## Key points

- Melania briefly outranked Trump in 2027 Nobel prediction markets.
- Both were later listed at 1.2 per cent.
- Trump criticised Norway after missing the 2026 prize.

## Summary

Donald Trump has again complained about missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize, while his wife Melania has briefly ranked ahead of him in prediction markets for the 2027 award. The episode highlights both the couple’s public interest in the prize and the uncertainty around claims that Melania helped broker a ceasefire.

Melania’s odds on Kalshi reportedly rose to 4 per cent before falling to 1.2 per cent, tying her with Trump; other names listed include Yulia Navalnaya, Pope Leo XIV and Elon Musk. Trump said he expected to win the 2026 prize for what he described as settling eight wars, but it went to former UN human rights chief Navanethem Pillay. He also criticised Norway, conflating the country with the independent Nobel committee, and had previously missed the 2025 award, later receiving the medal from winner María Corina Machado.
