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.

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...

Sam Cooke: The Rise, Legacy, and the Unsolved Mystery of an Icon's Tragic Death. By Ben Emos | Tuesday, January 21, 2025 | 6 min read In a poorly lit Los Angeles motel room, the echoes of a gunshot shattered the night, marking the tragic end of one of music's brightest stars. Sam Cooke, the smooth-voiced crooner behind timeless hits like “A Change is Gonna Come” and “You Send Me,” lay lifeless on the cold floor. Decades later, the circumstances surrounding his death remain clouded by whispers of conspiracy and cover-ups. Was it truly a case of self-defense, or was there more to the story?

Inspired by his own experiences, he refus...

Donald Trump's Greenland Proposal: A Threat to NATO and a Gift to Vladimir Putin

Donald Trump's Greenland Proposal: A Threat to NATO and a Gift to Vladimir Putin By Ben Emos & Don Terry | Wednesday, January 15, 2025 | 2 min read Donald Trump’s intentions regarding the world’s largest island remain uncertain, but he has not ruled out the possibility of resorting to military threats against a NATO member. Such a move could invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter, which treats an attack on one member as an attack on all. This prospect poses a significant diplomatic challenge for the alliance, potentially destabilizing its cohesion and advancing Vladimir Putin’s goal of undermining NATO’s unity. During a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump suggested he could not dismiss the idea of using military or economic pressure to acquire Greenland—or even the Panama Canal. Adding fuel to speculation, his son, Donald Trump Jr., visited Greenland, raising questions about their intentions. The U.S. already maintains the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, a...
