Nobel Institute: Trump can't just take Machado's Peace Prize [View all]
Donald Trump is so openly desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize that members of his administration attacked the Nobel Committee for putting politics over peace when they gave last years prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado rather than the U.S. president.
And now, Venezuelas future might hinge on Machados willingness to hand her award over to Trump.,
Machado immediately dedicated her prize to Trump (and the suffering people of Venezuela) in October. But apparently that wasnt good enough for the U.S. president. Hours after the U.S. struck Caracas and ousted Nicolás Maduro on Saturday, Trump said that while Machados stand-in candidate won more than two-thirds of the vote in Venezuelas last election, Itd be very tough for her to be the leader, because she doesnt have the support or the respect within the country. So now Delcy Rodríguez, Maduros vice president, is acting president.,
Over the weekend, two sources close to the White House told the Washington Post that Trump didnt want Machado to lead the country because committed the ultimate sin of accepting her Nobel Peace Prize.

Didn't somebody give Trump his Purple Heart medal? That might explain his mindset on the Nobel prize.
