Someone, quick, fact check this comment from Trump:

[Baitball Blogger]

He said that Machado called him to tell him that she was accepting the Nobel Peace Price in honor or because of Trump. He made it sound like he's been helping her along.

Is this a whopper? Or is there truth to this?

1. Did she call him sir In this story?

2. CNN just aired his breaking news speech and it was one of many comments he made.

I think the original purpose of the press release was a deal with a pharmaceutical. He rambled on about various topics. He brought up that comment regarding the call from the Nobel Prize winner on his own, and no one challenged him.

Interesting move on her part.

4. She "dedicated" it to the people of Venezuela and to trump.

A blatantly diplomatic suckup

5. Trump being the example

Of what NOT to do to get yourself a peace prize.

6. Yes, this. She was looking ahead to a time when she might need to deal with him

It's very restrained and statesmanlike. Much more nature than the Orange Monster will ever be.
