  1. Could The Norwegian Nobel Committee annul the award, as it seems to be being used as a political tool?

    (EDIT: The replies seem to show it can’t be transferred or, if done so, cancelled.
    I have the strangest feeling the President will occasionally refer to himself as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, from now on, though)

  2. Lol this is just funny more than anything. The only one who cares about that prize at the end of the day is trump. And he doesn’t even have the prize, just a piece of metal.

    That’s not how Nobel prices work according to the people that give the Nobel prize though. So he didn’t get the Nobel Peace prize, technically.

    This is super funny. First FIFA, now the actual winner. The US put a cluster b pedo in the biggest position of power they have, and the whole world became a manchild bully’s playground. If this was fiction it would be considered lazy.

    It would be the height of irony, if the peace prize were given to secure a u.s invasion to install her as president.

    A peace prize paid to start a war.

  6. Odds are he won’t do anything to put her in power. He got what he wanted. Besides, why should the people of that country accept her now? She may have won the election but she’s here basically begging for someone else to give her the position. How can you trust someone who does that to not sell you out later for something else they’d want?

  7. I disagree with those who are praising her for this. Both of them look pathetic for different reasons.

    Man, I thought all that time he spent begging for a medal was sad. This is so much more pathetic, though.

  9. I mean it’s on the Nobel committee. They awarded that prize to a known far-right nutjob and are now shocked that she gave it to another far-right nutjob.

    Ironic cause ICE would absolutely dump her in El Salvador if they ever caught her in US.

  11. As he threatens to invade a fellow NATO member… and cause a civil war in his own country, makes sense . She’s a fucking idiot!

  12. The really pathetic part about this is Machado actually believes this will benefit her in anyway what so ever.

    Bill Clinton getting his knob polished in the oval office was more dignified than this shit.

  14. Isn’t this impeachable?

    The Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9) says:

    A president may not accept any gift, payment, or benefit from a foreign state without Congress’s consent.

    Which now means she no longer has the Nobel peace prize, and Donald Trump still does not have the Nobel peace prize.

    Looks like she really wants to be Venezuela’s new leader and I’m sure she could be as long as she allows her country’s resources to be taken and sold by the US
