Trump Criticizes Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize, Calling It “For Doing Nothing but Destroying Our Country
Washington, D.C. — Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited controversy with remarks aimed at former President Barack Obama, questioning the legitimacy of Obama’s 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump claimed that Obama received the prestigious award “for doing nothing but destroying our country,” a statement that has sparked fresh debate among supporters and critics alike.
The comments come amid heightened political tensions and growing frustration within pro-Trump circles following recent political developments and defeats.
Trump’s remarks reflect his long-standing criticism of the Nobel Committee’s decision to honor Obama during the early months of his presidency.
Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2009 for his efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The decision drew mixed reactions at the time, with both praise and skepticism regarding whether he had achieved enough to merit the honor.
Trump has previously expressed disapproval of the Nobel selection process, often comparing his own administration’s diplomatic initiatives—such as peace accords in the Middle East—to Obama’s recognition.
Political analysts note that Trump’s latest statement may be aimed at energizing his base by revisiting grievances from previous administrations. However, critics argue that such rhetoric further polarizes the political landscape.
As reactions flood social media, both supporters and opponents of the former president continue to debate the meaning and merit of Obama’s Nobel Prize—and the broader implications of Trump’s renewed attacks.
