Hunter Biden mock-nominates Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

newsJul 3, 202662284

Hunter Biden posted a sarcastic nomination of Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, writing that "No President in History has ended the same war so many times" and citing CNN's count that Trump had ended the war with Iran "at least 38 times." The White House did not treat the nomination seriously and White House spokesman Davis Ingle emailed, "Just like Sleepy Joe, Hunter Biden's brains are fried potatoes. We wish him and his family well during this difficult time." The item pointed to Trump’s long-running public pursuit of a Nobel, noting Barack Obama won the award in 2009 and that Trump continued to assert he deserved one. HuffPost reported related episodes in which Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel and symbolically gave her award to Trump, FIFA President Gianni Infantino created a FIFA Peace Prize and awarded it to Trump, and Trump told Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre he felt snubbed for the 2025 prize. Støre responded that the Nobel prizes are decided by an independent committee, not the Norwegian government. The story centers on Biden's mock nomination and the contrast with repeated public efforts by Trump and others to secure or confer peace-related honors.
