Fearless Dear Leader Trump indicated he would be “honored” to accept Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize when she comes to meet with Trump in Washington next week. Machado indicated on Fox News she would be willing to kiss Trump’s ass present the president with the award as a “token of gratitude” from the Venezuelan people.
Trump bloviated to Sean Hannity that “I’ve stopped eight wars” and called it “a very big embarrassment” for Norway that he hadn’t been given the prize. He argued that “when you put out eight wars, in theory, you should get one for each war.”
By Friday morning, however, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Nobel Institute said its rules do not permit the passing on of its coveted prize to someone else.
“A Nobel Prize can neither be revoked nor transferred to others. Once the announcement of the laureate(s) has been made, the decision stands for all time. As for the prize money, the laureate(s) are free to dispose of it as they see fit.”
Machado has tried to earn Trump’s support for her to lead her country, as she had the greatest popular legitimacy in Venezuela’s election, but Trump has said she doesn’t have the support or respect to govern. Machado earlier dedicated the coveted award to Trump.
