There’s a peculiar rhythm to how the left tries — and fails — to stop Donald J. Trump. The music starts the moment he accomplishes something extraordinary. Then comes the media frenzy, the pre-scripted outrage, the academic hand-wringing, and the coordinated attempt to either ignore, discredit, or flat-out rewrite what just happened.
🚨 JUST IN: Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado DEDICATES her prize to President Trump
“I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!”

But the problem for the left is, Trump isn’t just a political figure anymore. He’s a phenomenon. And just like in the Road Runner cartoons — no matter how many Acme-branded traps they set — he never gets caught. In fact, he often ends up grinning at the camera while the trap blows up in Wile E. Coyote’s face.
The latest example? The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
The world watched as Trump once again stepped into global diplomacy and did what no sitting president, no UN envoy, and no Ivy League think tank could do: broker a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, ending a brutal two-year conflict and securing the release of the remaining hostages. That, after playing a role in resolving international flashpoints from South Asia to the Middle East and Eastern Europe. That, after four years in office where no new wars were started and multiple peace agreements were signed.
The speculation began to swirl — maybe this time, the Nobel Committee couldn’t ignore him.
They did.
At Fox, Roger Ailes never even allowed anyone to submit for an award bc he understood how meaningless they were – a leftist celebration of leftist behavior. Trump deserves the Peace Prize, but the loser here is the Nobel Committee which has further sullied its once-stellar brand.

Instead, the Peace Prize went to María Corina Machado, the courageous Venezuelan opposition leader challenging the brutal regime of Nicolás Maduro. Her work is real. Her courage, admirable. But the choice, let’s not pretend, had a familiar scent — another polite snub of Trump cloaked in a noble narrative.
And then came the plot twist.
When Machado picked up the phone to thank the Nobel Committee, she humbly redirected the credit. She called it a movement, not a solo act. Then, in a sentence that must’ve sent coffee cups flying across editorial desks at The Guardian and The New York Times, she dedicated the award to the suffering people of Venezuela — and to President Donald Trump.
Let that sit for a moment.
The very man the Nobel Committee excluded from the honor, the man they were eager to sideline once again, was named by the recipient herself as essential to her cause. Not Barack Obama. Not the EU. Not any multinational bureaucracy. Trump.
And this is where the narrative collapses. The left can’t decide what version of Trump they’re fighting. Is he the dangerous warmonger? The erratic populist? Or the man whose peace deals and foreign policy actually worked?
President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives.
He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.
The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace. https://t.co/dwCEWjE0GE

They can’t pin him down. Every time they try, the boulder rolls back down the hill — and lands right on top of them.
Meanwhile, as Steven Cheung, Trump’s White House Communications Director, rightly pointed out, the Nobel Committee showed its hand. It values politics over peace. Appearances over outcomes. Symbolism over substance.
