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.
This is gonna be like how Putin stole a Superbowl ring isn’t it?
It reminds me of when, in his first term, a wheelchair bound veteran gave Trump his Purple Heart, and Trump’s response, if I remember correctly, was, “I’ve always wanted one of these.”
Trump couldn’t even pretend to care about the veteran and just made it about himself.
