"She added: “I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!” ...She’s a populist. She’s a capitalist. She’s a surrogate for Trump."
"Maybe I was wrong. A month after the Norwegians awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to the Venezuelan opposition leader, the decision looks better and better especially when I look at things from what may be their perspective.
" 'OK, they have to award in October a prize whose deadline was January 31. It is a ridiculously early deadline but the rules are the rules. After the deadline, Trump brokered a half dozen peace agreements, which put pressure on them to award the prize to Trump—especially his breakthrough Gaza Agreement to end the FAFO War.
"But the committee could not consider his efforts this year.
"This is a PR mess for Norway especially after giving one to Barack Hussein Obama for his first 12 days as president. Europeans loved him because he was black. The elitists hate Trump, but he earned the Peace Prize. What to do? What to do? What to do?
"Norway gave the prize to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado. She did not make the betting lists for the prize." . . .
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for her struggle to achieve a democratic transition in the South American nation, winning recognition as a woman “who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”
CNN’s story on Machado waited until Paragraph 18 to reveal:
"Machado said she dedicates her award to Trump because it’s “absolutely fair, and that’s what the Venezuelan people feel,” adding that the US leader is addressing her country’s “tragic situation.”
“I absolutely think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize because of (the) incredible events that are taking place currently in the world,” she said.
The US leader has repeatedly stressed that he believed he deserved to win the prize for ending “unsolvable” wars during his second term, including the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Trump said he spoke with Machado after learning of the news and said she was “very nice” in their call. Machado also publicly thanked Trump at the time on social media “for his decisive support of our cause.”
