On October 9, 2025, Malta’s foreign minister publicly nominated President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, a bold move that crystallizes what conservatives have been saying for years: results matter more than sanctimony. The nomination highlighted Trump’s recent role in brokering a string of diplomatic breakthroughs that Washington’s professional class insisted were impossible.
Those breakthroughs include a White House-brokered Armenia-Azerbaijan agreement reported earlier this year and a high-profile ceasefire and prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas that followed intensive U.S. diplomacy. These are not campaign slogans; they are concrete, painful compromises that stopped bloodshed and freed hostages, and they were achieved on Trump’s watch.
Conservative commentators from Greg Gutfeld to longtime GOP operatives have rightly pointed out that Trump’s dealmaking—whether the Abraham Accords or recent ceasefires—represents actual diplomacy, not the empty virtue-signaling the left markets as “peace work.” Gutfeld and others have repeatedly mocked the media’s reflexive dismissal of Trump’s diplomatic wins, noting the absurdity of the establishment refusing to credit success simply because they dislike the messenger.
Of course, the predictable chorus of skeptics and establishment wonks rushed to downplay the nomination, reminding voters that the Nobel Committee often rewards aspiration and narrative over durable outcomes. Analysts argue that the committee’s standards and independence make a Trump win unlikely, but that should not be confused with the reality that American leadership produced results where inertia and appeasement failed.
Republican leaders and conservative thinkers, including Newt Gingrich and other allies, have made the case that Trump’s string of agreements materially changed the geopolitical map and deserve recognition, not scorn. If the Nobel is supposed to honor those who reduce war and suffering, then it is perfectly reasonable—indeed patriotic—to demand that institutions acknowledge tangible victories, regardless of their political discomfort.
Patriots know that peace is born of strength and the willingness to sit at the table until a deal is struck, not from moral posturing from elite salons. Whether the Nobel Committee ultimately chooses to reward President Trump or not, hardworking Americans should remember who actually delivered results and held the line for peace. If being a peacemaker means making the hard deals no one else had the guts to cut, then call it what it is and stand proud of American leadership.
