In a fiery moment from the White House, President Donald Trump pulled no punches about Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize,
calling it one of the biggest political giveaways in modern history.
“Obama got a prize for doing absolutely nothing,” Trump said. “He hadn’t even been president long enough to know where the office was — and yet they handed him the Nobel.”
Back in 2009, Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize just eight months into his presidency, a move that shocked even liberal media outlets. The New York Times at the time admitted the award was “very premature,” questioning what, exactly, Obama had achieved.
Trump didn’t mince words:
“He got it for doing nothing — except destroying our country,” Trump said, adding that the decision exposed how far the global elite would go to prop up their favorites.

Trump’s Record Speaks for Itself
President Trump highlighted his real-world peace achievements, including his administration’s historic U.S.-brokered deal between Israel and Hamas and the end of multiple long-running conflicts overseas.
“I’ve stopped eight wars,” Trump said. “That’s never happened before. But I didn’t do it for an award. I did it because I saved lives — American lives.”
Unlike Obama’s symbolic gestures and apology tours, Trump’s “America First” diplomacy brought measurable results — stability, strength, and peace through power.
The Truth About the Nobel Committee
The Nobel Peace Prize Committee will announce this year’s recipient Thursday morning from Oslo, Norway.
Since Trump returned to the Oval Office, his administration’s push for global peace through strength has reignited discussions over what true leadership looks like.
Even Trump’s critics admit he’s delivered results. From North Korea to the Middle East, he achieved what establishment politicians only promised.
“Whatever they do is fine,” Trump said of the committee. “I didn’t do this for them — I did it for our country.”
A Tale of Two Presidencies
Obama’s presidency left America divided and weakened abroad. Trump’s presidency, by contrast, restored respect for the United States on the world stage.
Many conservatives argue it’s time the world recognized the difference between talking about peace and creating peace through strength.
Bottom Line:
Trump earned his peace deals the hard way — through action, courage, and results. Obama got his prize for good intentions and speeches.
As the Nobel Committee meets again, one question remains: 👉 Do you think President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than Obama ever did?
