Donald Trump has hit out at Norway in another sweary rant after his Nobel Prize snub.

The US President told a political rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday that immigrants from Norway are not welcome in the United States, days before next week's midterm elections.

The US President escalated his invective against the Scandinavian country, calling it a "s**t house country" and complaining that the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, has not awarded him a Peace Prize.

President Trump has long coveted the prize and made no secret of his aspiration to win it. He has previously heaped pressure on the committee to give him the prestigious accolade.

Attributing recent unrest in France to immigration, Trump said he would welcome immigrants from some countries but not from Norway "because ‌I didn't get the Nobel Prize ... So I don't want anybody from Norway."

"Norway has become a s**t house country, actually," Trump said, using a term that he has previously applied to Haiti, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

There was no indication that the Trump administration was adopting new official policy on Norwegian immigrants.

Trump earlier previously called the failure to give him a Nobel Peace Prize an "indelible stain" on Norway.

Earlier this month Former UN human rights chief Navi Pillay took a swipe at Donald Trump after winning the prize , joking that she would offer to share it with him.

The South African judge and legal expert was awarded the prize for being "instrumental in ensuring war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted", according to Nobel committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes.

At the Nuremberg court where Pillay was attending an academic and legal conference, she addressed attendees and made a joke at Mr Trump's expense. Walking into a room of applause, she said: "If you clap a little bit more, I may share this prize with Trump."

Norway is among the highest-income countries as measured by GDP per capita, according to International Monetary Fund data.

The country's sovereign wealth fund posted a record profit of 1.75 trillion Norwegian crowns ($184.3 billion) for the first half of 2026.

Donald Trump praised rapper Nicki Minaj's "beautiful ass" during a political rally on Sunday.

The US president travelled with Minaj to Port Huron in Michigan on Air Force One, amid speculation that she could be named the new White House press secretary.

During the rally, Mr Trump said: "By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before – Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss."

Minaj then stood and waved to a cheering crowd, while the president added that he hoped she was not "insulted" by his remark.

The rapper, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, then joined him on stage and said that he "changed the energy of the country".

Well, I guess it would be entertaining...

Fuck shareholders. They can all rot in Hell

- It's not a joke. He is serious -

Donald Trump wants to turn the White House press briefing room into a swimming pool and kick reporters out of the West Wing.

The US president has repeatedly discussed plans to move the press out of the White House, according to The New York Times.

The James S Brady press briefing room does sit on the site of a swimming pool, built during Franklin D Roosevelt's presidency.

Mr Trump pitched the idea to Karoline Leavitt, the former press secretary, as something which could be "her last legacy", the newspaper reported.

He raised the proposal several times during the final months of her tenure, according to three people with knowledge of the discussions, before she left in August.

Mr Trump has previously floated the idea of turning the briefing room into a swimming pool.

On Sept 27, he shared two images on Truth Social. One showed the briefing room as it is now, captioned "Fake News", while another showed the space as a swimming pool, captioned "FDR Pool".

Bill Pulte, the director of the federal housing finance agency who often spends weekends with Mr Trump at his golf clubs, has also been a prominent advocate of the proposal, according to the NYT.

Mr Pulte has even produced a foam-board rendering of the briefing room converted into a pool area, the newspaper reported.

"All options remain on the table and we will make an announcement when appropriate."

"From the moment I arrived in the White House, I believed it was a national security threat to have the press literally surround the Oval Office," Steve Bannon told the NYT this month.

Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that he would serve as "the arbitrator" of decisions in the justice department's new anti-fraud program that awards compensation to those who submit tips resulting in conviction or significant federal enforcement.

While announcing the new program alongside JD Vance, the vice-president, who leads the White House's taskforce to eliminate fraud, the president told reporters he had a solution for situations where multiple people submit a tip for the same alleged fraud.

"I was just thinking, when you do these things, sometimes there's a dispute as to who turned 'em in and who didn't turn 'em in, who's supposed to get what and when, you know," Trump told reporters.

"So I am going to do something, which I think people will like, I will be the arbitrator of all of these decisions. In other words, I'll determine whether or not the person is deserving, and I will be very generous, believe me," the US president said, resulting in laughter from the group.

It is unclear whether Trump was being genuine about his new role. The Department of Justice website says the department has "sole discretion" in issuing rewards and exercising its authority in the program.

When asked whether the president's statement was true, the White House referred the Guardian to Trump's Oval Office comments.

The Guardian has asked the justice departmentfor comment.

The new fraud whistleblower incentive program gives anyone who submits a tip the opportunity to receive a financial reward of up to $30,000 for tips in the "charging stage of a criminal case".

The government already gives financial rewards to whistleblowers who file lawsuits against individuals and companies committing financial fraud through the False Claims Act. If the government intervenes in a suit and prosecutes it, whistleblowers can obtain 15% to 25% of the financial penalties.

Vance said the new program differs from the False Claims Act because it expands the opportunity for financial reward in cases of fraud related to the government.

"Over 99% of the fraud that we're finding in the federal government isn't covered by the False Claims Act," Vance said.

The new program also provides whistleblower rewards at an earlier stage of investigation, rather than requiring it to result in large fines or forfeiture.

