The Nobel Peace Prize Announcement

The segment was adeptly designed for viral sharing on platforms like X, Instagram, and YouTube.

Reactions and Public Perception
The broadcast was perceived by some viewers as a “reality check,” while others viewed it as typical Hollywood satire. Discussions online contrasted Trump’s rhetoric with his domestic policies, such as deploying ICE and the National Guard within U.S. cities.
