Here's what should happen with Trump & the Nobel Prize. It might surprise you. - Velshi - MS NOW
María Corina Machado—Venezuela’s opposition leader, a genuine dissident who has actually risked her life confronting an authoritarian regime— earned herself a Nobel Peace Prize in 2025. This week, she handed it over to Donald Trump.
She meant it as a very public act of flattery and a diplomatic “thank you” for apprehending Nicolás Maduro, but Trump doesn’t view it as merely symbolic. Now, the prestigious award has been diluted to a collectible he can show off in his gold Oval Office as the world keeps burning. - Aired on 01/17/2026.
