X laughs as Nobel Committee announces ‘anyone but Trump’ selection for Peace Prize – Twitchy
The Nobel Peace Prize has been a joke since the committee awarded it to the terrorist Yasser Arafat in 1994. A decade and a half later, the prize was awarded to Barack Obama…
…Well, we’re not really sure. For “Hope and Change” or something like that.
Obama then justified his award by talking about weddings, families, and even an American in the Middle East.
In other words, conservatives and any other ordinary people shouldn’t pay much attention to who the Nobel committee awards the prize to this year. All we knew was that they wouldn’t give it to the only man who deserved it, Donald James Trump.
And the committee certainly confirmed that certainty early this morning when it announced that the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize had been awarded to… “not Donald Trump.”
Breaking news
The Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to award the prize in 2025 #Nobel_Peace_Prize To Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work in promoting the democratic rights of the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to… pic.twitter.com/Zgth8KNJk9– Nobel Prize (@NobelPrize) October 10, 2025
Well, at least they didn’t give it to Yahya Sinwar. Or Jimmy Kimmel.
Maria Corina Machado is actually a huge fan of Trump and has often praised him for his support.
President Trump,
Your unwavering support for Venezuela’s struggle for democracy is greatly appreciated.
With extraordinary courage, the Venezuelan people have consistently defied fear and brutal repression, standing united to reject a criminal regime desperate to cling to power and… https://t.co/7EVCvHiQ2v

However, we cannot help but realize that Nicolás Maduro still rules Venezuela with an iron fist, exporting drugs and terrorism, while President Trump has been ending conflicts around the world since his inauguration.

To be clear, the nomination period technically ended on January 31, so it would not have included Trump’s successes, most recently negotiating an end to the war Hamas started with Israel. But there is nothing preventing the committee from making amendments if it so chooses.
They chose poorly.
Nothing against Machado, but today’s announcement reaffirms what we already knew: The Nobel Peace Prize has become a joke. Accordingly, X laughed heartily at the news.
Great job…wait, the dictator is still here and people are still without food. Anyone but Trump, right?

That seems to be at the top of the criteria list, yes.
The Nobel Peace Prize has become irrelevant, which is a betrayal of Nobel’s intentions. pic.twitter.com/gznqlDQncm

The amount of backlash the Nobel Prize is trying to avoid by hiding comments is laughable. https://t.co/f4egjNiu29 pic.twitter.com/FOaNLErdpX

Oh, there were a lot of cryptic responses. Here are a few good ones.

Ha.
Read the comment. It wasn’t a wooden horse that did that at all. It was Trump who ended the Trojan War.

Although this response is certainly in the spirit of the Nobel Prize founder, it may be a bit harsh.
Maybe Trump could annex Norway instead.
This is anger. Donald Trump stopped all wars when he took office and included Ukraine in NATO
We are the oldest and greatest country on earth. You have to act like it or pay the price

It’s time to impose 200% tariffs on all Scandinavian countries.
As for Machado, we’re not sure how the committee found her to give her the award.
She’s hiding. 😂

Very funny. The sound is up.
By the way, the AI was a huge mistake. We need to stop it immediately.
Fake Nobel Prize. She was clearly compromised by the deep state. https://t.co/NysugPyt02 pic.twitter.com/THjudIpUnO

This is funny. But it’s also accurate.

They’ve been doing this for decades. They reaffirmed their status this week.
I know people are upset that Trump didn’t win. But the simple fact is that Thursday Night Football prevented Americans from texting their vote on time. https://t.co/aH3zhNYB2a

Ha. Maybe true.
We knew that the Venezuelan lady no one had ever heard of would be tough to beat. 🤣 https://t.co/g23h6M3nDf

She may have gotten Bono to lobby for her, who knows?
President Trump has brought peace and saved the lives of thousands, if not millions.
Machado had noble intentions but no results, and yet she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Why do we reward intentions over life-saving peace outcomes? https://t.co/RCJzoB32aF

In Machado’s defense, she’s not a bad orange guy. This goes a long way with the committee.
The only thing more ridiculous is giving this award to Greta. The essence of insignificance. https://t.co/gcrRk61og8

please. We beg you. The Nobel Committee does not give any ideas.
Trump may have had the last and best laugh when Machado announced that she would dedicate her victory to him.
New: Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado praises President Trump and dedicates her award to him:

Ultimately, the fact that most people were making jokes about it shows how far the Nobel Prize has fallen. Meanwhile, Trump will continue to do what he is doing.
President Trump will continue to make peace, end wars, and save lives.
He has a human heart, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with his sheer willpower.
The Nobel Committee has proven that it puts politics above peace. https://t.co/dwCEWjE0GE

Yes, but they always have.
We care about them now just enough to make fun of them, nothing more.
But if the committee does not give Trump the award the next Next year, when all his achievements become eligible for consideration, we may need to reconsider that above proposal to nuke Norway.
