With hours to go until the announcement of this year’s Nobel peace prize, Norwegian politicians were steeling themselves for potential repercussions to US-Norway relations if it is not awarded to Donald Trump.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee pointedly said on Thursday that it had reached a decision about who will be named 2025 peace prize laureate on Monday, several days before Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire under the US president’s Gaza plan.

Taking into account the timeframe and the composition of the independent five-person committee, most Nobel experts and Norwegian observers believe it is highly unlikely that Trump will be awarded the prize, leading to fears in the country over how he will react to being overlooked so publicly.

Nothing says peace like blowing up Venezuelan fishermen.

    I can guarantee, the only reason this ceasefire happened is because Trump was deluded in thinking it would be that one magic trick to get a Nobel Peace Prize and therefore was the only thing that got him to finally strongarm Israel. If the genocide continues as soon as the Nobel winner is announced, I'd be certain.

    Nothing says you’re deserving of a “peace” prize more than people being afraid of not awarding it to you.

    I can’t think of a better person than a degenerate fascist racist pig who’s systematically destroying America and cranking up another civil war intentionally within their own borders to get the Nobel Peace Prize.

    Chief rapist just screams of peace…while he’s grabbing it by the pussy.

    Perhaps they shouldn't have one this time?
    People might be heroically trying but we're a bit short on peace RN.

    Why don’t they just sell it to him for $1 ? The whole world except him will realize that makes it invalid.

    At the UN last month, Trump falsely claimed that he had halted seven “unendable wars”, telling world leaders: “Everyone says I should get the Nobel peace prize.”

    Who the everlasting chuff is 'everyone'? And I don't mean his army of sycophants.

    It's his good friend Everyone. They've been friends since they were kids, and Everyone has always been supportive of him.

    Interesting fun fact: Everyone was the right-fielder that goes unnamed in Who's on First.

    A soft-spoken man by nature, working the outfield led him to lose his concept of the "inside voice," and as such, when Everyone spoke, everyone else had no choice but to listen or ditch out for a cigarette.

    I don’t think 24 hours is enough. I also don’t think the truce will hold longer than Netanyahu’s next court summons. That said, if Trump’s obsession with topping Obama accidentally ends the genocide in Gaza, that’s still a good outcome for the remaining Gazans. Its not like the prize hasn’t gone to monsters before.

    If Nero won the Olympics why can't Trump win the Nobels?
