Trump Criticizes Missed Nobel Prize, Claiming He Is Even Preventing War Between North and South Korea

U.S. President Donald Trump strongly criticized the Norwegian Nobel Committee, calling the failure to award him the Nobel Peace Prize an "indelible stain."

Speaking at a midterm election campaign rally in Syracuse, New York, on the 9th local time, President Trump said, "Today, the Nobel Peace Prize went to someone I've never heard of," describing the winner as a "mysterious figure no one knows."

This year's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Navi Pillay, a human rights law expert who has served as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and as a judge at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

President Trump claimed that he had ended eight wars, asserting, "If I had resolved just one of these, I would have been able to receive the Nobel Prize."

He added, "We should have received eight Nobel Prizes—one for each war."

"The United States, represented by your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but it didn't," he criticized, calling it "an indelible stain on Norway and those who made such a shameful and embarrassing decision."

President Trump cited examples such as India-Pakistan, Israel-Hamas, Egypt-Ethiopia, Congo-Rwanda, and Kosovo-Serbia as conflicts he claims to have resolved.

He also claimed, "I am constantly preventing wars between South Korea and North Korea, Japan and North Korea, and China and Taiwan," asserting that wars are not breaking out in these regions thanks to his role.

Furthermore, he expressed confidence that he would soon resolve the wars in Iran and Ukraine.

Regarding the war with Iran in particular, he said, "The situation with Iran will be concluded very quickly one way or another. Either they give us everything, or they no longer exist. They know that, too."

President Trump repeatedly expressed his grievances, stating, "The Nobel Peace Prize has permanently lost its credibility due to a small group of individuals with radical ideologies who are anti-democratic and effectively enemies of civilization," adding, "We will not forget Norway for refusing to give us this award despite achieving the greatest accomplishments in history."

On this day, President Trump focused on boosting voter turnout for the midterm elections by supporting Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman in the traditionally Democratic-leaning New York State.

Appealing to his supporters to participate in the vote, he said, "If I am not on the ballot, 48% of you won't vote. Please pretend as if I am on the ballot."
