Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado told reporters she presented the medal for her Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump at a private White House meeting on Thursday, but did not say if he accepted it.
“I think today is a historic day for us Venezuelans,” she said after the meeting with Trump, the first time the two have met in-person.
It’s like bribing and appeasing a toddler at the same time.
More like bribing someone who is known as a child rapist.
You know what they say. It’s easy as bribing a toddler.
I mean, what does a trophy matter in the long run if it means her country and people might be left alone by a madman? She still was the one who was awarded the Nobel and Trump can’t take that away from her.
She’s not doing it in the interest of Venezuela. She’s doing it so that he’ll make her the puppet leader of Venezuela. She’s not Gandhi; she’s Vidkun Quisling.
To be clear, she was praising Trump long before the events of this month. She never wanted the country or her people to be left alone, she wanted all this to happen so she could suck up to him and be installed. Did she have a hand in actually making it (the war and the Maduro kidnapping) happen? Probably not, but she was dealt the exact hand she wanted so now she can enjoy it.
I gotta say, solid contender for most pathetic image of 2026.
It’s beyond parody, it’s apocalyptically stupid, it can’t be ridiculed because it’s self-ridiculing in a way that’s never been done before. Merely looking at this image makes you dumber. It’s a vortex, a black hole of stupidity and hubris.
Your words are like poetry.
And it’s just mid January…
Yeah, it feels very disorienting honestly, like we just lived through a year in 2 weeks, heh.
By 2027 I’ll be a decade older. Or dead. Probably dead.
It STILL hasn’t been a year since that fetid piece of pig shit assumed office!
Yeah, I’ve had to remind my friends since roughly late November of this whenever they would gasp and say a variation of, “An there is still three more years of this left”.
Extremely optimistic of them to think that things will get better in three years!
This will age as well as this picture:

Washington’s up there like, “Told you fuckers political parties were a problem!”
It would be funny if she got a chocolate medal to gift him. Like this if you have not seen those medals with chocolate inside.
and all that guady gold decorations.
Quit enabling the pedophile god dammit. Now you’re a pedophile by association, Maria, you fucking idiot.
That’s like buying your boss a “best boss” mug to try to get a raise. It means nothing and your boss is an idiot.
More like giving your boss your own “best boss” mug.
this is so embarrassing for everyone involved, yikes.
Even for the Nobel Price Committee to some degree. I will be interested in what their reaction will be.
They already said that the price is given in the moment and cant be regifted or removed because later acts.
So in a way Trump is just as much nobel price winner as much as my cousing is Olympic ski jumping gold metalist. He bought the metal from auction, but it does not mean he earned it.
…she just gave and regifted it.
I tought my olympic medal anectode would be good enough. Or do you think that if Michael Phelps gave you you one of his medals it would make you a better swimmer?
Even the Nobel Prize committee? You mean the ones who
gavesold it to her in the first place?
Before: bribes done in secret, big scandal if journalists found out
Now: bribes are given in front of hundreds of journalists and photographers and the receiver is smiling like a toddler getting a box of Lego Duplo
Dumbest bribe ever
Boot licker.
Fascist sycophant.
So pathetic for the both of them
FIFA peace prize in shambles…
I bought a superbowl ring, that means I am now a superbowl champion.
That is the logical flow of this, yes.
If it makes him shut up on one issue, fine. Pacifier for the big baby.
Does not change the fact that the Nobel Prize is not transferrable.
Doesn’t matter, because Trump doesn’t know. Even if he did it wouldn’t keep him from claiming it was “his” Nobel Prize. “It was given to me, so it’s mine., see? All mine.”
The committee should re-award it given that the recipient doesn’t value it.
Given that the Nobel Prize is basically the moral equivalent of a cracker jack prize at this point, and given that it’s guaranteed to make the Toddler in Chief choke on a McDonald’s cheeseburger, they should give it to Obama. I mean, what the fuck - after giving Kissinger one, it’s not like the committee assigning them can be said to stand for anything approaching morality. Might as well do it for the memes.
They should just give the next one to Kissinger, posthumously. Just drive the point home.
better have the necromancer standing by to ressurect him.
Wouldn’t induce as much apoplexy in the diaper wearing fuck. But would still be funny.
Yeah, make it twins!
I don’t have enough vomit for this, can I borrow someone else’s
I get that she probably realizes he’s a simpleton and you can get a simpleton to do what you want if you give them gifts.
But still. Have some self respect.
From my talking with someone who grew up under a nation with a corrupt regime, self respect is a luxury that people under such a regime cannot afford when dealing with the government.
Small, petty, corrupt government personnel are a way of life and people just accept this sort of stuff as mundane fact of life.
So such folks are uniquely emotionally prepared for this sort of interaction.
