“TRUMP’S NOBEL SNUB: 10 REASONS HE DIDN’T GET THE PEACE PRIZE”
GREATRIBUNETVNEWS–THE Nobel Committee’s decision to deny Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize has sparked intense debate. Despite Trump’s diplomatic efforts, his divisive policies and contradictory actions made him an unlikely candidate.
Trump sees the Nobel as a vindication — a mirror that reflects his greatness back to the world. But the Nobel isn’t a mirror. It’s a moral compass. And as long as his politics point in the opposite direction, it will remain the one prize he cannot win.
Here are 10 reasons why Trump didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize :
– 1. Overt Campaigning: Trump’s aggressive lobbying and public pressure on the Nobel Committee likely sealed his fate. The Committee prefers understated leadership and moral gravitas, not bombast and grievance.
– 2. Contradictory Foreign Policy: Trump’s decisions, such as quitting the Iran nuclear deal and escalating tensions with China and North Korea, deepened instability and conflict, contradicting the Nobel Committee’s values.
– 3. Lack of Moral Gravitas: Trump’s habit of calling the prize “rigged” and belittling the process made it impossible for the Committee to consider him seriously. The Nobel doesn’t bend to tantrums.
– 4. “America First” Ethos: Trump’s nationalist and divisive politics clash with the Nobel Committee’s values of cooperation, empathy, and shared humanity.
– 5. Undermining Global Order: Trump’s actions weakened multilateral institutions, insulted allies, and emboldened autocrats, running counter to the Nobel Committee’s vision.
– 6. Self-Promotion: Trump’s fixation on surpassing Obama’s 2009 Nobel win defined his pursuit, making him appear petty and vindictive.
– 7. Stronger Candidates*: Venezuelan dissident María Corina Machado embodied the perseverance and courage the Nobel seeks, making Trump’s self-promotion look shallow.
– 8. Style Violated Nobel’s Unwritten Code*: Trump’s bombast and grievance contradict the Nobel’s values of moral gravitas and understated leadership.
– 9. Fear of Another “Kissinger Moment”*: The Committee fears awarding Trump would be seen as a mistake, given his divisive policies and actions.
– 10. Nobel Values: The Prize honors those who advance fraternity among nations, not individuals who undermine it. Trump’s record of disruption and division makes him ineligible.
