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.

    It’s fair to say that if that happens, the whole Nobel Peace Prize thing will become worthless.

      It became worthless in 1973 when they awarded it to Henry Kissinger

      Kissinger was a war mongering piece of shit. Untold number of people died horribly violent deaths because of him. Small pox is more deserving of a peace prize than Kissinger, because at least it kills everyone equally. Kissinger targeted the poorest and most vulnerable

      I look forward to someday pissing on his grave
