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.

did not say if he accepted it

I mean, did she really need to?

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

[–] Kjell@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I got bad vibes as soon as she started to talk about sharing the prize with Trump. To be honest I'm a bit worried what will happen in Venezuela if she becomes president. Because people who are willing to do anything to be leaders are rarely good leaders.

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

[–] MyMindIsLikeAnOcean@piefed.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

Low hanging griftard...

What a cheap whore

[–] Jimm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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?

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

wtaf. 😐
