The Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has handed over the Nobel Peace Prize she was awarded last year to Donald Trump.

I can't write any more as words fail me.sad

It has already been said that the Peace Prize cannot be transferred

He's still not backing her to run Venezuela though. The whole thing smacks of desperation

I know aggie that is why I said "Got his hands on" and not been awarded but thank you for the clarification.

It makes a complete mockery of it.

Maremia Sat 17-Jan-26 09:10:34

Now she has nothing to bargain with. Think he gave her a Trump White House goodie bag.

Surely even Trump knows you have to deserve the peace prize and can't have it as a gift from the true recipient? Maybe not.

The Nobel Prize has sadly become a farce.

The Nobel Peace Prize Award cannot be transferred under any conditions.

Absolutely a true farce and not from the organisation which bestows recipients with this award.

He was so desperate to get his greedy hands on it, he's 'accepted' it even though it means nothing.

The man has dementia. His father died of it.
His handlers are well aware of it, and are just keeping him happy.

What kind of man accepts an award that was not awarded to him ?
As has already been said " Words Fail Me".

Casdon Sat 17-Jan-26 17:11:33

At least he won’t be able to ask for it again next year now he has one. I wonder what he will do with it, and if it is a huge pure gold trophy, as surely only such a prize would fit the trophy cabinet in the gilded front entrance of the White House?

Unbelievable!

And have we all read the latest breaking news! Any country supporting Greenland and not trump’s desire for taking the country over, will be liable to tariffs on goods exported to the USA. Can this man stoop any lower? Probably

I’d rather the whole world did not have to be turned upside down just to keep Trump happy.

He does not have the prize, only a bit of metal. You can buy medals on E-bay.

StoneofDestiny Sat 17-Jan-26 19:34:33

It's just embarrassing - as if you could transfer a Nobel Prize. Maybe he will ask to be given a Professorship next without studying, or a Pilots License without flying lessons or the ability to start WW3 without just cause .......oh wait........

Remember that fairy story about the Emporer’s new clothes?

He can have my 12 yards swimming certificate if he likes!

Curlywhirly Sat 17-Jan-26 20:16:07

I've got a Cycling Proficiency Certificate he can have, along with all our children's junior rugby trophies 😉
