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.

I fully expect her to give him her medallion, and then he will expect people to complement him on "my Nobel Prize, which I earned fair and square, unlike that lying Obama, who rigged the vote to get it". Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that he is now a Nobel Prize winner will be sent to CECOT.

She will do this, expecting Trump to endorse her to run Venezuela, but he will deport her instead.
