In reply to the discussion: Maria Corina Machado says she presented Trump with her Nobel peace prize medal [View all]Ocelot II
(129,271 posts)23. Unfortunately it probably won't work. Trump's transactions are one-way streets - his way.
It was kind of a hail-Mary pass she probably hopes will get Trump's support in installing her in Venezuela's government apparatus, but it will fail. Trump has better control over the existing regime, minus Maduro. But she didn't give away the Peace Prize itself, because she can't. Per Nobel's rules it isn't transferrable. She can give away the medallion and the prize money but she's stuck with the prize itself.

It certainly must be worthless to her. What an unprincipled person she must be to fold to a psychopath. ...

Stupid ignorant female. She did not deserve the Peace Prize. What was the Nobel committee thinking?

It wouldn't surprise me if he invaded Venezuela solely on her promise to give it to him.
