During a roundtable on agriculture in Wisconsin, President Donald Trump humorously suggested he would keep an Olympic gold medal presented to him by speed skater Jordan Stolz. Trump declared, 'I’m keeping it. I like gold,' eliciting laughter from the audience. This light-hearted moment recalls another incident earlier this year when Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gifted him her Nobel Peace Prize medal, which the Nobel Committee later clarified cannot be shared or transferred. Despite this, Trump has expressed disappointment over not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize himself, citing his diplomatic achievements. He has received other accolades, including the America First Award and the FIFA Peace Prize, both recognizing his efforts in promoting peace. Although Trump ultimately returned Stolz's medal, the incident highlights his ongoing fascination with awards and recognition.
