Even if you weren’t aware that the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado, you’ll no doubt have spotted that it didn’t go to Donald Trump.
BREAKING NEWS
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to… pic.twitter.com/Zgth8KNJk9— The Nobel Prize (@NobelPrize) October 10, 2025
You’ll also be aware that Donald Trump has been practically begging for a Nobel Peace Prize for years, skewered by envy of Barack Obama, who got one in 2009.

While not everyone was convinced that Ms Machado deserves the honour, the news that Trump had been overlooked again led to a certain amount of applause on the internet.
Donald Trump and his minions are losing their minds again because their malevolent, melon-hued messiah didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.
The convicted felon.
The adjudicated rapist.
The business fraud.
The pathologically lying insurrectionist who said his own vice president… pic.twitter.com/WMGkkL1k3n— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) October 10, 2025
The only thing better than trump not winning the Nobel Peace Prize after begging for it all year, is him learning he didn’t get it because he has no courage or integrity.

Trump was hot favourite for the Nobel Peace Prize, but then the Committee reduced his chances by 500%.

Being Donald Trump, of course he had a spin on the award that really didn’t ring true.
Trump: “The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said ‘I’m accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.’ A really nice thing to do. I didn’t say ‘Then give it to me, though.'” pic.twitter.com/NsMY97IP2J

Although we know she phoned him, those details seem sketchy AF. Did she call him ‘sir’? Were there tears in her eyes.
Twitter was as sceptical as we were.

Would not be shocked to find out the administration hired someone to call him and play the role so he believes this really did happen.
Would be less surprised to find out it’s the same actor who plays Putin during Melania’s calls. #whitehousecatfish https://t.co/EnszTUnDAk— Comfortably Dumb (@jim_tworontoe) October 11, 2025
To be completely fair to Trump – a concept quite alien to the man himself – María Corina Machado did give him a nod. Not how he painted it, though.
That actually not what she said. She is a smart and selfless lady. No way having Trump resent her will help her people. She said: “We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin…
