    Trump’s reasoning for ignoring Venezuela’s obvious opposition leader: she didn’t hand him her prize. That’s literally the ‘ultimate sin’ in his universe.

  2. Funny, because the Nobel Committee basically gave Machado the prize to give it to Trump without actually giving it to Trump, to appease him. Machado is an open supporter of Trump and Netanyahu. Guess that didn’t really work out, then.

    It’s **literally** Trump vs. the world now. How many people must die to satisfy an ego as fragile as a hummingbird’s egg?

    I’m going to call BS. He’s not propping up Machado because he doesn’t want to even bother a puppet regime. He, by his own words, wants to administer the government of Venezuela himself.

    Well he just bombed a foreign country and kidnapped its leader; he can kiss any thought of a nobel good bye.

    I really want a reporter to ask Trump if he considers himself the president of Venezuela right now. Just to make him answer.

    Another lie.Ā 

    He doesn’t want a democratic leader. Simpler to keep the vp who’s as bad as Maduro, while he siphons a king’s ransom from Maduro and as much oil and resources as possible from the vp to ensure her safety. Probably pays a cut to Putin.

    He learned the ransom trick with the incarcerated ex-president of Honduras. Probably rather lucrative.

  8. Notice that Trump used very soft language when he said Machado needed more support locally. Soft language from Trump is usually a tell that he’s angling behind the scenes for a deal/bribe. I won’t be surprised to see Machado get his support later on once she’s promised everything to him.

    That being said, he also doesn’t want to admit that kidnapping the president did zero to actually conquer Venezuela, and the VP continues the Maduro government unhindered and is likely to execute anyone they catch with Trump ties.

    Trump has single-handedly established a new field of IR theory. ā€œPetty narcissismā€.

  10. It’s clear she was power hungry and didn’t actually care about her people when she was cheering the invasion of her people and hoping to become president. Neither of them deserved the peace prize and hers should be revoked as well.

  11. But of course. Quite obvious. Protecting his frail ego and hurting people who he envies is more important than any long term strategy.

  12. yup and she stuck her nose up his ass singing his praises up and down hoping to win a charm offensive. dedicated the nobel prize to him. whoopsie, everyone knows you can’t just pretend to give trump a gift without having him throw a fucking hissyfit for not actually getting it.

    It’s also because she has no support in Venezuela. Regime changing with no support won’t work. Why the Trump admin are desperately trying to work the with Delcy to become a puppet, however she ain’t playing ball either. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, not a good winning track record for the US.

  14. I understand his frustration, if it hadn’t been for her, it would surely have gone to him. Everyone knows he came a close second. ^(Must I really put /s?)

    She’s a nut job. He’s a child. They deserve one another, but his ego is too frail to let it happen.

  16. All_Hail_Hynotoad on

    It’s always about ego, not about what’s right. He’s nothing but a petulant child. I do not understand how some see him as the epitome of masculinity.

  17. Why would she be the president when Edmundo Gonzalez was voted President during the most recent 2024 election?

  18. Key_Inevitable_2104 on

    Machado thanked Trump for the prize and she still got thrown out of bus, even though she had legitimacy as a opposition leader.

  19. That fascist motherfucker was *never* going to be awarded the peace prize, regardless. He is the complete *opposite* of a man of peace. If it were only him and a random sheep from the Snowdon mountains of Wales in the running, the sheep would win.
