After Nobel disappointment, Trump says his writing deserves a Pulitzer
What Happened
US President Trump said at a rally in South Carolina that he believed he deserved a Pulitzer Prize for his writing, while again complaining about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump criticised journalists who won Pulitzers for reporting on Russian interference in the 2016 US election, arguing that their reporting was wrong. The Pulitzer Prize Board has previously reviewed complaints concerning those awards and stood by its decisions.
Key Takeaways
Trump did not specify which of his own writings he believes deserved a Pulitzer, but used the remark to renew his criticism of the media and major awards that he says have overlooked him.
