Is this true that Maria Corina Machado will present Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize?

[JI7]

1. Any other source ?

[GreenWave]

37. Trump's own mouth.

[spanone]

2. I doubt it's transferrable.

[lapfog_1]

6. It's not

there was a thread on this in DU.

[Endlessmike56]

3. If true

She can give it to him but it won’t mean diddly squat except to him and his cult.

[lamp_shade]

4. Trump's.......

[Walleye]

5. I hope he comes out wearing it around his neck like the dork that he is

Does he get the money too? I’m sure that’s what he’s interested in.

[Attilatheblond]

7. True or not, it would be a pointless gesture. He KNOWS he didn't EARN any prize, honor, or power

That's why he is insatiable and has to keep destroying things/people/places. Those things remind him daily, possibly hourly, or even moment to moment, that HE IS A FAILURE & Daddy didn't love him. He is a black hole of infantile need and he will destroy everything that gets within his ever growing field of gravity.

We used to put people like him in institutions for their own safety and ours. But taking care of the insane doesn't turn enough profit, so TPTB said 'fuck that' and brainwashed enough people to think their taxes would go down if we left the insane on the streets.

[allegorical oracle]

29. And he cares whether he's earned whatever he's gotten? To him, only fools earn what

they get. That's why he demeaned McCain. Trump prefers a) people who never enlisted in the military, and b) never got captured in battle.

Seriously believe that he more values what he's stolen than what he's earned.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Trump keeps stealing things that he thinks will force people to respect him.

The Kennedy Center is another example.

He doesn't understand respect is earned.

[Hey Joe]

18. Trump is a human remora .

His pathetic neediness and grasping for the fame and accolades of his betters, wether it
is a Purple Heart he did not earn, a Nobel Peace Prize he desperately wanted or attaching his name to the memorial of another president who he knows he will never measure up to.
He is a human incubus, a suckhole of greed and want who knows he will never measure up.

[Irish_Dem]

20. A vampire who sucks the life, heart, soul of Americans, the US, and the world.

[choie]

9. Anything for power.

For those who have.been extolling Machado’s virtues, is extortion a virtue? She’s just as power hungry as trump is. Vile.

[Ocelot II]

10. It's not transferable. If she wants to give away its physical symbols or the prize money

she can do it, but as far as the Nobel Committee is concerned she's still the recipient.

[hlthe2b]

14. Exactly. The Nobel Committee officially awarded it to her and they will not recognize the

transfer. It is so damned cringey that we have a pResident this damned petty and small.

[boston bean]

15. I maybe they can revoke hers. Giving it to the new Hitler seems to be a valid reason.

[Ocelot II]

16. Per the NPP rules, it can't be revoked either.

Once it's awarded it's a done deal for all eternity. There was a huge shitstorm when it was awarded to Henry Kissinger, and if the committee could have revoked it they probably would have.

[hlthe2b]

34. Apparently, they can't per the statement released earlier by the Nobel Committee spokesperson.

She can give the money away and the medallion, if she chooses, but there is no recognition of transfer.

Tough luck, you pathetic orange POS...

Aren't we proud?

[Ocelot II]

38. He'd display it and claim it was rightfully his,

though he’d have to alter the medal or have a replica made that had his name on it and not hers. And I have no doubt that he would do that.

[2naSalit]

31. Which was...

Probably a mistake in the first place. Have to say, I was disappointed that she got it.

[Americanme]

11. That's how trump got a purple heart, somebody gave it to him.

What a joke. How could it possibly mean anything to him, knowing he didn't earn it, doesn't deserve it. He is a joke.

[3catwoman3]

32. Almost anyone else would have thanked the elderly veteran...

...for the gesture but insisted that he keep it. But not Trump, no way.

[Doodley]

12. We know Trump can be easily manipulated with flattery, so good move for peace in Venezuela if she does this.

[Ocelot II]

17. The infuriating thing is that he'll display it proudly and brag about how he "won" it.

[everyonematters]

13. She is the one that Venezuelans want to lead their country.

If it will get Trump to support her, what the hell.

[sboatcar]

19. She knows that that's how you get on his good side

Appeal to his vanity and delicate ego.

Its gross, but it works.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

21. Machado is coming off as a fraud, and might not be into peace all that much. Especially with her head stuck up

Trump's warmongering ass.

[no_hypocrisy]

22. We'll know if she brings the Award to the meeting.

Or TSF can ask if he can “borrow it for a little while” and not return it.

[Justice]

23. Trump gonna steal Peace Prize just like he stole Kennedy Center.

Perverse

[TheProle]

24. It would be funny

were it not so existentially dangerous

[flvegan]

25. Like he has the Club World Cup football trophy, singlehandedly winning it.

What a fucking doofus.

[allegorical oracle]

30. Don't forget the FIFA peace prize. TSF is an absolute fool. And we're stuck with him.

[underpants]

26. Don't fall for it.

Don't fall for it Maria. He'd take it and you'll get nothing

You’d have no real authenticity or support. You’d be lucky to see next Christmas. Maduro’s henchmen are still everywhere there.

[pandr32]

27. He is shaking her down.

[unblock]

28. Some players who have won the Super Bowl have sold their rings.

So you can buy a superbowl ring, cool show to people, but doesn't mean squat.

[Sogo]

33. As illegitimate as his presidency....

but he'll accept it in his delusional mind and believe it to be real. It's only hardware to him, no meaning behind it.

[SamKnause]

35. I don't care if she does or she doesn't.

It needs to be shoved up his evil ass !!!

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

36. Trump is going to grab her by the Peace Prize.

39. Nobel Committee Says Peace Prize Cannot Be Transferred After Machado Says She Wants to 'Share It' With Trump

This award is not transferable

The Norwegian Nobel Institute said that a Nobel Peace Prize cannot be transferred or shared with another person, responding to comments by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who said she wanted to "share" her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize with U.S. President Donald Trump.

"A Nobel Prize cannot be revoked nor transferred to others. Once the laureate or laureates are announced, the decision is final," said Erik Aasheim, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Nobel Institute, which serves as the secretariat for the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Aasheim added that while the prize itself is not transferable, laureates are free to dispose of the prize money as they see fit.

The statement followed remarks by Machado during a Fox News interview on Monday, in which she praised Trump's actions that led to the capture of Venezuela's former president, Nicolás Maduro, and said that "because this is the prize of the Venezuelan people, certainly we want to give it to him and share it with him." Machado said she had not spoken directly with Trump since October, when she dedicated the award to him after it was announced.
