F.U.D.J.T. - "Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others"

WASHINGTON — The organization that oversees the Nobel Peace Prize clarified rules about how it's earned after Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado talked about giving President Donald Trump her recent award.

"Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others," the Norwegian Nobel Institute said in a statement Friday. "The decision is final and stands for all time."

The statement comes after Machado said she’d like to give or share the prize with Trump, who oversaw the successful U.S. operation to capture authoritarian Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. He is facing drug trafficking charges in New York.

"I certainly would love to be able to personally tell him that we believe — the Venezuelan people, because this is a prize of the Venezuelan people — certainly want to, to give it to him and share it with him," Machado told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday. "What he has done is historic. It’s a huge step towards a democratic transition."

That's what I want to know.

Revoking a confirmation ought to be easier than arguing over what constitutes impeachable offenses.

Shameless disgusting global begging for a prize he will never earn.
He is stark raving mad. At this time, he is bombing and stealing countries while simultaneously demanding peace awards.
This should be a national embarrassment.

For me, that was much more offensive than this...not that this ISN'T offensive. Of course it is...but Trump is an unrepentant draft dodger, even joking about how "avoiding STDs was his own personal Vietnam"...

...he's a pig. That's the 25 words or less summation that covers all the bases, I'd say. He wants what he hasn't earned because somehow, in his pathologically damaged brain, he's convinced himself that he "deserves" it.
