Former President Donald Trump was not selected for the Nobel Peace Prize as he had hoped. Despite his efforts to secure the prestigious award, the nomination deadline passed early in his second term. While two individuals did nominate him for brokering the Abraham Accords, the focus on peacemaking shifted to the Gaza ceasefire.
Critics have likened Trump’s approach to the peace deal to his business ventures like Trump Steaks and Trump Vodka, implying that he merely rebranded existing initiatives. The Gaza Peace Plan shares similarities with a proposal put forth by his predecessor, President Joe Biden, suggesting a lack of originality.
Although Trump claims credit for stopping or ending multiple conflicts, questions linger about the sustainability of these truces, given his tactics of using tariffs as leverage. Additionally, his controversial decisions, such as renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War and deploying troops to states with opposing political leadership, have raised concerns about potential electoral interference.
Furthermore, Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, his involvement in military actions against alleged drug boats, and his failed attempts to establish a peace oversight board in Gaza have cast doubt on his “President of Peace” image. As the world scrutinizes Trump’s actions, the possibility of his nomination for the upcoming Nobel Peace Prize remains uncertain, contingent on sustained peace in the Middle East.
