Trump liberated Venezuela

 

Do you think Machado wants her Nobel Prize back?

Hilarious and ridiculous

Well, of course.

Also - she's a "wonderful woman who has been through so much," but also, doesn't have the respect necessary to run Venezuela, so he said a few days ago, so...not mutual respect.

She's a fool is what she is.

He'll have that photo cropped and framed.

UPDATE 01/16/2026:

It's kind of a fun note that as a Spanish-speaking person, when she describes Trump, she prounces "[George] Washington's heir" as "Washington's hair."

She's a fool.  And an idiot.

Well, I have to admit that it was pretty well cheapened already by going to Obama for just getting elected president, and to Henry Fucking Kissinger! 

But, apparently, Machado didn't see it as anything worth keeping when it could be sold for favors she'll never get.

It is important to note, that contrary to Fox News' interviewer, Machado didn't transfer her peace prize. She is still a Peace Prize winner.  She gave away her medal.  

From Forbes:

Surely he'll remove the medal and reframe it with something that doesn't mention Machado.

“As a matter of principle, the Norwegian Nobel Committee will not comment upon what the Peace Prize Laureates may say and do after they have been awarded the prize,” adding that the committees mandate is to only evaluate the work they had done up to the moment the prize is awarded. Earlier on Thursday, the Nobel Peace Center made an X post about the Peace Prize medal that appeared to be aimed at Machado and Trump. The post described the history of the medal and ended with: “A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.”

[...]

A day after U.S. forces conducted a raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Trump was asked if he believes Machado should take over as the country’s leader. The president appeared to dismiss the suggestion, saying the Nobel laureate lacked the “respect” needed to govern the country.

She does now.

What did she get for that medal? A Trump swag bag.

Whatever is in that bag has Trump's name on it.

US war on Venezuela - Day 3

And, Venezuela's opposition party has not changed since Chavez.

Rich, entitled, wannabe capitalists, and suckups to the United States.

Also, she can give him the award medal and/or money.  Doesn't mean he won it.

Not great

 

In so many words...

 

Not an exact quote, but essentially that is what he said.

Trump's going to announce that the Nobel Prize is fake and stupid and then create a prize (with more gold) that he always wins.

Bet.

Of course the main reason he wants the prize so badly is because Obama got it (undeservedly, I think).  Also, he likes prizes.  

They only bring attention to the fact that he didn't get it by dwelling on it so much.  Brilliant strategy, keep telling everyone what a failure the guy is.

And...priming the idea that the prize is stupid...

The rest of the story...

UPDATE 09:01 am:  Oh shit!

Where will Rubio be sent as ambassador?  Venezuela maybe?

Rick Scott will get some choice words, and a primary opponent, but he can't be stripped of his job.

UPDATE 10/11/2025:

Not great.
