Trump Nominated for Peace Prize—Universe Says “Surely Not” in Unison

Bibi Netanyahu nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize mid-ceasefire talks, confirming we’ve entered the satire phase of history. Somewhere, irony burst into flames.

It’s official: 2025 has entered the self-parody phase of geopolitics.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has nominated Donald J.

Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

The announcement comes days after Trump resumed arms shipments to Israel and imposed new tariffs on allies—just in case anyone was unsure whether this timeline is cursed.

Netanyahu made the nomination during a high-profile meeting at the White House, where he described Trump as a “historic force for peace.” This is the same Trump who previously moved the U.S.

embassy to Jerusalem, slashed Palestinian aid, and offered ceasefire terms that made international negotiators wince.

So, what’s changed? Not much, apparently.

But with Netanyahu facing corruption charges at home and Trump preparing for another presidential run, this nomination looks less like diplomacy and more like mutual brand rehab.

For both leaders, this was political theatre with global reach.

Let’s be clear: Nobel Peace Prize nominations aren’t rare or even prestigious on their own.

Anyone holding a government office, parliament seat, or university lectern can submit one.

Trump’s been nominated before—most recently in 2020—and didn’t make it past the shortlisting stage.

But this year’s version feels even more polarising, coming on the heels of heightened violence, global protests, and the kind of ceasefire that looks more like a pause button than a solution.

Reactions from the international community were predictably chaotic.

Critics called it “absurd,” “dangerous,” and “proof the prize is politically bankrupt.” Supporters, mostly within Trump’s orbit, argued that “no one’s done more to end war”—a phrase that conveniently forgets how many escalations, drone strikes, and cancelled treaties happened on his watch.

Meanwhile, the Nobel Committee has not responded publicly.

It rarely does at the nomination stage.

Still, the move has already ignited headlines worldwide and drawn comparisons to other controversial nominees.

It also raises questions about whether the Peace Prize, long considered a symbol of global aspiration, can survive the optics of being handed out like a participation trophy in a nuclear-themed spelling bee.

Bottom line: Trump may not win the Nobel, but he’s already won the media cycle—and maybe that was the goal all along.
