“But I do want to say today, on behalf of the Venezuelan people, how grateful we are for [Trump’s] courageous mission,” Machado said on Hannity’s show this week, adding that she & the Venezuelan people want to “share” the prize with #Trump after the #US #military seized #Maduro & his wife & brought them to New York to stand trial on narco-terrorism charges.

In an interview with Hannity this week in which she heaped praise on #Trump, #MaríaCorinaMachado said she had not spoken to the US president since October, when she was announced as the latest #Nobel laureate.
She had been in hiding in #Venezuela during President Maduro’s last days in power & turned up in Oslo, where her daughter accepted the prize on her behalf. But she promised to return to her country & called for elections to replace #Maduro.

“I understand she’s coming in next week sometime, & I look forward to saying hello to her,” #Trump said of #Venezuela’s opposition leader during an interview with FauxNews’s Sean Hannity that aired Thursday. Trump added that he “heard” #Machado wants to give him the prize, & that it would be “a great honor.”

Ridiculous

#Trump said he would accept the #NobelPeacePrize if this year’s prize winner, #MaríaCorinaMachado, offered it to him when she meets with him next week, but #Nobel officials quickly announced Fri that the prize may not be shared or transferred.
“Once a #NobelPrize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared or transferred to others,” the Norwegian Nobel Cmte & the Norwegian Nobel Institute said. “The decision is final & stands for all time.”

"Yet only Donald Trump would so brazenly squander this historic opportunity for true change on the altar of a chimeric windfall—oil, which a 1960s Venezuelan oil minister labeled 'the devil’s excrement.'”

"Only Trump would have the audacity to launch such a daring, unilateral joint-force strike to capture a sitting president of Venezuela—with its questionable legality under both U.S. and international law, its dangerous precedents that Russia and China might later claim, and its damaging consequences for the liberal international order."

"To understand the depth of Donald Trump’s betrayal of the democratic movement in Venezuela, it is necessary to appreciate the consummate courage, planning, and organization behind the opposition victory on July 28, 2024. For her valiant efforts to organize and lead the campaign for democracy, María Corina Machado was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize."

2026 is the year of the orange rapist's dystopian nightmare

The orange rapist is threatening to bomb a different country every 12 hours until he finds one that will make everyone stop talking about how he and his techbros raped little kids.

#politics #War #EpsteinFiles #RapeCulture #NobelPeacePrize

#Trump also completely dismissed the idea of working with opposition leader & #NobelPeacePrize winner #MaríaCorinaMachado who actually won the last presidential #election in #Venezuela. Instead he said #MarcoRubio was in contact with Maduro’s VP #DelcyRodríguez. If this was even slightly about #Maduro being an illegitimate president, Rodríguez would also be illegitimate. This is so transparently about #oil it’s ridiculous.
