Organisers clarify award ‘cannot be revoked, shared or transferred’ after Venezuelan opposition leader’s comments
The organisers of the Nobel peace prize have said it “cannot be revoked, shared or transferred” after Venezuela’s opposition leader, María Corina Machado, said she wanted to give her award to Donald Trump.
When Machado was named Nobel laureate in October, it was seen as a snub by the White House, despite Machado rushing to dedicate the prize to the US president and his “decisive support of our cause”.
Trump has made no secret of his strongly held desire to be awarded the Nobel peace prize, the winner of which is selected by an independent five-person committee in Oslo.
The Nobel Peace Prize is and has always been a joke. No one takes it seriously, or ever has. Adolf Hitler was nominated.
Leave it up to trump to put a gun to somebody’s head and threaten to kill them unless they hand over their Nobel peace prize.
The levels of asshole and dumb here is again amazing.
In that aspect I kinda impressed by trump, in a sick, twisted sense, that is. Every time I think the asshole has hit rock bottom, somehow he just keeps digging and actually get himself deeper, still. Going on like this, he might actually find and pass hitler on his way down.
I don’t think he’s as stupid as we all think he is. Well, I do and I don’t. Ever have a friend who just got musical theory from a young age? Trump is a grade A dumbass except when it comes to being a calculated piece of shit. I’ve never seen anyone more successfully opportunistic with dipping their toes into what they can get away with than him. It’s honestly an impressive, albeit morally bankrupt skill.
Take it back dynamite guilt club. Take it back.
Piece of shit prize more like
The committee tried to appease Trump by offering it to a Venezuelan right winger. They learned the lesson so many have learned; that these people cannot be met halfway, if you give them an inch they WILL take a foot.
They should rescind the award for even suggesting the idea…
Well since she’s having a gun to her head, I kinda understand the gesture. She is walking on water thin ice here. On the one hand she has a country she wants to survive and, you know, not being plundered by the cheeto, and on the other hand… I don’t know, it’s trump, you fill it in…
I mean, she doesn’t deserve it either
One begins to question how she was awarded the prize in the first place
Just found out and believe me, people are VERY upset that the Nobel Peace Prize is NOT transferable. Amazing. After all the peace, the deals, the HISTORIC calm (tremendous calm, many people are saying THE MOST CALM IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD), they say ‘sorry, rules are rules.’ Meanwhile Obama gets one for showing up. Didn’t even DO ANYTHING! I finished wars, avoided wars, brought about peace very strongly — NO PRIZE. If it were transferable (like common sense says it should be), they’d be sending it over immediately. Very unfair system, very political, very Scandinavian. RIGGED! SAD! I should have a prize for each of the 8 WARS I SOLVED. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!

… christ, I have no idea if this is legit or not. Maybe… No? Just because he’d have to admit defeat?
I don’t know. It was going alright, but that Scandinavian burn has got to hurt.
massive baby
That request from Trump was a “test of spine”.
Now that he made sure she has none, she will be chewed with the rest.
I don’t see what’s the problem with that.
It’s not as if, after giving one to Kissinger, the nobel peace prize is anything more than a bitch to political propaganda.
Maria, he’s not going to grab you by the pussy.
Stop trying to get him to grab you by the pussy.
She at least forty years too old for that.
I hate this bitch.
Guess she’s not becoming prez after all.
The Nobel committee is a joke
