"I'll always remember where I was on Oct. 10, 2025, the day Donald J. Trump was viciously denied the Nobel Peace Prize and the world stopped making sense. Trump had humbly and incessantly campaigned for himself to be honored with the prize, even going so far as to make up claims about stopping wars. He clearly wanted the Nobel Peace Prize like a hungry dog wants a biscuit, and how did the Norwegian Nobel Committee members reward his selfless self-promotion? They gave the prize to someone I've never heard of; Venezuelan opposition activist María Corina Machado. I don't think she's even an American!" Were you surprised that President Trump was not awarded a Nobel Peace Prize?

Trump confidante Laura Loomer wrote on social media: "What an absolute joke. Everyone knows President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. More affirmative action nonsense." Huppke countered with, "This is an absolute outrage. I'm not sure I want to live in a world where a wealthy older white man who is a convicted felon and was found liable for sexual abuse can't successfully demand the same honor previously bestowed upon people like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, the 14th Dalai Lama, Jimmy Carter and Malala Yousafzai." Did President Trump deserve a Nobel Peace Prize in your opinion?
