NEED TO KNOW
- Trump calls denial of Nobel Peace Prize “an act of violence against peace.”
- Pentagon reportedly placed Oslo “on standby for democracy.”
- Putin calls Trump’s reaction “very calm and reasonable, by comparison.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump reportedly ordered the Pentagon to “prepare precision peace strikes” against the Nobel Committee after the group awarded its 2025 Peace Prize to Venezuelan activist Maria Corina Machado instead of him. Trump called the move “an international provocation and a total disgrace to peace, which I basically invented.”
Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump said he had “no choice” but to “bomb them into understanding peace properly.” He described the potential military action as “surgical, humane, and very peaceful — probably the most peaceful bombing in history.” The statement came just hours after his aides released a graphic titled *Operation Norwegian Diplomacy: Fire and Friendship.*
‘Peace Through Air Superiority’
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Trump’s message was “completely consistent with his vision of peace through overwhelming force.” She added that “the president’s disappointment stems not from ego, but from his lifelong commitment to peace deals that end with explosions of freedom.”
When asked whether bombing the Nobel Institute might violate international law, Leavitt responded, “Not if it’s for peace.” She then accused the committee of being “a globalist front for loser countries that don’t appreciate greatness.”
Oslo on Alert, MAGA on Defense
Vice President JD Vance praised Trump’s “measured tone,” noting that “it takes real restraint to threaten an entire country instead of actually bombing it.” The State Department later clarified that the administration would “consider peaceful cruise missiles as a symbolic gesture of strength.” Meanwhile, Fox News began airing a countdown clock titled *PEACE STRIKE: THE FINAL PUSH FOR HONOR.*
International leaders have urged calm, though few seemed surprised. French President Emmanuel Macron remarked, “It is both alarming and very on-brand.” Reports indicate that Trump’s base responded enthusiastically online, with hashtags like #BombForPeace and #NobleNotNobel trending across Truth Social.
At press time, Trump was seen holding a toy jet while explaining to aides how “smart bombs can deliver smarter peace.”
