Participation award.
Say what you will about participation awards, but at least their recipients actually participated in the activity in question. I don’t know what this is.
The zionist encouraging the us to install a puppet government won the peace prize.
Exactly. The prize itself is a joke even before this colossal self-own.
It’s a bribe.
I theorize he is trying to get into heaven (???) and he might believe that the only thing that could cancel out all his sins is to become the Nobel Peace Prize winner (???) through violence (???)
None of this makes any sense if you don’t have severe dementia.
It is because Obama got it before. It is not that deep
I don’t think it’s dementia that did that, I think it’s a very specific type of psychological abuse that results in thinking that way. I suspect it’s from his father encouraging him to be a bully, placing high expectations, and not caring enough to watch him actually earn awards, just checking that he has them. This is all in line with the childhood his niece described in her book Too Much and Never Enough.
A childhood like that could easily shape one’s understanding of achievement away from “doing the thing” to “having the rewards/symbol of having done the thing”. And if someone thinks having the trophy is more important than having won the competition I don’t see any reason they would feel the divine would think any differently. And I think even pre dementia he’d slowly drift from “I have the 2025 Nobel peace prize” to “I won the 2025 Nobel peace prize” slowly reshaping his memories until he doesn’t remember how he got it.
Well boy howdy, do I sure hope he gets to test that hypothetical assumption real soon.
Participation award.Bribe
LOL for what though? He’s not gonna make her President of Vzla.
He could. There are bribes for everything in this administration. You got pardon bribes, position of power bribes, keep quiet bribes, etc, etc.
He didn’t do regime change. He took out Maduro but not the regime, he said he wasn’t going to install her cause she is not popular with the people in Vzla. She’s just kissing his ass. In a most pathetic way.
I thought right-wingers hated participation trophies for all kids, even the dregs. Hypocrite.
DEI for pedos
haha oh man what a loser
Donnie wins the biggest boy prize.
lol. It actually happened?
What the fuck is this timeline?
can it be revoked?
eta: I did the google and apparently it can’t be revoked, but I’m sure history will award it an asterisk.
It’s not his. He’s just proud to be holding onto someone else’s award. Which is somehow the most pathetic thing I think I’ve ever heard. It’s like being a cuck for the actual holder.
It can’t be revoked or transferred, he just has the physical token. He’s an idiot.
It’s not transferrable. He gets the gold trinket, that’s it.
I thought Aung San Suu Kyi’s was revoked given her later support for genocide, but I was mistaken.
Machado’s not the first idiot to get the prize.
Everyone knows Trump is childish and was desperate for a Nobel prize, but im really shocked that she game him hers.
Like the Irony of her awarding it to him after invading her country. Basically, she’s sold out democracy.
A plastic existence
plz. where is the shadow cabal of some other government to stop this shit. plz. it’s morons in charge rn there’s a huge blind spot open. plz take it.
Well that thing is null and void now
I feel like her sacrificial decision to give him this (ultimately meaningless) symbolic token in exchange for the potential of peace for her country is showing why she deserved the Peace Prize in the first place. If handing it over makes Trump chill the hell out about working with Venezuela’s succession, it will have been worth it.
(This situation is obviously batshit insane and it’s pathetic that he’s extorting her, but at least she’s trying to use all her resources available to manipulate this mad king and sue for peace - if this Nobel Prize was driving his hatred, it’s best to sacrifice it I guess. Especially since the actual honor is non-transferrable LMAO)
???
If he wants something shiny, and it has a chance of protecting even one Venezuelan family from senseless tantrums, might as well hand it over. It’s not exactly a bold move but it is a peaceful one, and it might help.
Or she’s just selling out and kissing ass in hopes that the invaders will install her as a puppet and grant her money and power.
That was my first thought, yes, but I concede it could be both.
I mean, the people did vote for her… if someone is gonna have to be the puppet/figurehead it should still be her, not the previous administration.
