Trump: Countdown to Nobel Peace Prize
Donald Trump hastily brokers a Gaza ceasefire, touting himself as global peacemaker ahead of the Nobel announcement, but doubts grow over timing, motives, and his long-standing prize obsession. | Today’s Political Cartoon.

His “historic” deal halts fighting between Israel and Hamas, trading hostages and prisoners, yet it is obvious that the spectacle serves only one purpose in Trump’s mind: Trump’s obsession with claiming the Nobel he’s demanded since 2016.
Behind the fanfare, questions persist: nominations closed months ago, and his pressure on Norway’s committee may backfire. Has Trump, who boasts he’s “ended wars everywhere”, done enough just in time for Friday?
