Trump will now threaten to take over Venezuela, hit Norway with 300% trade tariffs, and argue that the Nobel Prize means nothing at all whilst simultaneously saying its committee is a fraud and he actually won it.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He'll ask to see it and then just steal it
The best predictor for future behaviour is past behaviour
Wait... which award did he steal?
Summarised context. Calling it stealing might be a bit much but still actions typical of Trump.
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/fact-check-trump-pocketed-fifa-212100537.html
Trumps words imply they told him he could keep it. He could be lying as always, or FIFA gave it to him no diff to the million other bribes capitalists have gifted the shit king... neither would surprise me.
Both are pieces of shit, so either way it's criminals scratching each other's backs.
I'm more worried he'll take it out on Palestine via the ceasfire, because he's a petty bitch.
Like Israel would ever honor a cease fire regardless of what Trump did.
“Actually Bibi just keep killing them, what’s the point anymore?”
Bookmarked! I want to see how accurate this becomes. That's all he wanted so he can one up Obama.
And will also say that he's never heard of this Alfred Nobel guy.

Its hard not to see this as at least mildly trolling Trump by giving it to a Venezuelan, considering he seems pretty dead set on starting a war with Venezuela while also never shutting up about how he thinks he deserves the peace prize
Well, she's actually on the same page. Machado has supported an American military intervention to oust the Maduro government.
She’s a far right escualido, a Trump fluffer.
She literally dedicated her prize to Trump on twitter 😭 what a joke
It’s the equivalent of giving a Nobel peace prize to Laura Loomer. It’s defintely not the Trump own everyone thinks it is.
I hope they're trolling him, and I hope it hurts him deeply
I’m sure he’s got plenty of posts in all caps on his social media site explaining how completely unhurt he is
That's how he'll see it for sure, because he's a narcissistic moron. But actually, it looks as though the individual in question is someone who is as opposed to the current Venezuelan regime as Trump is.
In principle this should be a good outcome for Trump, if you believe that his values are what he says they are. However I don't think he could even point to Venezuela on a map of Venezuela, let alone have any interest in who Maria Corina Machado is.
Trump logic: Start war with Venezuela and complain that stupid committee gave peace price to country at war.
This far right nepo baby doesn't look like Greta at all.
https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2025/summary/
The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to Maria Corina Machado "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."
Last few words are almost like they're thumbing the nose of one specific person.
And this from the press release:
In its long history, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has honoured brave women and men who have stood up to repression, who have carried the hope of freedom in prison cells, on the streets and in public squares, and who have shown by their actions that peaceful resistance can change the world. [...]
When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.
giving a Venezuelan a bigger platform in times of US bullying, well played Norway
Not really she’s a far right POS, it further degrades the Nobel Peace Prize. Which IMO is worthless given they have it to Kissinger.
I hate this for Venezuela. Fuck the “Peace Prize”
I expect Trump's navy to murder more Venezuelans, in retaliation for that, over the next few months..
_ /\ _
Ironically, she is a major opposition leader in Venezuela, so if Trump continues to bomb Maduro's navy, she gets closer to power. She is also a big fan of Trump and has called Thatcher the politician she most admires.
Margaret "There's no such thing as society" Thatcher
'Ironically' as if she's not literally a cia trained puppet waiting for power to hand off venezuelas resources to us shell companies. Trumps america cant even come up with their own schemes anymore, they gotta butcher the classics.
It's literally the history of both South/ Central America, and Africa.
Like those cheap banana prices? you can thank the CIA for that.

I believe peace prize should not be given to a single politician
Especially ones calling for their country to be bombed AND be more like Thatcher
A suck up to Zionist neocons who will be a puppet if they regime change Venezuela. What a fucking joke.
I’m sending the troops to Venezuela! I’m invading Nobel peace prize! 🫲🍊🫱
As I noted in another comment, she's a major opposition party leader in Venezuela, so attacks on Maduro's navy have some chance of putting her closer to power.
Yeah nominate him for Nobel prize of war. So much manlier
I wouldn’t be surprised if he gives himself a made up “president of peace prize”
Far right Trump fluffing toadie 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I'm very relieved to hear that at least some people still have some spine.
It's still just a bunch of politicians trying not to break an arm jerking themselves off.

He will have raged hard hearing the final results.
(Wasn't eligible for "his" Gaza peace accord anyway, since that came after the decision was finalized early October ... but I suspect he was crossing his fingers anyway, because well it's always about him ofcourse)
The award goes to the person or organisation that's done the most "for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses"
So, explain to me how they think that the guy who single-handedly changed the name of the Dept of DEFENSE to the Dept of WAR, fits that description? Did they think that the Nobel committee wouldn't hear about that? Or care?
More likely, it NEVER occurred to them that it might send a mixed message to the world. Intimidating the entire planet into obedience because they are afraid that America will literally destroy their country, or even the world, is NOT Peace.
Seriously, the naked stupidity of these people is truly astounding.

I heard she gave her peace prize to Trump but he refused it.
Oh, no, he would have happily taken it, and crowed about how it was always meant for him anyway, because he deserved it more than anyone, and he would have actually believed it. Remember when he took that wounded soldier's Purple Heart, because "I've always wanted one of these?"
Trump is gonna be maaaad
I love that it went to a Venezuelan, one of his favorite Hate Targets. They're probably all whining that she runs that gang they're always crying about.
