Donald Trump has said it would be “an honor” take Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize if she offered it to him, as he prepares to meet the exiled politician next week.
Machado has been in hiding due to persistent threats on her life, emerging only briefly in Oslo after a three-day mission in which she was smuggled out of the country with the help of the U.S. military for the Nobel ceremony.
She’s pretty pro-trump, she probably will give it to him; it seems like an incredibly obvious bribe.
Is she actually pro-Trump or does she just really need his good graces? (genuine question, I don’t know much about Machado)
She’s pretty pro-trump, but to my eye the distinction between if she’s courting trump because she just wants the influence he’ll bring or if she genuinely believes in his insanity it seems like the same result to me - she’s willing to treat with a murdering pedophile wannabe tyrant for power, that’s pretty damning on it’s own.
