  "account": "During a rally in upstate New York, former President Donald Trump took a departure from electioneering to berate the Norwegian Nobel Committee for awarding the Peace Prize to South African jurist Navanethem \"Navi\" Pillay. Trump claimed that he should have been the recipient, stating that he ended eight wars, though some conflicts he cites were merely tensions, and his role in resolving them remains disputed. The ongoing war with Iran, which he and Israel started, continues to be a burden on his party as they face an unfavorable electorate ahead of the midterm elections. Recent polling shows that 71% of U.S. adults disapprove of Trump's handling of Iran, with 28% approving. Trump described Pillay as \"a liberal person who works at the United Nations who nobody has ever heard of\" and accused Norway of discrediting the Nobel Peace Prize by awarding it to \"a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization.\" This lengthy diatribe overshadowed the rally's intended purpose, which was to promote Republican nominee Bruce Blakeman for the race for New York governor. Blakeman, who is independent of Trump, argues that he is a moderate candidate appealing to Democrats and independents.",
  "summary": "\"The Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization. And we will not forget, Norway.\"",
