Donald Trump grins like a 5yo as he gets a second-hand Nobel Peace Prize, but the Nobel Committee soon wipes it off his face
Trump managed to even turn the Nobel Prize into a joke.
Donald Trump finally got his hands on a Nobel Peace Prize. Not his Nobel Peace Prize or the one awarded to him. But one he accepted anyway.
After meeting with Maria Corina Machado, Trump proudly told reporters that she had given him her Nobel Peace Prize. He kept repeating that claim with visible delight, as if the long obsession had finally been satisfied. “She gave me her Nobel Prize,” Trump said, smiling like a 5-year-old. He continued:
“She said, you know, you have ended eight wars, and nobody deserves this prize more than you do — in history. And I thought it was a very nice gesture.”
It was a performance Trump has rehearsed for years. Unfortunately for him, that’s not how the Nobel Peace Prize works. According to Trump, Machado personally offered him her medal as a symbolic acknowledgment of his supposed achievements. Trump said he was deeply impressed by her, praised her character, and described the exchange as an honor.
“I got to know her. I never met her before,” Trump said. “And I was very, very impressed. This is a fine woman.” Then came the grin that was captured by every camera in the White House. But the Nobel Prize Committee did not waste any time shutting his fake theater down.
The Nobel Prize Committee indirectly trolled Trump immediately
In a statement that could not be more explicit, the Committee reiterated its rule that has existed for over a century. A Nobel Prize cannot be revoked, shared, sold, transferred, or given away. Not ceremonially, symbolically, and definitely not for vibes. The prize belongs to the laureate. Period.
Machado remains the Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Trump remains a man holding something that does not belong to him. The Committee’s response did not name Trump directly, but it did not need to. The message was unmistakable. Whatever Trump thought he received, it wasn’t a Nobel Prize, and social media made sure that point went across.
“Nobel Committee doesn’t work like that, guy,” one wrote bluntly. “He guaranteed he’s never getting one now,” another commented at the absurdity of the exchange. Others pointed out Trump’s hilarious posture, writing, “He looks like a toddler clutching a stolen toy.” One cut even deeper into that point: “Our president is basically an 80-year-old Make-A-Wish kid.” Another added:
Look at his stupid face. He looks like a little kid who just got student of the week because he didn’t do poopies in his big boy underpants for 3 straight days.
Trump has spent years publicly complaining about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. He has repeatedly insisted he deserved it more than anyone, particularly Barack Obama. He has woven that grievance into NATO speeches, foreign policy rants, and personal vendettas. So when he finally stood next to Machado and accepted her prize like a consolation prize, it only felt desperate.
