I found this claim to be misleading because of the keywords “trolls” and “snub”.
Articles like “Why Trump Should Have Won the Nobel Peace Prize” by Batya Ungar-Sargon (10/11/2025, https://www.thefp.com/p/why-trump-should-have-won-the-nobel) claim that Norway “refused to award President Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize”.
Cnn: “Shortly after the Nobel Prize announcement, the administration reacted negatively.
‘The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace,’ White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a post on social media.” This reaction by the White House places pressure on the world to award the prize to Trump (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/09/norway-braces-for-trumps-reaction-if-he-does-not-win-nobel-peace-prize#:~:text=“Donald Trump is taking the,during his UN address – video), and implies a “snub”- but ultimately it is a subjective contest and many people will always have differing opinions on who deserved to have won.

In the above article, Peace prize winner Machado says she dedicates her award to Trump because it’s “absolutely fair, and that’s what the Venezuelan people feel,” adding that the US leader is addressing her country’s “tragic situation.”
“I absolutely think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize because of (the) incredible events that are taking place currently in the world,” she said.
On October 10, 2025, the day news came out about the Peace prize winner, “Trump says Venezuela's opposition leader Machado called him after winning Nobel Peace Prize”.
Globalnews provides a clip of the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJKDCM2zx54
Trump: “the person who actually got the Nobel Prize… called me and said that I’m accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it, that- a very nice thing to do. I, I didn’t, I didn’t say then give it to me though because, I think she might have she was very nice, and I’ve been, you know I’ve been helping her along the way. She- they’ve, they need a lot of help in Venezuela. It’s a… basic disaster. So, uh, and you could also say it was given out for ’24 and I was running for office in ’24. You know all of the transactions that we did in terms of closing but, uh, there are those that say we did so much, that they should have done it. But I don’t take- I’m happy because I saved millions of lives, many millions of lives”.
Calling it a “snub” makes this claim an opinion. “Loss” would have been more appropriate.
