Trump claims he ended eight wars, says Norway "foolishly" denied him Nobel Peace Prize

Donald Trump claims he single-handedly ended eight wars and saved millions, while criticizing Norway for foolishly denying him the Nobel Peace Prize.

"The only Nation that China and Russia fear and respect is the rebuilt U.S.A. - Donald Trump"

Washington, DC, January 8

US President Donald Trump claimed that he had "single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS" and maintained that although the Nobel Peace Prize "doesn't matter," he believed he had been unfairly denied the award by Norway, the country that hosts the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the central issue for him was that he had "saved millions of lives," while criticising Norway for what he called a foolish decision to withhold the honour. In the message, he referred to the award as the "Noble Peace Prize."

Linking his foreign policy record to US military power, Trump said American strength under his leadership restored global deterrence and commanded respect from adversaries. "The only Nation that China and Russia fear and respect is the rebuilt U.S.A.," he wrote, attributing the prevention of broader conflicts and progress on peace to that military rebuilding.

Trump has repeatedly said he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for diplomatic initiatives during his first term, particularly in the Middle East, and has frequently compared his record with that of past recipients.

In the same post, Trump again criticised US allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, alleging that several member states failed to meet defence spending obligations until he pressured them to do so. He said contributions increased only after his intervention, adding that the United States had been "foolishly paying for them" for years.

Referring to Norway as a founding NATO member, Trump described the country as benefiting from US security guarantees while, in his view, denying him recognition for his role in preserving peace.

Trump also made broad assertions about Russia and NATO, claiming Moscow does not fear the alliance without US support and crediting himself with preventing a complete Russian takeover of Ukraine.

Writing portions of the post in capital letters, Trump said that without his involvement, "Russia would have all of Ukraine right now," and added that "Russia and China have zero fear of NATO without the United States."

He further questioned whether NATO would assist the United States if it faced a threat, while reiterating his claim that the only country China and Russia "fear and respect" is the United States, whose military, he said, was rebuilt during his leadership.

His constant need for validation is embarrassing for a world leader. Talking about saving millions while his policies created so much division? The Abraham Accords were a positive step, I'll give him that. But claiming to single-handedly prevent a Russian takeover of Ukraine ignores the bravery of the Ukrainian people and soldiers.

Whether you like him or not, he has a point about NATO allies not paying their fair share. Why should the US bear the burden? India understands the cost of defence. But his tone is so undiplomatic. You can make the same argument without insulting entire nations like Norway.

From an outside perspective (I'm an American living in Mumbai), this is classic Trump. He creates his own reality. The Nobel committee probably looked at his overall record—the rhetoric, the withdrawal from international agreements, the chaos—and decided peace wasn't exactly his brand. Can't blame them.

The obsession with the Nobel Prize is funny. Real peacemakers don't go around demanding awards. Look at our own borders—peace is maintained through constant, quiet diplomacy and strength, not by boasting on social media. His claim that only the US deters China and Russia is also outdated. The world is multipolar now.

Honestly, as an Indian, I'm more concerned about how such volatile statements affect global stability, which impacts our economy and security. When superpower leaders are busy fighting over prizes and insulting allies, it creates uncertainty for everyone else. We need steady hands at the wheel.
