Well, last time they gave it to a young lady who was a fabulous person. And she said she didn't deserve it, that I deserved it. And she gave it to me and I said, wow, what an honor. I settled 8 wars. Another one is coming. I got all the hostages back. I did things that nobody else has ever done. I'm not bragging. I'm just telling you the facts. No president probably has settled any wars. I settled eight wars and big ones. Big ones saved millions and millions of lives. And when Maria gave me that Nobel Prize, she said not only should he get it for this year, but there's never been anybody in the history of the Nobel Prize, it deserves it more. I did. I settled eight wars. Uh, and I've stopped maybe the total obliteration of the world because I, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. ## Post analysis Verdict: 50% · Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash · Checked on: 10/10/2026 **Reasoning:** - The post is a news-style report (Al Arabiya English) that accurately attributes the claims to Trump — the attached video shows him making these remarks, so the framing "Trump renewed his call for the Nobel Peace Prize" is consistent with the quoted evidence. The specific October-2026 timing itself is unverified, but the remarks are directly evidenced[^1]. - The most prominent and central element — the headline quote "I settled eight wars" — is **false**. Fact-checks of the near-identical "ended eight wars" claim found several cited pairs were not active wars and the US role was overstated[^2]. This is the post's lead, so it weighs heavily. - The companion boast that no prior US president settled any war is likewise **false** (multiple presidents ended/settled conflicts)[^3], rated "Pants on Fire." - The hostage element ("I got all the hostages back") is vague and uncorroborated[^4], and the "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon" line is an unverifiable prediction[^5]; both count as neither true nor false. - The María Corina Machado thread is the strongest part: the 2025 Peace Prize did go to a woman[^6], and she did dedicate/offer her prize to Trump and say he deserved it[^7][^8][^9][^10]. Note the framing "gave me that Nobel Prize" is an overstatement (the prize cannot be transferred) — a nuance the post repeats uncorrected. - Net: the post's own reportage is transparent and attributed, and some supporting facts hold up, but it prominently amplifies a false "eight wars"/"no other president" narrative without context. The false headline claim is central, pulling the overall message well below the average of the individual claim scores. **Overall validity**: 50% [^1]: [US President Donald Trump renewed his call for the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2026.](#89452529-860b-4a05-a497-33df4541bba7) [^2]: [US President Donald Trump settled eight wars.](#0ead2cf5-4567-47e0-a742-fa65ab42f5cb) [^3]: [No US president other than Donald Trump has probably settled any wars.](#92ef3885-929c-4806-bfdb-1a6a36ddd720) [^4]: [US President Donald Trump recovered all hostages.](#7159d756-13bb-4873-86ba-a024703b0cf2) [^5]: [Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.](#80a4e77e-a6b9-4dc4-b773-2a2eaa87f2f6) [^6]: [The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a woman.](#38264cb3-42ca-4cb1-97a7-cfcf590bf6ee) [^7]: [The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner stated that she did not deserve the prize and that US President Donald Trump deserved it.](#4e625abd-46ad-4cc3-bdbc-cb3e127256da) [^8]: [Maria stated that US President Donald Trump deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more than anyone in the history of the Nobel Prize.](#0294aaeb-8673-460c-a44f-7b1ac91eaac6) [^9]: [The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner gave her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump.](#84636a3a-8167-43aa-b751-336c8fa989c4) [^10]: [A person named Maria gave US President Donald Trump a Nobel Prize.](#0af20b26-4ead-49ae-adf5-25382ed0fd01) ## Claims found (10) ### 1. US President Donald Trump renewed his call for the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2026. — Unknown Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash · Checked on: 10/10/2026 · Detail: /claim/89452529-860b-4a05-a497-33df4541bba7 Based on my research, here is my assessment: - The verified-claims database contains no entry for this specific claim. Its closest entries concern María Corina Machado (the 2025 laureate) dedicating/offering her prize to Trump (85–90%) and confirming the 2025 winner was a woman (100%) — none address a renewed *call* by Trump in October 2026[^1][^2][^3]. - The professional fact-check database documents a long pattern of Trump–Nobel episodes: a January 2026 message tying Greenland to Norway's failure to award him the prize (rated True)[^4], a September 2026 "Nobel prize letter" to Norway[^5], and multiple debunked/satirical items (Danish parliament video[^6], "bomb Norway"[^7], "disqualified"[^8]) — but none reports a renewed call specifically in October 2026. - Web search and page-extraction tools returned no usable results for the October 2026 timing, so the date-specific element of the claim could not be corroborated. - The claim is plausible given Trump's well-documented, repeated pursuit of the Nobel, but I found no source confirming the specific October 2026 event, and I will not guess a figure without one. **Overall validity**: Unknown [^1]: [The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner gave her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump.](#84636a3a-8167-43aa-b751-336c8fa989c4) [^2]: [A person named Maria gave US President Donald Trump a Nobel Prize.](#0af20b26-4ead-49ae-adf5-25382ed0fd01) [^3]: [The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a woman.](#38264cb3-42ca-4cb1-97a7-cfcf590bf6ee) [^4]: [Real message by Trump links Greenland threats to Nobel Peace ...](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-norway-greenland-message/) [^5]: [Fact Check: Norway's Prime Minister Did NOT Rip Apart Trump's ...](https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2026/09/fact-check-norway-prime-minister-did-not-rip-apart-trumps-nobel-prize-letter-with-red-pen-corrections-text-message.html) [^6]: [Old clip of Danish parliament session misrepresented as lawmakers ...](https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.94E33ZQ) [^7]: [Defusing claim Trump warned he'd bomb Norway if he doesn't win ...](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-nobel-peace-prize-bomb-norway/) [^8]: [Trump has been disqualified from receiving Nobel Prize?

