Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, mocked President Donald Trump on Thursday by saying he was nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize for repeatedly declaring that he had ended the war in Iran.
Hunter Biden Mocks Trump’s Nobel Prize Claims
"I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize," Hunter Biden wrote on X. "No President in History has ended the same war so many times."

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he…
Biden said Trump had "ended the war with Iran at least 38 times," citing a CNN tally from last month that counted Trump’s repeated claims that the conflict was close to ending or already resolved.
"No President has ever done this before," Biden added. "And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition."
He closed the post with, "Thank you for your attention to this matter!" borrowing one of Trump’s signature signoffs.
Benzinga reached out to the White House for comment but had not heard back at the time of writing.
Trump Keeps Seeking Peace Prize Recognition Again
The jab came as Trump continues to seek recognition for his foreign policy record. Trump has repeatedly argued that he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, an award that has gone to several U.S. presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama while they were in office. Jimmy Carter won after leaving the White House.
Trump did not win the prize last year. Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado received it, then later presented her Nobel medal to Trump after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January. The Nobel Institute has said the award itself cannot be transferred or shared.
Since his father left office, Hunter Biden has become a more active social media voice, frequently needling Republicans and joking about his own past struggles with drug addiction.
Before leaving office, Joe Biden pardoned his son, who had been convicted in 2024 on three federal gun charges tied to his purchase and possession of a firearm while using drugs.
Iran Conflict Still Keeps Political Stakes Unsettled
Meanwhile, the Iran conflict remains unsettled. The Trump administration and Iran agreed Sunday to resume peace talks amid renewed fighting and tensions over commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Vice President JD Vance said on Wednesday that Washington could restart military action if Iran tries to rebuild its nuclear program or attack commercial vessels again.
