The pill still has difficulty being accepted by Donald Trump. Almost a week after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to María Corina Machado, an opponent of Nicolás Maduro’s regime in Venezuela, the American president reaffirms that he would have been a good winner of this prize, given the wars he stopped.
“I don’t think a single president has stopped a single war. I stopped eight in eight months. Did I receive a Nobel Prize? No. Do you believe it?” he said during a state dinner at the White House this Wednesday, October 15.
“Even I said: ‘It’s impossible,'” adds Donald Trump, who still congratulated the winner after the Nobel committee’s announcement. According to him, María Corina Machado also accepted the award “in her honor.”
He claims to have helped end eight wars – an overestimated number – thereby saving “perhaps hundreds of millions of lives.”
“Next year will be better”
“But hey, it doesn’t matter. I think next year will be better, but I’m not sure,” concludes the head of state.
Several of his supporters claimed to have submitted their candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize, but most of them did so too late for the American president to win the prize this year.
They will therefore be effective for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu considered in particular that Donald Trump “deserved” this prize, following the ceasefire agreement reached between Hamas and Israel, and asked that it be granted to him. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah-Al Sissi also told the American president that he “deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.”
“I love stopping wars,” the White House resident summed up soberly.
