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. During his presidency, he repeatedly brought it up, often with a mix of resentment and disbelief. He would remind crowds that Barack Obama received the prize in 2009, a fact that still seemed to gnaw at him. He would point to talks with North Korea, the Abraham Accords, or moments when his administration avoided escalating conflicts, as evidence that he too deserved recognition. But what Trump never seemed to grasp was that diplomacy is not a show staged for applause. Real peacemakers don't hold rallies about their greatness—they do the work quietly, often in dangerous circumstances, without the expectation of glory.

Added to the equation are the storms he created both at home and abroad. Inside the United States, entire states and cities were thrown into political and cultural turmoil during his presidency. California Washington DC and Chicago became flashpoints of unrest, with deepening divisions and a climate that at times felt more like a war zone than a functioning democracy.

Abroad, Trump declared a global trade war on tariffs, rattling allies and adversaries alike. In one of the most bizarre diplomatic moments of his tenure, he even asserted that he could take over Greenland from Denmark—a fellow NATO member and a key part of the Scandinavian community. This wasn't a passing comment; it was an assertion that reflected how casually he approached matters of international sovereignty. His rhetoric left countries like Panama and Canada unsettled. Traditional alliances were treated like business deals to be torn up or remade at will, and long-standing partners found themselves wondering whether the United States under Trump was still a reliable ally.

Kamala Harris Is Far From An Enigma

Kamala Harris Is Far From An Enigma By Ben Emos and Tony Bruce | Wednesday, September  25 , 2024 | 7 min read Recently, critics have argued that Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t fully fleshed out her policies, raising concerns about the clarity of her agenda. Interestingly, this critique mirrors rhetoric often used by former President Donald Trump, who is known for diverting attention from more controversial issues. In this case, it could be seen as a way to shift the spotlight away from growing unease around the GOP’s Project 2025 and the more symbolic “eating of cats and dogs” controversy in Springfield, Ohio. Project 2025, the Republican-backed policy framework, has stirred concern due to its extreme deregulation measures and rollbacks on protections for vulnerable communities. Critics of the plan argue that it represents a significant threat to public health, environmental safety, and economic equality. The “eating of cats and dogs” metaphor, while not literal, encapsulates ...

Donald Trump Sentenced in Hush Money Trial Involving Porn Star Stormy Daniels

Donald Trump Sentenced in Hush Money Trial Involving Porn Star Stormy Daniels. By Don Terry | Tuesday, January 14, 2025 | 2 min read In a landmark case that has captivated the nation, former President Donald Trump has been sentenced after being convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The charges stemmed from a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Despite the guilty verdict, the court handed down an unconditional discharge, meaning Trump will face no further penalties, including imprisonment or community service. The allegations centered on claims that Trump orchestrated the payment to Daniels to silence her allegations of an affair. Prosecutors argued that the payment was fraudulently recorded in business ledgers, violating state law. The jury ultimately sided with the prosecution, but the sentencing judge issued a rare and controversial ruling, granting unconditional discharge. Legal analysts have n...

The Truth Behind Trump’s Tale of a Harrowing Helicopter Ride and Emergency Landing That Never Happened

The Truth Behind Trump’s Tale of a Harrowing Helicopter Ride and Emergency Landing That Never Happened. By Mary Jones and Ben Emos | Thursday, August  15 , 2024 | 6 min read During Donald Trump’s political campaigns, particularly in 2016 and 2020, he often  employed personal attacks and misinformation to undermine his opponents. In 2016, Trump targeted Hillary Clinton by focusing on her husband’s extramarital affairs, hoping to tarnish her public image. By 2020, his strategy shifted to Hunter Biden’s business ventures, with Trump attempting to discredit Joe Biden by associating him with his son’s dealings. In both cases, the goal was clear: damage the opponent’s reputation through a blend of accusations, half-truths, and outright falsehoods. In yet another one of his colorful anecdotes, former President Donald Trump claimed he experienced an emergency helicopter landing alongside former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Trump described the situation as a tense moment, suggesti...