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a woman. — 100% Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash · Checked on: 10/10/2026 · Detail: /claim/38264cb3-42ca-4cb1-97a7-cfcf590bf6ee **Reasoning:** - The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader[^1][^2]. - Multiple professional fact-checks refer to "her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize," confirming she is the recipient[^1][^2]. - María Corina Machado is a woman, so the claim is accurate. **Overall validity**: 100% [^1]: [Did María Corina Machado dedicate her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump?](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/machado-dedicate-nobel-prize-trump/) [^2]: [Did María Corina Machado say she wants to give Trump her Nobel ...](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-machado-nobel-peace-prize/) ### 3. The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner stated that she did not deserve the prize and that US President Donald Trump deserved it. — 85% Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash · Checked on: 10/10/2026 · Detail: /claim/4e625abd-46ad-4cc3-bdbc-cb3e127256da **Reasoning:** - The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado — the "she" in the claim[^1]. - Snopes rated **True** the claim that Machado *dedicated* her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Donald Trump (October 2025)[^2]. - Snopes separately rated **True** the claim that in a January 2026 Fox News interview Machado *said she wanted to give* her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump[^3]. - The verified-claims database rates the near-identical statement "The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner gave her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump" at 85%, and "A person named Maria gave US President Donald Trump a Nobel Prize" at 90%[^4][^5]. - Machado directing/offering her prize to Trump strongly supports the claim's substance (that she felt Trump, not she, deserved it); no source contradicts it. The only nuance is that the sources describe the act as "dedicated" / "said she wanted to give" rather than a verbatim quote "I did not deserve it." **Overall validity**: 85% [^1]: [The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a woman.](#38264cb3-42ca-4cb1-97a7-cfcf590bf6ee) [^2]: [Did María Corina Machado dedicate her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump?](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/machado-dedicate-nobel-prize-trump/) [^3]: [Did María Corina Machado say she wants to give Trump her Nobel ...](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-machado-nobel-peace-prize/) [^4]: [A person named Maria gave US President Donald Trump a Nobel Prize.](#0af20b26-4ead-49ae-adf5-25382ed0fd01) [^5]: [The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner gave her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump.](#84636a3a-8167-43aa-b751-336c8fa989c4) ### 4.

No source contradicts the claim. - Web searches for further detail were unavailable, but the two independent Snopes reviews directly address the claim's core. **Overall validity**: 85% [^1]: [The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a woman.](#38264cb3-42ca-4cb1-97a7-cfcf590bf6ee) [^2]: [Did María Corina Machado dedicate her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump?](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/machado-dedicate-nobel-prize-trump/) [^3]: [Did María Corina Machado say she wants to give Trump her Nobel ...](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-machado-nobel-peace-prize/) ### 5.

US President Donald Trump recovered all hostages. — Unknown Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash · Checked on: 10/10/2026 · Detail: /claim/7159d756-13bb-4873-86ba-a024703b0cf2 **Reasoning:** - The claim "US President Donald Trump recovered all hostages" is sweeping and vague — it does not specify which hostages, from where, or when, making it hard to pin to a verifiable event. - No entry in the verified-claims database matches this claim. - The only directly related professional fact-check found is a FactCheck.org review of a similar Trump boast — that his administration "got 58 hostages released from various hostile countries without paying any money, or giving up anything" — which was rated **False** (the administration did conduct prisoner swaps and give up concessions)[^1]. - A Snopes review likewise found that Biden, not Trump, secured the release of more hostages from Gaza (\~140)[^2], further undercutting a broad "Trump recovered all hostages" framing, though it addresses a different specific comparison. - However, none of these sources directly evaluates the literal claim that Trump "recovered **all** hostages," and no source confirms that any complete set of hostages was recovered by him. - Because the claim is too vague to evaluate (no specified hostage group or timeframe) and no source directly confirms or refutes it as stated, a defensible percentage cannot be assigned. **Overall validity**: Unknown [^1]: [Trump Swapped Prisoners, Too](https://www.factcheck.org/2022/12/trump-swapped-prisoners-too/) [^2]: [Did Biden or Trump secure release of more hostages from Gaza ...](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-biden-gaza-hostages/) ### 7.

This exact idea was made by Trump ("We've never had a president that solved one war, not one war") and rated **Pants on Fire** by PolitiFact[^1]. - The verified-claims database likewise rates the "Trump settled eight wars" framing at 0% validity, noting several of the cited pairs were not active wars and that the framing overstates the US role[^2]. - Historically, multiple US presidents have ended or settled wars/conflicts — e.g., Theodore Roosevelt mediating the Russo-Japanese War (Nobel Peace Prize), Woodrow Wilson and the WWI armistice, Franklin Roosevelt/Truman and WWII, Nixon and the Vietnam withdrawal, and Carter's Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt. So the assertion that no other US president ever settled a war is false. **Overall validity**: 0% [^1]: [No, Donald Trump isn't the first US president to solve a war](https://politifact.com/factchecks/2025/oct/17/donald-trump/president-wars-ended-us-roosevelt-carter/) [^2]: [US President Donald Trump settled eight wars.](#0ead2cf5-4567-47e0-a742-fa65ab42f5cb) ### 8.
