Fact check: Are there any US Presidents who were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize but did not receive it?

1. Summary of the results

Yes, there are US Presidents who have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize but did not receive it. The most prominent example is Donald Trump, who has received multiple nominations but never won the prize.

According to the analyses, Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on several occasions:

• Six nominations since 2018 ^[1]
• Specific nominations in 2020, 2023, and 2025 ^[2]
• Listed as a nominee for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize ^[3]

Despite these multiple nominations, Trump has not received the award, making him a clear example of a US President nominated but not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize ^{[2] [1]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important historical context about US Presidents and the Nobel Peace Prize:

• Four US Presidents have actually won the Nobel Peace Prize ^[4], establishing that American presidents can and do receive this honor
• The analyses reveal that Trump has made public complaints about not receiving the prize despite his claimed diplomatic achievements ^{[4] [2]}
• There may be other US Presidents who were nominated but didn't win, though the sources focus primarily on Trump's case

The question also doesn't address the nomination process itself - the Nobel Peace Prize allows for nominations from qualified individuals, but winning requires selection by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, creating a natural gap between nominees and winners.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question appears neutral and factual, seeking information rather than making claims. However, there are potential areas where bias could emerge:

• The question could be interpreted as implying that nomination should lead to winning, when in reality the Nobel Peace Prize is highly competitive with many more nominees than winners each year
• Trump himself has expressed frustration about not winning despite his nominations, suggesting he believes his diplomatic efforts warranted the prize ^{[4] [2]}
• The focus on Trump in recent sources ^[5] may reflect current political discourse rather than a comprehensive historical analysis of all nominated but unsuccessful US Presidents

The analyses suggest that Trump's case is well-documented, but there may be other historical examples not covered in these particular sources, indicating the need for broader research to fully answer the question.