I mean, the people did vote for her…
No they didn’t.
She encouraged him to invade. She’s kissing the ring not sacrificing dignity for country.
The Kissinger one didn’t do it, the Deporter in Chief with a War on Whistleblowers who started 5 wars and has a 90% civilian death rate among his drone strikes didn’t do it, but this is where you draw the line?
Also used the cia to impersonate vaccination workers.
A despicable act.
It’s like fucking Putin and the Superbowl ring.
Someone gave putin a superbowl ring? Is putin an american football fan?
He stoles its from us
He was allegedly being shown the ring when he simply walked it out of the room and didn’t return
Allegedly (wasn’t there myself)
What…? Didn’t know about this. Need to search web
Holy shit. What a piece of work…
… I had forgotten about that.
I’m sure this was a difficult choice.
It’s basically this, and hope that it buys enough goodwill with Trump to let you take over the government there, or you keep it and let the US operate the government as a puppet state.
Ultimately, if this pays off, the medal is a pretty cheap price to pay all things considered
The medal doesn’t even mean anything. It’s like buying a purple heart at an auction; doesn’t make you a veteran. Of course, Trump would never understand that.
It’s a gold trinket. Everyone has clued in this is what you do with Trump.
Be a puppet state either way, she just wants to signal that she’d be an enthusiastic puppet.
Her entire legitimacy at this point consists of being recognized by Western organizations and now grovelling to a hostile foreign power. She’d be the worst type of puppet.
I’m not so sure
Assuming she is appointed as the leader of the country, she can use that position to save people from callous deaths that would otherwise happen with a full US occupation.
It’s a harm reduction measure, rather than a path to victory
What B’s she is only thinking of herself and getting herself in power.
The venezuelan military is the de facto ruler since they made that deal to give up maduro and stand down.
Not so sure about that - a whole bunch of Vzlan military were killed in the kidnapping and bombing (US bombed military sites in Caracas) and had that new powerful sound cannon blasted at them that had them instantly debilitated & bleeding from the nose and ears.
The military would have told them about the loyalist factions obviously. The cubans. And whatever handful of other groups weren’t in on it. Not a chance the US could have pulled that off with a mobilized venzuelan military in the most protected places in the country. Not a chance they would have attempted it. They could have killed him easy enough, flying helicoptors in to grab him, not a chance.
The Nobel organization should rescind her award and give it to someone else. Now he just has a gold necklace and not an official Nobel Prize.
He already just has a gold necklace and not an official peace prize. Giving away the physical medal doesn’t change who was officially given the award. Just like giving away an Olympic medal doesn’t make the new holder the winner of an Olympic event
I know that. You know that. I really bet he doesn’t.
Fucking pathetic
Reflects the true heart of America.
I said it before but I’ll say it again, she deserves a Peace Prize just for shutting up that crybaby by giving hers to him.
She would deserve the peace prize if she poisoned it and assassinated him
He is a bottomless pit of selfish needs, though, so even if he is ridiculous enough to accept a trophy regifted to him as the same thing as one awarded to him, he’ll want another.
JFC, how pathetic this guy is.
That’s not how medals work, asshole.
Who would have thought a guy practically in the Silent Generation would have pined for a participation trophy? Such a loser.
Not even a participation trophy. I have recieved exactly 1 trophy in my life. It was a 1992 participation trophy for playing 1st grade basketball as mandated by the school.
But I DID play the season of basketball. I DID participste.
Show me where trump has participated in acts that promote peace.
What ending the wars in palestine, syria, lebanon, yemen, palestine again, yemen, lebanon, then iran, then palestine aren’t good enough for you?
Well do not worry he may be ending wars this year in venezuela, cuba, mexico, canada, denmark, and iran again. /s
There’s 195 countries in the world and we’re engaged in like 7 different wars so that’s 188 wars that Trump has prevented by not randomly deciding to attack them /s
