Donald Trump has said it would be “an honor” take Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize if she offered it to him, as he prepares to meet the exiled politician next week.

Machado has been in hiding due to persistent threats on her life, emerging only briefly in Oslo after a three-day mission in which she was smuggled out of the country with the help of the U.S. military for the Nobel ceremony.

    He also stole a football (soccer) trophy last year. And then put himself in the winners circle and then stole one of their medals. He is the definition of stolen valor.

      Lmao, I did that in high school. My grade was called to the podium to receive a medal and I stand up with all the guys that actually played sports. When the PE teacher were giving the medals he said to me that I better join the team next year.

      There is a fundamental psychological difference between Trump and me. I can’t imagine getting any joy out of a trophy I did nothing to earn
