Overview

• Trump told reporters at a New Jersey tarmac this week that peace efforts in India, Pakistan and the Middle East establish his worthiness for a Nobel Peace Prize.
• His declared Iran-Israel ceasefire unraveled within hours, and assessments suggest it only set back Iran’s nuclear program by about six months.
• Seth Meyers has criticized Trump’s Nobel campaign, arguing that no president deserves the prize and lampooning Trump’s comparison of peace deals to hot-dog contests.
• Jon Stewart mockingly urged Trump to found his own “Trump Peace Prize,” likening self-awarded honors to his previous meme coin ventures.
• Mark Rutte’s offhand “daddy” label at a Nato summit prompted further mockery from late-night hosts.
