Trump claims he settled eight wars and stopped Iran from getting a nuclear weapon
Trump says he secured the release of Israeli hostages, won a war in Venezuela, and prevented the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, while expressing frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump claimed he settled eight wars and prevented the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He also expressed disbelief that he has not received the Nobel Peace Prize for his foreign policy record.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “I settled 8 WARS, am close to ending or settling 2 more, got all of the Israeli hostages back, including the final 28, both living and dead, had hundreds of hostages, from countries all over the World, released and sent back home, won a war in Venezuela, and captured the violent dictator who so viciously ran that country, and stopped the number one state sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran, from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon — AND MUCH MORE! Yet, with all of that I, or the United States of America, did not get the Noble Peace Prize. WOW!” on October 10, 2026 at 8:04 AM ET.
This is Trump’s 13th message released today, and the last post was 5 hours ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 17 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 45 of his 414 posts over the last 30 days classified as Foreign Policy posts.

Trump highlighted his stated foreign policy achievements to question why the Nobel committee overlooked him and the United States. The message centered on his assertions of capturing a violent dictator in Venezuela and returning the final 28 Israeli hostages.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
