Warmonger Finally Gets (Second Hand) Nobel Peace Prize

Venezuelan political activist Maria Machado, a former Deputy of the National Assembly of Venezuela who was in hiding from the Maduro government in Venezuela for over a year after being barred from that country's 2024 presidential election, won the Nobel Peace Prize late last year for her work in trying to bring about political reforms in her country.  Because Machado was in hiding from the government of Venezuela, her daughter traveled to Oslo, Norway, and accepted the prize for her mother.

When Donald Trump sent American troops to Venezuela a few weeks later and kidnapped the President and First Lady of the country in what looked like a decapitation of the authoritarian government, many Venezuelans including Maria Machado likely thought the Americans were there to reimpose some type of democracy, but Trump quickly dashed those hopes by placing Maduro's vice-president in charge of the nation's political structure.    Trump's agenda had not been to reintroduce democracy into Venezuela, he was there to take the country's oil.

But Maria Machado is nobody's fool, and she had done her homework with regard to the United States' extremely shallow President.  Machado knew that Trump coveted two things above all others:  praise and presents.  She also knew that was bitterly disappointed that he had yet to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.  

Machado, the winner of last year's Nobel Peace Prize for her resistance work against the Maduro government, put out the word that she would  be happy to give her prize to Donald Trump, and a few days later she was sitting in the White House.   Machado had her foot in the door.  After a nice conversation where she no doubt gave her views on what the post Maduro government should look like, the seasoned South American politician pulled out her Nobel Peace Prize medal and handed it to Donald Trump.

Instead of politely decling the honor that he had done little (or nothing) to deserve, Donald Trump, the man who last year ordered the US military to bomb seven different countries, threatened annexation of three American allies - Greenland, Panama, and Canada, and sent troops into numerous American cities, THAT Donald Trump essentially said, "Gimme."

Maybe Trump will display his second hand Nobel Peace Prize in his Qatari jumbo jet - next to his FIFA Peace Prize!

The man is such an embarrassment.
