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.

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.

    She got the Nobel Peace prize. Do you know who else got the Peace prize?

    Henry Kissinger.

    So did Obama, right before he ordered a bunch of strikes.

    If you think Obama is comparable to Kissinger then you might be a Trump voter.

    Don't be campist. Kissinger was obviously worlds worse, but Obama killed an insane amount of civilians with drones and claimed that because they were military aged males they were actually combatants. He double tapped to kill first responders and assassinated a US citizen with a drone strike and no due process. Just because the Republicans are far more evil doesn't make Obama's rampant war crimes any less awful.

    Yes…”before” is a pretty important qualifier.

    The Obama prize can be viewed as an aspirational prize: rewarding rhetoric that was a drastic change from the typical US hawkish rhetoric and policy that had been increasing since Reagan. They ultimately got it wrong…very very wrong…but at least it was based on something.

    Kissinger, on the other hand, was tantamount to a war criminal and everybody knew it.

    Giving it to Machado just tells us that the prize is fully corrupted, considering her violent rhetoric. Not just that - but the notion that she was promoting democracy is laughable, given her statements about installing a regime that would be resistant or immune to leftist political victories.

    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

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

    Given that the Nobel Prize is basically the moral equivalent of a cracker jack prize at this point, and given that it's guaranteed to make the Toddler in Chief choke on a McDonald's cheeseburger, they should give it to Obama. I mean, what the fuck - after giving Kissinger one, it's not like the committee assigning them can be said to stand for anything approaching morality. Might as well do it for the memes.

    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.

    Look at his smile, he actually thinks he won something. what a pathetic little bitch.

    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.
