President’s Corner
The Disgraceful Nobel Prize Committee
On Friday we learned that this Committee named Maria Corina Machado, the 58-year-old leader of the Venezuelan opposition party, as the 2025 recipient. She was hailed by the committee for standing “up for free and fair elections more than 20 years ago” and for speaking out “for judicial independence, human rights & popular representation.” Ms. Machado dedicated the honor in part to President Trump saying “we count on President Trump and the people of the United States…” Of course they do. So why was she selected?
While we congratulate Ms. Machado for her work, I am incensed by the repeated rebuke of President Trump by this Nobel Prize Committee. He has been nominated multiple times, yet we knew they were not likely to give him the award as they are partisan actors. The world knows Donald Trump has done what no other leader has been able to do stopping 8 wars in 9 months! Who else could possibly be called the “Peace President”?
This was a slap in the face, not just to our president but to America. They gave this prize to Barack Obama just months after he came into office having accomplished nothing except being the first Black president. Many world leaders had called for President Trump to receive the award yet the committee’s hypocrisy and disdain were undeniable and the partisanship is clear. The truth is that President Trump does not care about awards, he cares about world peace, even more reason to honor him!
Just consider what President Trump inherited from Joe Biden. Wars raging between Ukraine & Russia, Israel, Hamas, Iran and their proxies, not to mention wars we weren’t even aware of among 12 other nations that our president ended. The inept and weak previous administration had neither the intellect, the will, nor the ability to bring peace, it was not a priority. That invited chaos & war. President Trump ran on stopping wars and bringing peace through strength.
Many national and international leaders have said that if Donald Trump did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize that committee should cease to exist. Rick Grinnell said the committee is the “biggest joke of an organization” and that another more just one will rise up to take its place. He said the U.S. will be the ultimate purveyor of what peace looks like and we will start giving out awards.
Donald Trump is truly the “Peace President”. He has accomplished what no other world leader has. I suggest that we Americans fashion our own award naming it the World Peace Award and present it to President Trump from a grateful nation!
