Trump should never get the Nobel Peace Prize

October 13, 2025

Jeff McMullen eloquently presents the case that Donald Trump runs a violent country and is strongly inclined to violence himself. Thus, it is abhorrent that he should even be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize, whatever his involvement in the Israeli/Hamas peace deal.

By all means, give credit where credit is due — and some is probably warranted in this case — but a Nobel Peace Prize recipient should be a person of peace, not a warmonger. The fact that Trump renamed the Department of Defence as the Department of War says it all.

McMullen spells it out. Trump’s own words: “It’s a war from within… we’re under invasion from within,” could indeed shatter the peace by inciting violence. Trump boasting that he did not forgive his enemies is the very antithesis of Christian philosophy which is based on peace. And to not tone down the gun laws, when some 125 Americans are killed with guns each day, is to condone the violence that guns unleash.

Trump has also failed to rein in his lackeys, some of whom have said terrible things, the worst being Steve Bannon who suggested the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci’s head should be on a pike.
