There is a lot of conjecture and talk on social media about the Nobel Peace Prize recipient, which will be announced in just a few hours. One viral video from Israel has gotten a lot of attention and sparked a lot of conversation among all the posts.
The video shows a bunch of Israeli farmers using tractors to make a huge message in a field. The aerial view at the end of the clip shows the huge sculpture that says “Nobel 4 Trump” in clear letters.
Many news outlets said that the gesture was a thank you to President Donald Trump for helping to make a recent peace deal between Israel and Hamas. According to Fox News, the farmers carved the message to show how thankful they were for the diplomatic breakthrough. Also, local news reports said that a group of veterans from the 1973 Yom Kippur War, which was fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria, put together the huge homage.
Israeli PM Gives Support Again
When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted the video, it officially got more attention. He also endorsed Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize again. The official X profile of the Israeli leader’s office tweeted, “Give Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize—he deserves it!” This is just one more step in Trump’s long quest for the prize, which he has talked about many times.
Trump Talks About His Nobel Chances
When the New York Times asked Trump about his chances of ultimately winning the prize, he was careful but said something that sounded like he thought there might be bias against him.
“I don’t know,” the ex-president said. “I mean, a lot of people say that no matter what I do, they won’t give it up because you know what I mean, I’m of a certain persuasion.” He went on to say that he wasn’t “politicking for it,” but that “a lot of people are.” He has said before that he helped ease tensions between India and Pakistan, among other foreign policy successes that he thinks deserve attention.
People on social media have very different reactions.
The surprise video got a lot of different and quite strong reactions on social media right away.
Supporters said he deserved the medal because he tried, and one person said, “At least Trump tried to do something, and as we can see, he did.” Good job. Another way to say it is, “Trump deserves that.”
But others were quick to speak out against the proposal. One post said, “Are you guys stupid?” Trump is starting fights in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland. Another user said flat out, “No way.” In the wonderful US of A, Trump has done something terrible to people.
