Trump Slams Nobel Peace Prize Decision as 'Disgrace,' Claims He Deserved Eight Awards

The former president claimed he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes for his conflict resolution efforts, citing his administration's actions in the Middle East, such as preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and securing the return of Israeli hostages. He dismissed Pillay as a liberal UN official whom nobody has ever heard of, and argued that the United Nations played no role in the conflicts he claimed to have settled, including disputes involving India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Kosovo and Serbia.

Pillay, who previously served as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and a judge at the International Criminal Court, was honored for her work promoting peace and international law. She also headed a UN commission that accused Israel of attempting to destroy the Palestinian population in Gaza. Israel vehemently rejected these allegations, and the Israeli Prime Minister's office criticized the Nobel Committee's decision, stating it had lost its moral compass.

Trump accused the committee of being comprised of radical ideologues and warned that the prize was now forever discredited. He further claimed that Norway was corrupt and was ripping off the United States.
