Donald Trump: The Would-Be Dictator Who Couldn’t Win The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize - Fedlan News | FN Newsroom

Donald Trump’s Nobel dreams collapsed as the world chose courage over spectacle. A dictator’s fantasy meets a brutal reality. Trump's yearning for the Nobel Prize has been an open secret for years.
