The left is loving that President Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. But Venezuela's Right-Wing Conservative leader Machado wins it. And they are ignoring that she specifically dedicated her win in part to President Trump ---

---------------------------------

  • Machado's Praise for Trump: She has called Trump "courageous" and a "visionary" for his support, describing him as Venezuela's "biggest opportunity" for regime change. Upon winning the Nobel on October 10, 2025, she dedicated it in part to him: "I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!" She congratulated him post-election, stating, "We have always counted on you," and affirmed that a future democratic Venezuelan government would be a "reliable ally" for his administration.
  • Trump's Support for Machado: Trump has publicly backed her as a "democracy activist" and "freedom fighter." In January 2025, after her brief detention during protests, he warned Maduro not to harm her, emphasizing that she and opposition figure Edmundo Gonzlez represent "the voices and the WILL of the Venezuelan people." His administration has imposed sanctions, rescinded oil licenses for Chevron in Venezuela, and deployed warships to curb drug trafficking linked to Maduroactions Machado has endorsed.
  • Shared Networks and Engagements: Machado maintains "close contact" with Trump officials like Secretary of State Marco Rubio (son of Cuban refugees) and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who called her a "light of hope" for Venezuelans. She appeared on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast Triggered in early 2025, pitching urgent U.S. intervention and aligning with MAGA rhetoric against Biden's "weak" policies. Both share ideological affinities as market liberals critical of socialism.

    It never hurts that Big Daddy has your back. I am glad she won it. It focuses the light on the Venezuelan struggle for freedom.

    I'm pretty sure having the Nobel Peace Prize winner dedicating the award to you is actually more prestigious than winning the prize. That Danish crap has gone downhill on a rocket sled since Obama won it.

    Maduro has learned first hand that trump will blow his drug boats and whatever navy he has out of the water.

    The vote was Monday. Tough timing but classy move by the winner.

    Somewhat surprised the committee wouldn't call an audible and pre-award the 2026 medal at the same time - would be great marketing for a news cycle or two.

    Yeah - but why should he seek their validation?
    It's irrelevant to me in relation to how successful his Presidency has been so far.

    If Trump wins it next year, he should decline to accept it.

    This.

    Hopefully this is another step towards Maduro's exit.

    Schrodinger's Nobel Peace Prize

    Trump didn't win? Prize doesn't mean anything.
    Trump won? Biggest deal on the planet.


    The person who won this year deserved it.

    Maybe Obama could give the Nobel prize he won for simply not being George W. Bush to Trump.

    Imagine celebrating that the President of the United States did not receive this award, while the winner dedicates the award to the President of the United States.

    Are you trolling me?

    I just made a joke about the reactions to the prize, it's a mix of "he deserves it" and "it's meaningless".

    Hope that helps.

    Apparently you don't read thread titles.

    The deserving person who won the award dedicated her win to President Trump.

    And that underlines where we stand as a nation.

    Democrats, such as Biden and Obama, support and collude with thugs like Chavez and Maduro.

    Trump stands with Machado, fighting to free her people from the authoritarian rule you and your party strengthened.

    The prize itself has long been a joke.

    The only value to me for Trump winning it was purely schadenfreude for the Dems having to choke on it.

    According to the prevailing leftist nomenclature ' Anti-Communist makes her a 'fascist''. Hence any triggering that may happen here.

    Trump winning the Nobel Prize would be kind of like Paul Krugman agreeing with Trump's policy around cutting wasteful spending.

    Everyone knows that Trump deserves praise for shutting down USAID, but we would all be shocked if someone like Krugman admitted it. And, if he did, that would be a very big deal.

    See, for example, comments about the Washington Post / Trump / Nobel.

    When Obama won it, I told my Muslim friend in San Fran that it was bs and Obama had not done anything to deserve it. He said Obama won it for "potential". ha ha now they are giving out rewards before the achievement??

    At the start of the Syrian civil war, that Nobel "peace" prize winner was strongly considering bombing both sides in the conflict. So much for potential.

    This is great, and another reason while the award actually works out well. Its basically an anti-Maduro declaration and endorsement of Monroe Doctrine 2025.
