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.
I would not want a bootlicker like Corina Machado as the leader of my country and still it is not bootlicker enough for the pedophile crime syndicate of america.
Look at his smile, he actually thinks he won something. what a pathetic little bitch.
He’s the kind of kid that they invented participation trophies for, just so he wouldn’t throw a tantrum at the awards ceremony, and scream “CHEATER!” at everybody, when everybody knows he was ALWAYS the cheater.
It probably has a ring camera in it or a literal drone flying near it and the current admin is too stupid to think to do a bug check. Meanwhile all those worst people you’ve played COD with over the years have graduated to murdering actual people and the one really shitty friend from high school (if you’re still in touch) is likely singing their praises on social.
But like, hey it’s important to consider the feelings of someone who is sad about eating animals but still eats fish because they aren’t animals right?
What an embarresment for the Nobel Institute.
The Nobel institute was already kind of an embarrassment with what they’ve been doing for the past decade.
The Nobel peace prize is just a sad affair
They gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize based on vibes alone, in the beginning of his term. Even he was surprised, what a joke.
This is actually understandable when you consider him a symbol of a new era of race relations in the United States. Unfortunately, this turned out to not be the case but there was a beautiful moment of hope at the time. It seems that the powers that be want to burn the country to the ground to erase that spark of hope. That’s my interpretation of that anyway
That’s a striking moment whatever people think of Trump, handing over a Nobel award at the White House is heavy with symbolism. It feels like one of those gestures meant to send a message more than make headlines.
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.
Thank you Trump for attacking the brave people of Venezuela like I’ve been asking the US and Israel to do for years before I got this Peace Prize. Socialism is the work of the devil, and I claim to be a progressive!
If anyone still thinks the “opposition” is not entirely subservient to western interests at this point, they will never learn otherwise.
this is so embarrassing for everyone involved, yikes.
She also loves Israel, go figure.
Not sure what this nobel peace prize is supposed to mean at this point.
“You can grab them by the peace prize… They let you do anything”
All Nobel prizes should just sell them on Ebay to show how little value it has.
I gotta say, solid contender for most pathetic image of 2026.
and all that guady gold decorations.
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.
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 it’s just mid January…
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Literally this
