Yesterday at the White House, Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado, who was awarded the prize late last year, gave her medal to the POTUS in recognition of what she described as his committment to Venezuela’s freedom. This came after Trump greenlit an American operation that has seen Venezuela’s leader Nicolás Maduro arrested and taken to the U.S.

    I don’t think Trump has any concept of institutional entities. He thinks the Nobel prize is a physical thing, and the government of Venezuela is a person. He doesn’t think he’s bound by laws because he can’t see or touch them.

      I would love to live in such a simple universe. Like, where people are desperately trying to get the prize itself, like it’s some kind of Duck Tales mcguffin that you have to get in a wacky race with a dozen other competitors to acquire physically.

      Picturing chemists and researchers climbing over each other to be the last one holding the sacred golden disc.

      I have a relative with dementia, sometimes they pick something up and say “this is mine” even though they don’t really know what the object they are holding is or what it is for.

      Same energy coming from Trump

    What a fucking cringe face. He’s such an immature baby man child, he’s demented, and a sociopath. I cannot stand this person and the world would be better off without him.

    It would be great if one day we all woke up and someone decided to subtract.

    She might have given him the medal but she still is the rightful winner. Trump however is so vain, he will say “See, look here … I have it, I’m the peace prize winner. Actually I’m the best prize winner this planet has ever seen. The best the planet will ever see” and even believe so himself.

      That rightful winner as you put her, is a zionist, openly encouraging the US government to run a coup in her country, which they did. Only a braindead delusional committee could think she was a good choice for the nobel prize. As if the nobel committee had any credibility, Obama was an indictment of their understanding, to say nothing of other bad picks.

      They need to liquidate the entire committee and find a way to revamp the process, definitely cut politicians out, and also apologize and explain how they will fix these bad choices, for them to have any credibility outside the sheep.

        I was just thinkging about how so many of their mistakes lead to Trump yesterday. Was thinking that if I could go back and prevent them from giving it to Obama we may never have had to deal with Trump
