Doesn’t this play into Trump’s threats towards Venezuela’s government? The nobel peace prize committee just handed a lot of legitimacy and publicity to someone opposing the same regime Trump is targeting.
It feels to me more like they are fucking with him.
😁😆😂🤣😭🥲🥹😌 good.
Trump wanted it sooo bad (well, he claimed it is probably closer to the truth) and now it’s awarded to someone from Venezuela. Did not Trump made the army shoot at Venezuelan boats ? Oh the irony … the irony
That was a totally peaceful and perfect act of peace
To be fair to Barack Obama, I think that even he didn’t think he deserved the Peace Prize for basically just being elected. His response after finding out was very much a “uh…ok…really? You sure about that?” because it undermined him and the Peace Prize
But my relief at not having to hear gloating vs. the usual orange-flavored aggrievment is real.
Hell, I could be ok with them giving him another one. Not for anything he’s actually done, just because it might literally give Trump a fucking coronary.
I remember the press conference Obama gave after he won. He literally look embarrassed by the whole thing.
Remember that Kissinger also got the Nobel Peace Prize, I don’t think Obama being given the prize undermined it that much
Kissinger got the prize for ending the Vietnam war, which is a good reason.
He also extended the Vietnam war by a bunch.
He also thought up the idea of bombing the shit out of southeast Asia. Asshole. Kissenger not you.
Hahahaha, bet he’ll claim it was rigged.
More like he’s gonna start sending the Texas National guard to Sweden to investigate how the Nobel Committee got infiltrated by Antifa
And thus missing the entire point as it’s a Norwegian thing, the peace prize.
Do you think Donald Trump lets himself get distracted by details like that?
Nope.
yeah, switzerland better be prepared that trump will invade them mistaking them for sweden.
And now we know where the next war will be
I was worried for a while.
So this is why we’re blowing up Venezuelan boats.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner supports Trump and blowing up the boats.
In order to truly spite him, they should have given the Nobel peace prize to the global sumud flotilla.
Which would be a travesty.
Flotilla: symbolic act of protest
Trump: put pressure on Israel, organized regional and international coalition to end war in Gaza, Israeli troops are retreating as I’m typing this.
Hate trump as much as you want. He was actually effective here and achieved something good. The flotilla only achieved social media outrage.
First of all, good for her!
Secondly, I hope this causes Trump immense pain
The fact that it went to a Venezeuelan woman is going to absolutely enrage him.
He’s gonna have a meltDEIwn 🙃
I hope he hears he’s in the running for next year and then kicks the bucket a day before the winners are announced… since Nobel prizes are not awarded posthumously.
Dag Hjammersskjöld got one posthumously IIRC.
Yup in 1961.
Since 1974, Nobel Prizes can’t be awarded posthumously. However, if the recipient dies after the announcement, they can still receive the prize. Before 1974, posthumous awards were possible if the nominee died after February 1st of the same year.

✅ Woman
✅ Venezuelan
✅ Actively fighting a dictator
That’s a massive “fuck you!” to you know who.
She is a Trump supporter
Sure, maybe they should rebrand the prize to Nobel resistance prize then.
He is going to sue the committee and then fire all the staff members. Replace then with his unqualified staff and give himself a Mickey mouse award.
I hate how all the news cycle is about him, just because he wanted it.
María Corina Machado comes from a super rich industrialist family, whose companies were socialized by the government. She is the embodiment of antisocialist capitalism, which gives itself a coat of liberal virtue paint when it loses power.
She’s also extremely pro-Israel and has asked America and Israel to invade and bomb her country. Yuck. The Nobel Peace Prize is such a joke I won’t even be surprised or upset if Trump gets it next year.
Her winning seems like a gesture towards Trump. Like “hey, you didn’t win but guess what, an enemy of the regime you’re considering toppeling won. Maybe you could work with that.”
They should be renamed to the “Nobel War Prize” if that’s really the intention.
Finally some good news.
