Trump’s Nobel Prize Plea Sparks Outrage: Critics Call It Desperation Over Merit.

In the USA

The news as it trends.

President Donald Trump is reportedly begging for a Nobel Peace Prize, reaching out to Norwegian officials—including the Finance Minister—in a bold attempt to secure a nomination.

Social media erupted as critics slammed the move, calling it a “desperate grab for prestige” rather than a recognition of merit.

The Nobel Peace Prize is meant to honor those who’ve made lasting contributions to global peace.

But Trump’s repeated self-promotion and lobbying efforts have drawn ridicule.

One viral comment read: “If all it takes is begging, then the Nobel has become a political participation trophy.”

The Nobel Committee remains independent, but Trump’s latest push has stirred controversy and cast doubt on the prize’s integrity.
