    He doesn’t care about that; He’ll just take the medal and put it in his office

    I think employing thugs and members from domestic terrorist organizations as a police force to illegally grab and detain citizens, and in one case, murder an innocent, in one’s own country would automatically exclude that person from being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. The winners should be elevating the status of the prize and not the other way around.

    That’s a good policy.

    Otherwise every wannabee-tyrant will be demanding they are transferred to them.

  4. Imagine being such a loser that coercing someone to give you their Nobel prize and actually winning one are no different.

    I think there’s an easy fix though – someone should just tell Trump the prize is over 18.

  5. At least there’s one institution that is willing to stand on its own rules when it comes to Trump. But Trump doesn’t care about the rules so I’m pretty sure he will insist

    Donald Trump is genuinely the world’s biggest baby. Everyone, and I mean everyone, should be pointing and laughing at him over this

  7. Here’s a bucket of fake prizes, kindly fuck off and give the people of Venezuela their country back.

  8. It cannot be overstated that she was 100% ready to give the Nobel Peace Prize she won to Donald Trump in exchange for him putting her in charge of a country after removed its previous leader.

    Kinda diminishes the prize for her as well

  9. Trump and Machado don’t care. He will get it and forever will claim he got the peace prize, or even better, he got two peace prizes, more than anyone has ever got.

  10. Machado has lost a ton of credibility in the last few weeks. It’s a sad and desperate situation with US breathing down your neck. She can’t win.

    Its so dumb, its almost hard to understand: He thinks of the actual physical object symbolizing the prize as the point. He thinks the whole prestige is tied to the object.

  12. It is kind of depressing to realize we live in a world of incompetent obscene leaders like Trump, and shameless ass-lickers like Machado.

    And irrelevant suckers like me, I guess.

    What a time to live in.

  13. Wonder what FIFAs thinking after creating an entire peace prize just for him and now he’s like “nah I still want the real thing”

  14. If anyone could just “buy” or “coerce” an award like the Nobel  than it loses all its prestige.

    The point of it is to acknowledge advancements in various areas particularly in science, medicine and other STEM.   The peace prize is obviously a particular point of jealousy on Trump’s part because Obama received one and he’s been bigly obsessed about it ever since.

    Pro tip: maybe don’t give out the peace prize to a morally-comprised person like Machado in the first place.

  16. Bombs Iran, sends the military on his own people, kidnapped a leader. Demands a peace price… am I missing something??

  17. This.

    Also, shouldn’t kidnapping the leader of a country, or pirating and killing boats and their crews at sea, or any of the other non-peace actions Trump has taken, automatically disqualify him from ever have a Peace Prize?

    Just a thought…

    The fact that she’s so willing to toss her prize into the embarrassingly small hands of dictator with cheap hair-plugs suggests that maybe the committee should revoke HER prize.
