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 folliwing 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 wgen trump gets one too
I thought that Obama got it for the Iran peace deal, despite being the bomber in chief.
I agree with your sentiment, but its been a much more significant joke since way before then:

(Henry Kissinger)
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.
Man, I hope she’s fucking with him…
Why would she be? She’s a huge fan of Trump.
Sounds like a threat to me…
Imagine what could happen if she wouldn’t give it to himWhelp Nobel Peace Committee what do you have to say about giving the award to a boot licker
Henry fucking Kissinger was awarded an Nobel. Obama too, despite having just acceded to the presidency and done nothing yet (he would go on and become one of the most prolific drone striker ever). The “peace” Nobel prize is now and always has been a bad taste joke.
Conservatives:
that’s not how it works, lol… he wants a nobel peace prize with the name Machado on it?
Read up on Machado. She’s a real capitalist enabling cunt. She probably had a role to play in all that’s happening.
- Wins the prize.
- Sees tRump whining about not winning it for being the worst thing since Hitlers.
- Offers tRump the peace prize medal to remove Maduro.
- tRump does the removal.
- Visits later on and returns home with a new Nobel medal.
I swear, if I’m right I will shit my pants live on social media…
A true traitor of the people. Par for the course of Nobel peace prize winners. Kissinger won one, for example.
That’s not how prizes work though…
This is some Michael Scott move
So the Orange Jackass wants to mug her?
Bribe. He is begging for a bribe.
He wants to brag that he’s better than ‘Obamna.’
So that’s what’s truly behind the invasion. Oil is just a cover. He just wants that Nobel price.
Honestly, seeing how crooked, petty and deranged he is, I wouldn’t be surprised anymore if this would actually be true.
pretty sure the nobel prize is a cover for the oil/subjugation, actually I’m convinced his entire personality is a cover really
it gets people talking and stops them from worrying about the things that actually move money and resources in this world
I’ve talked to people who voted for Trump. I asked why they voted for him. Their answer: “I don’t agree with him on any level, but he talks in a way I can understand and other politicians I agree with more I don’t understand, so I just voted for him.”
Honestly, what the actual fuck.
Facts and logic are of the past somehow. The dystopian world portrayed in the movie Idiocracy became a reality, although that movie was way too optimistic: they listed to the smart person.
that’s really interesting and sad, I wonder how much of that is them actually not being able to understand vs them being convinced they can’t understand
kinda feels like the worst type of a feedback loop where people just start rejecting external information
Politics are getting more extreme. Screaming people, far against each other, no middle area, etc. Many just don’t have the energy to follow all that bullshit. Going back and forth. They just want something clear instead of difficult choices. It drains me too, but I can’t vote on something I do not support and I need to know which politicians are full of shit and spread fake news.
It matches his malignant narcissism.
How’s did the horrible person even win this? What a fucken joke
I see some Trumpie is going to a pull a Putiny.
How could she transfer the Nobel prize? Sure, prize winners get a medal, a diploma, and monetary award, but what’s really important is the recognition and the honor of being a Nobel laureate. A lot of them give the prize money to charity, and…
…oh lord, it’s the gold medal. [REDACTED] is such a toddler that he’s captivated by shiny, gold baubles.
It’s like the Purple Heart all over again.
Though at the same time, it’s not really that much of a surprise, is it? The man loves gold-coloured things.
All we’ve needed this whole time is a raccoon trap.
Honestly, if I could buy the reign over my country with a medal, I would try
He wants every single cent and the clout. Just like the biggest shit on the face of this planet (ever) would
Donald “Smaug” Trump
He’s a malignant narcissist. He’s literally crazy. It wouldn’t surprise me if all of the actions he’s taken against Venezuela since the Prize was announced comes down to this attempt to literally start a war to steal it and then scream “Nah nah nah! I’m as good as Obamna! No! Better! The best!”
I mean, Trump stole the soccer Club World Cup trophy and put it in the Oval office, leaving the actual champions with a replica.
He doesn’t give a shit about the accomplishment, only about the prize.
[REDACTED] is such a toddler that he’s captivated by shiny, gold baubles.
Hey what the fuck man?
Spit out our coffee hahaha 😂
How does this timeline just keep on getting stupider and stupider like this?
Ivan Gorchev, sailor on the freight ship ‘Rangoon’, was not yet twenty-one when he won the Nobel Prize in physics. To win a scientific award at such a romantically young age is unprecedented, though some people might consider the means by which it was achieved a flaw. For Ivan Gorchev won the Nobel Prize in physics in a card game, called macao, from a Professor Bertinus, on whom the honour had been bestowed in Stockholm by the King of Sweden a few days earlier. But those who are always finding fault don’t like to face facts, and the fact of the matter is that Ivan Gorchev did win the Nobel Prize at the age of twenty-one.
Opening lines from the novel “The Fourteen-Carat Roadster” by Jenő Rejtő (P. Howard)
Is it a good read? I’m intrigued.
From what I remember, it is. I read it very long ago as a kid, and I found it quite funny. Sort of a parody of popular adventure novels at that time (1930s), making fun of the usual tropes. Lot of things inspired by the writer’s own extensive travels in Western Europe and North Africa. It’s probably avaiable for pennies or free now.
