The funny thing is that the other day the Nobel Committee explicitly stated (because of this whole situation) that Nobel prizes cannot be shared, bought, given away to someone else, it transferred in any way.
Not that such an explicit rule would stop Trump from claiming her prize. But it does make such an action look even more childish and pitiful.
Bullied? Hardly. Machado has been offering her Nobel prize for some time to Trump. So much that the Nobel prize committee had to publicly announced that the prizes cannot be transferred or gifted or such.
Not his first time. In Trump 1.0, he visited a wounded soldier in the hospital (back when he was trying to pretend to care), and he talked up the kid's Purple Heart until the kid finally offered it to him, and Trump took it, saying "I always wanted one of these." A POTUS convinced a wounded soldier to give up his Purple Heart like it was a trinket.
At the end of WW2, they manufactured millions of Purple Heart medals in anticipation of the invasion of Japan, which never happened, thankfully. So those millions of medals have been sitting in a warehouse, and every one handed out since then has come from that inventory. We've never had to make more, and hopefully never will.
If he wanted one, all he had to do was tell Hegseth, and one would have been formally delivered to his desk by a Marine in dress blues within 30 minutes.
But it was more fun to take it from some dumb rube. I bet he left it in the limo when he left.
FINALLY the Man Waging War on Nigeria, Venezuela, the US, Greenland, Mexico, Gaza and Canada got his WELL Deserved Peace Prize!
The best way to get his attention is to be a child under the age of 14 or thereabouts.
Because he not only protects paedophiles - he is one.
The man-child got his shiny.
After violently coercing a woman to comply
No violence or coercion was necessary here. She's fully on board with American capitalism in Venezuela.
She’s such a cringy moron. The Nobel committee is an embarrassment
Ah now, don't think the Nobel prize for other fields, especially in science, are fake just because the peace prize is corrupt.
Don't think a few misses means every peace prize recipient doesn't deserve it.
My guess is that one third of peace prize recipients don't deserve it at all, which is a lot.
What's the guess based on? Absolutely nothing?
For every Mandela who won the peace prize, there is Obama, Kissinger, Machado, Amed and even Teddy Roosevelt...
The Prize has been given to 112 people and 31 organizations. Better brush up on that math.
This is sad. Even if she is somehow put into power, she will be treated like a puppet.
She is a puppet.
She explicitly signed up to be a puppet.
Even before she got the prize, she had been lobbying Trump to interfere in Venezuela.
He's the kind of kid that they invented participation prizes for, just so he wouldn't throw a tantrum at the awards ceremony, and scream "CHEATER!" at everybody, when everybody knows he was ALWAYS the cheater.
The ass kissing is pathetic.
Donald Trump is a professional Troll. He literally has lived his life bullying everyone.
