"President Donald Trump finally got his peace prize Tuesday night when he was honored with the Richard Nixon Foundation's Architect of Peace' award. Though not the Nobel Peace Prize he'd been campaigning for, Trump happily accepted the award at a private ceremony in the Oval Office, with the White House posting a video of him holding a gold trophy molded in the likeness of former President Richard Nixon."
"Trump and his allies had mounted an aggressive push for the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this year, arguing that he had resolved multiple wars across the planet and had, just days prior to the Nobel announcement, had brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Instead, the Nobel Committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, citing her courage in advancing democratic rights. The Nobel committee noted that entries for the 2025 award closed in January, before Trump entered office."
