It is not a contest. Potential recipients are not questioned by the committee. Many people can nominate someone for the award, but that does not make any of the nominees a contestant. There is no contest.
Rather, the Nobel Committee considers the actions and work of people around the world. What has a person done to promote peace and diplomacy? How has the person overcome challenges to help pacify a dangerous situation? Has a person demonstrated a true desire for world peace? Is a person someone who has dedicated his or her life to promote a peaceful world?
Questions like that. The committee doesn't communicate with a potential awardee. Instead it looks at the accomplishments of those under consideration. Then, it makes its choice. Then, that choice is made public and the recipient is notified.
Donald J. Trump, I'm certain, was never really considered for the 2025 Peace Prize. Nominated, but not considered by the committee. Indeed, his accomplishments are more against peace than for it. He is totally unqualified for such an award.
He did not lose the Nobel Peace Prize. Nobody loses it. He was not awarded that prize. It's that simple.
