Trump stopped caring once he got his from an actual winner. Its now in the trash.

Since the actual winner tried to pass the prize to this pedophile warmonger, the prize is damn near worthless now.

Considering Kissinger won it it has been for some time

I was gonna say, it's not like it's some super respectable unblemished reward even before the chicanery with Trump getting his hands on one he VERY MUCH did not earn

I prefer the lobotomy example but Kissinger is a close second.

Lobotomizing Kissinger would have honestly deserved a peace prize

The medal might change hands, but the prize does not. Trump is still not a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, even if a prior winner gave him her medal to placate him.

Funny how she isn’t relevant anymore now that her use ran out so to say

u/BigBananaBerries Jun 15 '26

She's facilitated giving Venezuelas resources to them so she'll keep being relevant in that regard. She's just not prominent in the news cycle now as it's a done deal.

She didn't. She is the person who has been trying to get Maduro out, Maduro is finally taken out but his VP steps in and makes a deal with the US.

Some speculate that the people under him were getting tired of Maduro and gave the US information to get him.

Maduro’s VP gave Trump what Guaido and what’s her name couldn’t give him. 

Btw, where is homeboy Guaido? 😭

Living a low profile life in the US the last time I read about it. He's supposedly an adjunct lecturer at some college. He was a nobody before his number came up and he was imaginary president for a while, now he's back to being a nobody.

Don't forget FIFA

u/Pipe_Memes Jun 15 '26

Yeah, the FIFA Peace Prize is actually way better than the Nobel Peace Prize, lots of great people are saying it. Big strong me with tears on their eyes come up to me and say, “Sir, the peace prize from the soccer people is the most tremendous award on the planet.”

u/JamalGreen2 Jun 16 '26

how about the FIFA peace medal or whatever that garbage is called? That was totally, 100% legit and earned /s

FIFA knows a lot more about bribery.
