US President Donald Trump expressed his dissatisfaction on Friday regarding not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, labeling it a disgraceful decision that tarnished Norway, the host of the Nobel committee. He criticized the committee for awarding this year’s prize to Navi Pillay, a former judge, who he referred to as a “mystery person” during a rally in Syracuse, New York, claiming he had never heard of her and suggesting that few others had either.
Trump has consistently voiced his disappointment each year of his presidency about not winning the prize. He stated that the decision reflects poorly on Norway and insisted that he played a significant role in resolving several global conflicts, without showing any evidence. He concluded by claiming that the Nobel Peace Prize’s credibility has been damaged by people he views as anti-democratic and hostile to civilization.
