Trump attacks Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay in Truth Social rant, claims he 'should have won 8' prizes
President Trump posted a lengthy Truth Social rant overnight after South African jurist, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, calling the decision an 'indelible stain on Norway' and dismissing Pillay as a 'liberal person who works at the United Nations who nobody has ever heard of.' He claimed he 'should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes' for having 'settled 8 wars,' listing conflicts he said he resolved, and accused Pillay of hating Israel. The post followed a midterm campaign rally in Syracuse, New York, where he similarly lambasted the award as 'disgraceful and embarrassing.' The Nobel committee chair defended the prize's independence and criteria.
“I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else! In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever heard of her other than the fact that she, very obviously, hates Israel.” Quote verified against source
