Trump sueña con el Premio Nobel de la Paz, pero sus fracasos económicos podrían truncarlo

El expresidente estadounidense aspira al máximo galardón de paz mundial, pero su legado económico amenaza con socavar seriamente sus posibilidades.

Las políticas comerciales disruptivas y las guerras arancelarias durante su mandato dejaron cicatrices profundas en la economía global que los comités de selección difícilmente pasarán por alto.

Mientras los mercados evalúan el impacto de su posible regreso, los inversores recuerdan cómo su impredecibilidad generó volatilidad sin precedentes—algo que los puristas del Nobel consideran incompatible con la estabilidad requerida para un premio de paz.

Al final, incluso en política, el dinero habla más fuerte que las buenas intenciones.

Nobel economists attack Trump’s economic legacy

Trump even ranted about the whole thing on Truth Social back in June. He wrote, “No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!”

But this week, the focus won’t be on peace talks. It’ll be about the economy. And the ones doing the talking are the same Nobel Laureates he wants to stand beside. They’re gathering in Lindau, Germany, for their annual meeting. And what they’re saying about Trump isn’t good.

Joseph Stiglitz, one of the world’s most recognized economists and a previous Nobel winner, told The Guardian the U.S. under Trump had become “a scary place to invest.”

He pointed to the president’s tariff policies as the problem, warning that they could lead to stagflation, a toxic combo of high inflation and no growth. He said the Federal Reserve is “clearly worried” about this.

Roger Myerson, another Laureate attending the Lindau event, focused on Trump’s political behavior. In The Hill, he wrote that “when large groups of voters have become convinced that only one party really cares about them, then they may feel no stake in democracy itself… and support their leader in shaking off its inconvenient constitutional restraints.”

And then there’s Simon Johnson, another voice in the Nobel circle. He joined the criticism too, speaking on the Nobel Prize Conversations podcast.

He said Trump’s push for American isolationism is “destroying human capital” and giving “a massive advantage to geopolitical competitors.” He called the policy “a self-defeating foolish action by the Trump administration.”

Despite all this backlash, Trump has at least one unexpected voice offering him a slim chance. Hillary Clinton, his former rival and ex-First Lady, said something most didn’t expect.

In a recent interview, she said that if Trump could end the Ukraine-Russia war “without putting Ukraine in a position where it must concede its territory to the aggressor… I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.”

But good luck with that.
