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.

    tbh the world noble peace price is a joke since obama got it for anouncing stuff, not even following through.

    and this shitshow is doubling down on it

    a fake price for a fake man

    it should have never been near 'murica so it doesn’t even matter when trump gets one too

      I thought that Obama got it for the Iran peace deal, despite being the bomber in chief.

      I think it’s weird how conservatives cried over Obama getting the Nobel for basically nothing, but now, Trump’s fan club is getting him the Nobel a week after the military raid.

      Not saying Obama deserved the prize, but at least it went through the committee. Trump, of course, is not big on the whole “going through the committee” thing.
