I haven’t heard his response to not receiving the prize but he shared a post by someone else making his case. > RT @Schoenlaw Today the Nobel Committee shamed itself beyond repair and demeaned the once great Nobel Peace Prize by giving it to the UN’s Navi Pillay. Pillay is an unabashed hater of America and Israel. In her position she celebrated terrorists and rewarded Hamas. She conducted a phony “investigation” claiming to find that Israel committed genocide and urging prosecution. She has no credibility in any normal sphere and has never done a thing to foster peace. Just the opposite. But what could be expected from a committee that previously gave the once coveted peace prize to Yasser Arafat? > President Trump gave us the Abraham Accords, which the world said would be impossible and is now expanding them! He brought home the hostages when all seemed hopeless! He is making best efforts to end the Russia/Ukraine war, to stop Iran, the number one sponsor of international terrorism, and he is trying to rebuild Gaza despite the terrorists’ best efforts to control it. The list goes on and on. These are the kinds of things the Nobel Peace Prize was intended to recognize and reward!!! @realDonaldTrump Again, these are _not_ the words of Donald Trump but apparently ones with which he agrees. ---

Exactly how many wars would you say you settled, Mr. President? ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > I settled eight wars, > Another one is coming. Uh, what the frickin’ what now? Ok, I looked it up. I first read it as the barely articulate madman saying “another war is coming” but he apparently meant “another war settlement is coming”. What a relief! He always says what he means and means what he says. ---
