PresidentDonald Trumpis certain that he will not win a Nobel Peace Prize.
On Wednesday, Trump, 72, revealed that he does not think he will be honored with the prestigious award, something he believes he would be in the running for as heworked to improve relations with North Korea, and compared it to being robbed of an Emmy Award for his former reality show,The Apprentice.
“Well, they’ll never give it to me. We should have gotten the Emmy forThe Apprentice, you know?” Trump toldThe New York Post.
From 2004 to 2006, the business competition show was nominated for an Emmy eight separate times but never won the award, despite it being one of the top programs on television at the time. After Trump left the show in 2015,Arnold Schwarzenegger, 71, took over as host.
“I had the No. 1 show,The Apprentice,” Trump continued on the interview with thePost. “Arnold Schwarzenegger blew it. Big movie star. It was dead in two nights. I had it for 14 seasons.”

The President even recalled the specific momentThe Apprenticewas up for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program in both 2004 and 2005 but lost toThe Amazing Race,whom he claimed was a “terrible” show.
“So they’re saying ‘He’s done a magnificent job, this show has gone to the top of the heap’… and the winner is, and I stood up … and they said ‘Amazing Race’and I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding?'” Trump admitted. “That show was terrible.Amazing Racegot it becauseAmazing Racewas the establishment.”
As for a possible return toThe Apprentice, Trump does not believe the redemption is likely. “No. No. Arnold put that out of business,” he told thePost.
