Trump Says Obama Won Nobel Peace Prize For Doing Nothing
President Donald Trump has criticized former President Barack Obama, claiming he received the Nobel Peace Prize “for doing nothing but destroying the nation.” His remarks came a day after Trump lost his own bid for the prestigious award.
Speaking at a press conference, Trump said Obama was honored years ago despite having done little to deserve the recognition. He argued it was unfair that Obama was praised while he himself had “ended wars” without acknowledgment.
Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize sixteen years ago, just eight months into his presidency. The decision at the time sparked debate, with some calling it premature and suggesting the standards for the award should have been higher.
Addressing reporters from the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump discussed his upcoming trip to Europe for a peace agreement signing. “I have stopped eight wars,” he said, claiming such accomplishments had never been achieved before.
Despite his frustration, Trump said he was not upset about losing the award. “I did this because I saved so many lives,” he explained, emphasizing that his focus was on peace and protecting the country rather than seeking accolades.
The former president also suggested that recognition often depends on political bias and media influence rather than real achievements.
His comments quickly sparked online debate, with supporters praising his peace efforts and critics dismissing the remarks as another example of his ongoing resentment toward the establishment.
