Trump wants the medal. Not the applause. Not the headline. The medal. He posted it six times in one Truth Social rant. Congo and Rwanda. Serbia and Kosovo. Egypt and Ethiopia. India and Pakistan. He says his administration brokered peace in all of them. He says the Nobel committee will never acknowledge it. He says the people know.
The post came hours after U.S. strikes hit Iranian nuclear sites. Fordow and Natanz were targeted. Tehran is threatening retaliation. Oil markets are frozen until Monday. Trump is talking about peace.
He wrote, “This is a Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World.” He said he won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for it. Then he listed more. The Abraham Accords. The India-Pakistan ceasefire. The Egypt-Ethiopia water deal. He said he helped prevent war in Ukraine. He said he’s trying to stop one between Israel and Iran. He said the Nobel committee won’t care. He said that’s fine. He said the people know.
Pakistan’s government says it will nominate him for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. They cited his “decisive diplomatic intervention” during the Kashmir crisis. India disagrees. Prime Minister Modi told Trump directly that the ceasefire was the result of bilateral talks. No U.S. involvement. No mediation. No credit.
The Nobel committee doesn’t confirm nominations. They don’t explain decisions. Trump knows that. He’s said it before. But this time, he said it louder. He said it six times in one post.
Inside the West Wing, Stephen Miller is running the second-term playbook. Staff say he’s everywhere. Immigration. Trade. Foreign policy. Even the Nobel push. Congressional aides say the calls don’t stop. The pressure doesn’t ease. The message is clear. Trump wants the win.
The critics are loud. The headlines are louder. But Trump isn’t backing off. He says the record is there. He says the prize doesn’t matter. He says the people know.
