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

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

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

this is so embarrassing for everyone involved, yikes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So pathetic for the both of them

Fascist sycophant.

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

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

Did South Park do this as a bit already?

Boot licker.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Suck up

did not say if he accepted it

I mean, did she really need to?

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.

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

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.

The Nobel committee is a joke

She also loves Israel, go figure.

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

Literally this

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.

Another Dunning-Krugerrand for the pile

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

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

As a Venezuelan I can say, what a shameful exhibition

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.

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?
