Trump CAN Win the Nobel Peace Prize — Here’s How

It’s no secret that President Trump feels like he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. 

He’s said so explicitly — unprompted — on numerous occasions. 

Nevertheless, the president had clearly tempered his expectations going into last Friday’s announcement. 

"They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize,” Trump said. “I deserve it, but they will never give it to me."

So it’s no great shock that things didn’t go his way. 

But next year?

That could be a different story. 

His critics may scoff at the notion, but there is a path. 

And I’ll lay it out for you…

Nobel Nominations

First, to win the Nobel Prize, one has to be nominated. And the deadline to be nominated for this year's prize was Jan. 31. 

At that point, Trump didn’t have much backing. (After all, he’d been out of office since 2020.)

Still, he was apparently nominated by New York House Rep. Claudia Tenney for his work on the 2020 Abraham Accords, which normalized diplomatic relationships between Israel and Arab nations.

That’s pretty thin. So, again, it’s no shock Trump fell short this year.

However, he's has made substantially more progress winning backers since he resumed office.

In June, Pakistani leaders said they would nominate Trump for his "decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis." 

Indeed, India and Pakistan traded blows in May before Trump announced a ceasefire after four days of fighting.

Then, in August, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet nominated Trump for his role in a ceasefire with Thailand. That truce followed five days of fighting that were brought to a halt after several phone calls from Trump, as well as mediation efforts by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and a delegation of Chinese negotiators.

Clearly, Trump wasn’t the sole arbiter of the ceasefire, but his nomination was supported by thousands of Buddhist monks who took part in a peace march shortly after.

And finally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he nominated Trump for the prize for his efforts to end the brief conflict between Israel and Iran in June. 

However, even more recently, Trump could and perhaps should be credited with ending Israel’s war on Gaza — at least for the time being. 

There’s still a long way to go there, but Trump's effort to pressure Israel to compromise with Hamas is certainly praiseworthy. 

Especially since Netanyahu just weeks ago stood in front of his far-right followers in the occupied West Bank and vowed that there would be “no Palestinian state.” 

“This place is ours,” Netanyahu declared. 

And it did in fact seem like that’s the way things were going before Trump finally brought Israel to heel. 

But now, here’s the big one…

Peace in Ukraine

For almost four years now, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been the biggest issue in global politics. 

It’s the largest live-fire war in Europe since WWII. 

It’s solicited intervention from the United States and our NATO allies, as well as adversaries like China, India, Iran, and even North Korea.

It prompted Sweden and Finland to join NATO. 

And it’s caused the whole of Europe to rethink its entire defense posture. 

It’s been bloody, ugly, and all-encompassing.

And Trump could end it. 

Or at least do enough to bring about its end. 

We all know President Trump has a familiar relationship with Vladimir Putin. They even met in Alaska in August.

However, more recently, Trump has warmed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 

So much so that he’s ramped up weapons and ammunition supplies after freezing them earlier this year.

He’s also been putting more political, diplomatic, and economic pressure on Russia — maybe even enough to finally get Putin to back down. 

There are a lot of factors at play here. But if Russia finally wears down to the point that it can no longer sustain its invasion and a ceasefire is reached…

It will be undeniable that American support in general, and Trump’s support in particular, were the determining factors. 

And for what it’s worth, Zelenskyy himself said that if Trump can offer the world, and “above all, the Ukrainian people,” a chance for a ceasefire, he will enthusiastically endorse him for the peace prize.

“We will nominate him on behalf of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said.

And I think that would seal it. 

If a year from now we’re looking back at a sustained peace between Israel, Hamas, and Iran…

A handful of other bloody conflicts suppressed by Trump’s intervention…

An end to the most tragic and damaging conflict of the 21st century to date…

And a peaceful, prosperous, and free Ukraine…

How is that not Nobel-worthy?

Of course, it’s going to take more than diplomacy and negotiation. 

Vladimir Putin remains openly hostile and defiant. 

But that’s why Trump has another ace in the hole…
