President Trump sent out a video via tweet on Monday with highlights of his four years in office, which included an image of a Nobel prize superimposed on a photo of himself with other world leaders at the White House.

But, of course, Trump hasn’t won a Nobel prize, and as it turns out, the Nobel prize in the video isn’t even a Nobel Peace Prize, which seems to be what he was going for.

The Nobel prize in question appears around the 44-second of the minute-long video:

Of course, people on Twitter were quick to point out that Trump hasn’t won a Nobel prize, and yet, the placement on the video might have been, well, misleading.
NPR’s David Gura filled in some details, characterizing it as Trump featuring “the Nobel Peace Prize superimposed over photographs of him with the prime minister of Israel, and the foreign ministers of Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.”

But, as it turns out, it may not be the actual Nobel Peace Prize after all.
John Kraljevich, a self-proclaimed “professional medal guy,” took to Twitter to note that he’s been in the presence of a Nobel Peace Prize, and the medal in the Trump video is for several other different categories of the annual award.
For good measure, he posted what an actual Nobel Peace Prize looks like.

Some also pointed out that the video appeared to have the flavor of a campaign video about it…even though the election happened nearly two months ago.
Frequent online Trump needler Jeff Tiedrich took the opportunity to tweet, “You’re still campaigning for a job you lost eight weeks ago. Get over it already. Don’t even bother to leave Mar-a-Lago. We’ll get someone to pack your crap and mail it to you.”
