Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was ridiculed on Thursday after he suggested that the Nobel Peace Prize be renamed the Trump Prize after President Donald Trump, according to reports.
Graham shared the idea on Fox News during a Wednesday night episode of "Hannity."
Trump hasn't been shy about his desire to win the famed international prize. He's never been awarded it, but he frequently has claimed he deserves it and has been critical of the selection process, particularly when the award was given to other recipients. In 2025, he said "I deserve it, but they will never give it to me," during an Oval Office press conference, according to The Independent.
In January, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado traveled to Washington, D.C. to present Trump with the Nobel Prize she won in 2025 for her work to spread democracy in Venezuela. Trump said he planned to keep the prize, although he had not won it.
The internet was quick to call Graham out for his comments.
