Machado presented Trump with her Nobel award at White House meeting

It's like bribing and appeasing a toddler at the same time.

What a dumb bitch. I think after this the Nobel committee should retrospectively take it away from her, so that orange fuck can't claim that he got it.

I gotta say, solid contender for most pathetic image of 2026.

That’s like buying your boss a “best boss” mug to try to get a raise. It means nothing and your boss is an idiot.

Quit enabling the pedophile god dammit. Now you're a pedophile by association, Maria, you fucking idiot.

this is so embarrassing for everyone involved, yikes.

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

Fascist sycophant.

Boot licker.

So pathetic for the both of them

FIFA peace prize in shambles…

I bought a superbowl ring, that means I am now a superbowl champion.

If it makes him shut up on one issue, fine. Pacifier for the big baby.

Does not change the fact that the Nobel Prize is not transferrable.

The committee should re-award it given that the recipient doesn't value it.

I don't have enough vomit for this, can I borrow someone else's

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.

What an embarresment for the Nobel Institute.

fuck I swear this is pathetic enough to cause an integer overflow or something

Venezuelan is proper fucked if this is the opposition they have.

They are all losing their masks. The weakness and demagogy of Maduro's leadership, american entrism in the opposition, the failure of international institutions etc . We are all fucked, the values we've grown up with and that we studied in school were LIES

Did South Park do this as a bit already?

"You can grab them by the peace prize... They let you do anything"

The Nobel committee is a joke

It basically demeans everyone...the Nobel committee, tramp (blissfully unaware), her...

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.

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 just naked manipulation. I would be ashamed if someone tried it on me, but what do you know, Trump completely laps it up. She's a sly and calculating operator, I will give her that.

We truly do live in a clown world.

"Thank you for your Nobel Prize, here is a bag of Trump steaks from 1999"

I'm not going to suggest that they'd be better off with Maduro, but surely they could come up with someone better than Trump's asshole licker.

She also loves Israel, go figure.

Not sure what this nobel peace prize is supposed to mean at this point.

First, the prize, like most such prizes, is a popularity contest, merit be damned.

Second, as everyone knows, except perhaps Trump, the statue is worthless without the intent behind it. She gave him a paperweight, probably cheaper than whatever gift she would have given otherwise.

So foolish, she knows not who she deals with. I guess I cannot fault her for trying though but appeasement of a megalomaniac rarely works out.

Damn, I got fooled thinking she was cool. Nobel peace prize really means dick all now huh

Suck up

did not say if he accepted it

I mean, did she really need to?

Literally this

All Nobel prizes should just sell them on Ebay to show how little value it has.

What does président Stephen Miller think about that. Trump isn't the president

She’s just dumb if she believed that Trump was going to expend resources and install her as the President. Trump, in a rare moment of accuracy, correctly assessed that installing her would cause unrest…maybe even a war. He much prefers bribing and blackmailing the corrupt entities within the “leftist” system.

As a Venezuelan I can say, what a shameful exhibition

Another Dunning-Krugerrand for the pile

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.

What a cheap whore

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?

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'm clearly missing some huge portions of this [complicated] picture.

wtaf. 😐

The comments here appear to confirm the Nobel committee awarded the right person: anything a Lemmy circlejerk hates is almost certainly right & good as further evinced by telltale signs such as histrionic meltdowns.
