So much is so wrong and dangerous about Trumps comment--not the least is that our
country is being run by Trump's big dangerous and greedy EGO!
YIKES! Donald Trump says that he wants the Nobel Prize thats belonging to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado and expects her to give it to him when she comes to DC next week.

(23,031 posts)Does kleptomania often begin in childhood? Per the Google A.I.:
Kleptomania often begins in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood, with studies showing 35% of cases starting before age 11. While it can manifest early, it is most frequently diagnosed in late adolescence or early adulthood, sometimes triggered by stress, anxiety, or trauma. It is distinct from typical childhood stealing, as it involves an irresistible, tension-relieving urge.
PS: If you want to see a heck of a film noire on the subject:
While several years later, I'd bet a lot of the MK/ULTRA came from the premise of "a man making a woman do what she doesn't want to do."

(105,589 posts)The Nazis had gained power after the German federal election held in March 1933. A month after this election took place, the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service ordered the dismissal of all Jewish civil servants, along with sympathizers and Nazi opposition party members this included Max von Laue and James Franck. Franck was exempt from this new law, due to his prior German military service, but regardless, resigned from the University of Gottingen in April of 1933. Before leaving Germany in November 1933, Franck assisted English physicist, Frederick Lindemann, in finding dismissed Jewish scientists work overseas. In December 1933, Laue was let go from his position as advisor to the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt (PTR). Laue and friend, German chemist, Otto Hahn, secretly helped persecuted colleagues emigrate from Germany.
When Germany invaded Denmark on April 9th, 1940, Niels Bohr knew he had to hide the medals entrusted to him, or else the prizes would be seized. After discussing the option of burying them, Bohr and Hungarian chemist, George de Hevesy, decided instead to dissolve the gold medals in nitro-hydrochloric acid, also known as aqua regia. Both awards liquefied into an orange colored substance and were placed inside a flask stored on a laboratory shelf in the Niels Bohr Institute. De Hevesy fled Copenhagen for Sweden in 1943, leaving the flask behind.
After the war, De Hevesy returned to find the solution of aqua regia undisturbed. He then precipitated the gold out of the acid. He sent the gold to the Nobel Society. The Nobel Society was able to recast the prize medals. These recast medals were presented to Franck and von Laue in 1952.

"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.
