    can it be revoked?

    eta: I did the google and apparently it can’t be revoked, but I’m sure history will award it an asterisk.

      It’s not his. He’s just proud to be holding onto someone else’s award. Which is somehow the most pathetic thing I think I’ve ever heard. It’s like being a cuck for the actual holder.

      It can’t be revoked or transferred, he just has the physical token. He’s an idiot.

      I thought Aung San Suu Kyi’s was revoked given her later support for genocide, but I was mistaken.

      Machado’s not the first idiot to get the prize.

      Everyone knows Trump is childish and was desperate for a Nobel prize, but im really shocked that she game him hers.

      Like the Irony of her awarding it to him after invading her country. Basically, she’s sold out democracy.

    I thought right-wingers hated participation trophies for all kids, even the dregs. Hypocrite.

      Say what you will about participation awards, but at least their recipients actually participated in the activity in question. I don’t know what this is.

        I theorize he is trying to get into heaven (???) and he might believe that the only thing that could cancel out all his sins is to become the Nobel Peace Prize winner (???) through violence (???)

        None of this makes any sense if you don’t have severe dementia.

          I don’t think it’s dementia that did that, I think it’s a very specific type of psychological abuse that results in thinking that way. I suspect it’s from his father encouraging him to be a bully, placing high expectations, and not caring enough to watch him actually earn awards, just checking that he has them. This is all in line with the childhood his niece described in her book Too Much and Never Enough.

          A childhood like that could easily shape one’s understanding of achievement away from “doing the thing” to “having the rewards/symbol of having done the thing”. And if someone thinks having the trophy is more important than having won the competition I don’t see any reason they would feel the divine would think any differently. And I think even pre dementia he’d slowly drift from “I have the 2025 Nobel peace prize” to “I won the 2025 Nobel peace prize” slowly reshaping his memories until he doesn’t remember how he got it.

          Exactly. The prize itself is a joke even before this colossal self-own.

          He could. There are bribes for everything in this administration. You got pardon bribes, position of power bribes, keep quiet bribes, etc, etc.

            He didn’t do regime change. He took out Maduro but not the regime, he said he wasn’t going to install her cause she is not popular with the people in Vzla. She’s just kissing his ass. In a most pathetic way.

    The Nobel organization should rescind her award and give it to someone else. Now he just has a gold necklace and not an official Nobel Prize.

      He already just has a gold necklace and not an official peace prize. Giving away the physical medal doesn’t change who was officially given the award. Just like giving away an Olympic medal doesn’t make the new holder the winner of an Olympic event

    He can put it next to his “World’s Greatest Dad” mug which I’m sure he thinks is real, valid and earned rather than something to soothe his fragile ego

    I said it before but I’ll say it again, she deserves a Peace Prize just for shutting up that crybaby by giving hers to him.

      He is a bottomless pit of selfish needs, though, so even if he is ridiculous enough to accept a trophy regifted to him as the same thing as one awarded to him, he’ll want another.

      Unfortunately, she’s literally a fan of Trump. Not just because of the recent events either. She’s a hardline rightwinger from a rich family.

      Airport security would detect that. Radio-isotope poisoning is a favorite of the Russians, I’m sure the White house has multiple layers of detection set up for exactly that kind of thing.

        I don’t think trump uses airport security checks.

          I mean, even a security theater as incompetent as the TSA would catch this kind of thing. The White House security would probably know about it before the medal even made it in the same building as trump.

            I think my faith in their competency is a lot lower than yours.

            But you may be right.