Vance said he and Trump decided to create the program to incentivize more people to report fraud like Nick Shirley, a conservative influencer who went viral earlier this year for accusing Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota of rampant fraud.

During his Oval Office announcement, Trump indicated the program would result in whistleblowers obtaining 1% of however much fraud was uncovered, insisting people could make "millions and millions" of dollars from submitting tips.

However, the justice department website says the program is limited to a $30,000 reward.

"You'll get your money immediately, but I'll make the determination," Trump added. "So if two people are fighting over it, maybe they'll split it or maybe whatever, but I'll make that determination. It'll be done expeditiously and fairly."

Trump encouraged members of the media to participate in the program by investigating and reporting instances of fraud. He said the government would be willing to give reporters the financial reward, so long as their respective outlet allowed it.

The message delivered by a president during a high-stakes midterm campaign can be critical.

As President Trump travels the country ahead of this year’s elections, he might focus on selling Americans on how he will bring the Iran war to a close, or control rising prices.

But in a puzzling approach, at some recent rallies he has instead started his often-meandering remarks by effusing about the physical appearances of other men and, more rarely, finding fault with them.

Mr. Trump has long marveled at the physical appearance of some men, sometimes gravitating to a favored phrase to describe men whose looks he appreciates: straight from “central casting.”

But lately Mr. Trump has been particularly quick to gush about male bodies. Here are five times the ever-unscripted president has hailed or assailed men for the way they look in recent months.

‘He’s got a jawline’ As Mr. Trump held a rally in Highland Heights, Ky., on Saturday, he quickly recalled meeting the local Republican nominee for the House, Ed Gallrein, and said he looked like he had come from “central casting.”

Mr. Gallrein defeated a Republican critic of Mr. Trump, Representative Thomas Massie, in a primary in May. Mr. Trump had long targeted Mr. Massie for defeat.

“I needed somebody good, and this guy walks through the door,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Gallrein. “I said, look at this beautiful guy.”

Then Mr. Trump turned his focus to a Republican in a neighboring state, Senator Jon Husted of Ohio. Mr. Trump said he recently learned that Mr. Husted played college football. He recalled looking carefully at the physique of the senator, whom he campaigned with on Monday.

“I never did that with a man before,” Mr. Trump said. “I examined his ass, and then I looked at his shoulders. I looked at his feet. I looked at his hand. I looked at his jawline. Studied him. He’s got a jawline.”

Mr. Trump delivered a similar commentary at the rally on Monday.

“I looked, and I watched up and down,” Mr. Trump said earlier in the week. Speaking directly to Mr. Husted from the stage on Monday, Mr. Trump said: “Congratulations. Now they finally know.”

On Saturday, Mr. Trump claimed without evidence that Mr. Husted, who is in a tough race, had gained “9 or 10 points since I talked about that.”

‘A good-looking man — and he’s all man’ Mr. Trump was not five minutes into his remarks at a rally in Dalton, Ga., on Friday before he turned to an assessment of the physical attributes of Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, a Democrat, and his Republican challenger, Representative Mike Collins.

Mr. Trump started with Mr. Ossoff.

“Somebody said he’s a good-looking man,” Mr. Trump said of the senator. “I don’t think he’s a good-looking man. I actually think Mike Collins is a good-looking man — and he’s all man. He’s all man. I’m not sure about Ossoff.”

The president added that he thought Mr. Ossoff looked like Pee-wee Herman, the bow-tied comedic character created by the actor Paul Reubens.

Mr. Trump then addressed Rick Jackson, the Republican nominee for Georgia governor.

“I actually think that Rick Jackson’s a very handsome, distinguished, beautiful-looking guy,” the president said.

Later in his remarks, Mr. Trump turned his focus to the military, saying that because he was president he spent time with soldiers from “central casting.”

“We’re allowed to have big, strong, handsome soldiers now,” the president said.

He declared, “you couldn’t hire guys that look this good,” and added it was an experience he hadn’t had at Trump Tower.

“There are some reasons to be president,” he said.

‘He may not be the best-looking guy I’ve ever seen’ Mr. Trump’s allies have not been safe from critical assessments.

At his midterm convention in Dallas last month, the president made clear he disapproved of the appearance of the Republican nominee for Senate in the state, Ken Paxton, but urged his supporters to back Mr. Paxton anyway.

“Some may not like the way he dresses,” Mr. Trump said. “I don’t.”

“He may not be the best-looking guy I’ve ever seen,” Mr. Trump continued. “But you know what he is? He’s the greatest attorney general in America.”

Mr. Trump said, “I am very sorry, Ken, I hated to do it.”

The president suggested his advisers had told him not to comment on the way Mr. Paxton looked. “They said, ‘Sir, you can’t say that,’” Mr. Trump said.

But he said he had to deliver the assessment because “it’s true.”

‘Very handsome guy’ When Mr. Trump took the stage in Suffern, N.Y., in May to campaign with Representative Mike Lawler of New York, a vulnerable Republican, the president was introduced by the New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart.

In his remarks, Mr. Trump compared Mr. Dart’s appearance with that of the commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick.

He said Mr. Lutnick “looks good, looks handsome — reasonably.”

“He doesn’t look like Jaxson,” Mr. Trump added. “I’d rather look like Jaxson. I’ll take Jaxson any day.”
