Trump dropped another self-glorifying rant about the Nobel Peace Prize but he can’t even spell it correctly
Trump can neither let go of, nor spell the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Donald Trump is back with his “I ended eight wars and saved millions of lives” rant. This time, he asserted that he doesn’t care about the Nobel Peace Prize. Or, the “Noble” Peace Prize, as he spells it.
On January 7, Trump logged onto Truth Social to again rewrite world history and crown himself its hero. He positioned himself as the ultimate savior of NATO and claimed to have “single-handedly” ended eight wars. “For all of those big NATO fans, they were at 2% GDP,” he wrote. “Most weren’t paying their bills, UNTIL I CAME ALONG.” At this point, we have all figured out the prompt he gives to ChatGPT. NATO bad, Trump good… or god.
The post sounded familiar. It was a mix of his most bizarre claims to prove himself an irreplaceable world leader. In short, he called NATO freeloaders and praised America for footing the bills. He also glorified his arrival in politics, almost making himself sound like an overpowered Marvel character. “Without my involvement, Russia would have ALL OF UKRAINE right now,” he claimed.
Then came the grievance part. According to Trump, Norway is “foolish” for refusing to give him the “Noble Peace Prize.” Not Nobel. “Noble.” For someone so obsessed with dreams of flaunting the prize, he sure has done no homework on it. This serves to prove how he only sees the prize as a possession to brag about. The narcissistic king has no interest in its meaning.
Trump only wants the Nobel Peace Prize because of Obama
Funnily enough, Trump has obsessed over the Nobel Peace Prize since his first term. Yet, he still couldn’t be bothered to spell the prize correctly. He only wants the prize because Barack Obama got it. And that fact has lodged itself deep enough that it now resurfaces in unrelated rants.
Trump essentially turned the Nobel grievance into a broader complaint about alliance loyalty. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a Norwegian committee, so Trump singled out Norway specifically. In his logic, Norway is a NATO member, and because he saved NATO, they should unquestionably award him.
But neither did he really save NATO, nor does that make Norway compelled to give him the Peace Prize. Trump also simultaneously mentioned that not getting the award doesn’t matter to him. But if it really didn’t, he wouldn’t be writing all of that.
On X, users didn’t hold back and laid it all on Trump. One wrote, “How can you be this petty and childish at 80 years old?” Another bluntly asked him to “Move on” from his Nobel dreams. One even sarcastically called him a “Master speller.” But the best one yet, one user asked, “Isn’t he satisfied with the FIFA World Cup Nobel Peace Prize yet?”
But Trump doesn’t just want credit. He wants the kind of credit that comes with a gold medallion, international prestige, and permanent inscription into history. Sadly, for the president, Trump can’t force, sue for, and shout his Nobel dreams into existence.
