Organisers clarify award ‘cannot be revoked, shared or transferred’ after Venezuelan opposition leader’s comments
The organisers of the Nobel peace prize have said it “cannot be revoked, shared or transferred” after Venezuela’s opposition leader, María Corina Machado, said she wanted to give her award to Donald Trump.
When Machado was named Nobel laureate in October, it was seen as a snub by the White House, despite Machado rushing to dedicate the prize to the US president and his “decisive support of our cause”.
Trump has made no secret of his strongly held desire to be awarded the Nobel peace prize, the winner of which is selected by an independent five-person committee in Oslo.
Leave it up to trump to put a gun to somebody’s head and threaten to kill them unless they hand over their Nobel peace prize.
The levels of asshole and dumb here is again amazing.
In that aspect I kinda impressed by trump, in a sick, twisted sense, that is. Every time I think the asshole has hit rock bottom, somehow he just keeps digging and actually get himself deeper, still. Going on like this, he might actually find and pass hitler on his way down.
I don’t think he’s as stupid as we all think he is. Well, I do and I don’t. Ever have a friend who just got musical theory from a young age? Trump is a grade A dumbass except when it comes to being a calculated piece of shit. I’ve never seen anyone more successfully opportunistic with dipping their toes into what they can get away with than him. It’s honestly an impressive, albeit morally bankrupt skill.
