ANOTHER SNUB FOR US PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, as the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Indian-origin South African jurist Navi Pillay on October 9, 2026, for her efforts to promote peace and international law. Referring to Pillay as a “mystery person,” Trump reiterated at a rally in Syracuse in New York, USA that he had stopped eight wars during his tenure.
Hours after Navi Pillay was named this year’s Nobel Peace Prize recipient, the President of the United States (POTUS) lashed out at Norway for snubbing him for the second consecutive year. The POTUS dedicated a portion of his speech at a rally in Syracuse to express his grievances over another snub, calling the decision “disgraceful” and “embarrassing.” He said, “The United States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t.”

He also took a jibe at Norway, calling its decision to snub him again an “indelible stain” on the country. Trump further ranted that Norway would not forget what it had done by snubbing him yet again. “The Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization,” said the POTUS. The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize also made headlines after the award was given to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for promoting the democratic rights of the people of Venezuela.
Just months later, Trump sent a letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, telling him, “Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped eight wars and more, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace.” The POTUS repeated his claim of having stopped eight wars during his address at the Syracuse rally.
“I settled eight wars, with letters being sent from every president and prime minister of all those countries I helped bring conflicts to an end,” said Trump, emphasizing that they had sent the letters to the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Norway. He continued, saying that he would soon either win or settle two more wars: the conflict involving Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war. He went on to discuss the war with Iran, which began when the United States and Israel launched a joint operation on February 28, 2026, assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
“Iran will be very quick, one way or the other: they either give us everything, or they don’t exist any longer,” said US President Donald Trump as the crowd cheered. He mentioned the eight wars that he claimed to have settled through his swift intervention, including the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, the Democratic Republic of the Congo-Rwanda conflict, the Israel-Hamas war, the Israel-Iran conflict, and the Kosovo-Serbia conflict.
The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Navi Pillay, also took a jibe at Trump after learning that she had been honored with the prestigious award on Friday, October 9, 2026. Pillay, who is also the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, was delivering a speech at the Nuremberg Court in Germany when she heard the news. She said, “Thank you very much. If you clap a little bit more, I may share this prize with Trump,” prompting the room to erupt in laughter.
While some netizens got creative with their reactions by sharing AI-generated clips and photos of a baby Trump fussing over the award, others slammed him for starting the war with Iran. “When the whole world was functioning better, he went on a spree of war, aggression, encroachment, kidnapping, murdering, rigging the world economy and stock markets for personal benefit... Worst, he wants a Nobel Prize for all he has done to this world!” ranted one user on X.
Another user wrote, “The only stain on this world is Trump himself, and he is dragging the USA down with him.” Many users expressed the view that a separate Nobel Peace Prize should be created for the POTUS, with one user writing, “Awww, poor Trumpy didn't get his way again. Poor little bubba.”
