Shortly after the January 3 operation, Trump said it would be tough for Machado to lead Venezuela, saying she doesn’t have the support or the respect of the people.

Machado, however, has something Trump has long coveted — a Nobel Prize. She’s suggested she would offer her award to the US president and he’s said it’d be an “honor” to receive it, although the Norwegian Nobel Institute has said the prize cannot be transferred.

Asked on Friday whether receiving Machado’s prize would make him reconsider his view of her role in Venezuela, Trump didn’t directly answer.

“I’m going to have to speak to her. She might be involved in some aspect of it. I will have to speak to her. I think it’s very nice that she wants to come in. And that’s what I understand the reason is,” the president told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a meeting with oil executives at the White House.

“I can’t think of anybody in history that should get the Nobel Prize more than me. And I don’t want to be bragging, but nobody else settled wars,” Trump said.

I wonder if he'll sue her to recoup "his" million buck prize

It’s hilarious to see these morons treating the Nobel Prize as though it’s a piece of luggage.

I can buy some broke athlete’s SuperBowl ring from 1986. Does that make me a star NFL quarterback?

Interesting reaction. When Machado made those comments, I found myself thinking that it was clear she understood how she had to handle Trump, and would make a great leader. I also thought it was very unfortunate for her to get the prize if her goal was to have the US help her take her elected place. I concur on your conclusion about the other party involved.

Well, that cheapens that.

Take a hit off the prize.

these morons

There's only one moron in that scenario, who loves it when people play his ass-kissing game. Even when it's likely it's done publicly as a sarcastic joke.
