From the announcement:

Machado is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize first and foremost for her efforts to advance democracy in Venezuela. But democracy is also in retreat internationally. Democracy " understood as the right to freely express one's opinion, to cast one's vote and to be represented in elective government " is the foundation of peace both within countries and between countries.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Machado "the personification of resilience, tenacity, and patriotism" in a profile for her inclusion in this year's TIME 100 list of the most influential people in the world."

MAGA is complaining that the Nobel was given to an "unknown" as part of a "popularity contest".

Get around to explaining that after you find those eight wars Trump solved.

And they don't include Gaza, which is already falling apart.

But, but...King Dotard eliminated every conflict on Earth. The lion lies down with the lamb only because King Dotard wills it. Unfair!!!

Also, we know the Nobel committee is AntiFa, so there's that.

Ignorance is a proudly proclaimed and embraced feature of MAGA's Dawpatchlandia.

Maria Corina Machado is a far-right activist and big Trump fan.

Donald Trump's 4th Grader pursuit of the Nobel was a continuing humiliation for the United States.

His epic 2nd Grader meltdown because he did not get it will be our further humiliation.

No, he's just showing how the selection actually is. It's not meant for "Peace". It's meant for "people who think like me".

Why else would Obama have won it after being in office two weeks? He did nothing special as a senator for two years to get this award.

I understand Trump wasn't eligible and missed the deadline, but he should get this award next year. He is actually doing peace and for you to say he isn't is stupid.

Donald Trump has created a self-aggrandizing set of delusions that he invites, and needs, people like you to buy into.

No one knows what he or you are talking about, BOAZ.

Only thing orange pedo deserves is the POS Prize and a bunk at Leavenworth.

Is he going to be any less of a pig next year?

It's not just that Donald Trump is a very, very unpleasant man, BOAZ.
