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.

For him, acquisition is the same as earning it. Technically, it's receiving the prize. In his eyes, there is no difference.

Well the notion of earning something has always been 100% foreign to him all his life, it's a concept that never even intersected with his needs and wants, so yes, i think you're accurate

This is how he has gotten everything in life. Sex, money, fame. Born with a silver spoon right up his ass. This only tracks, should surprise absolutely no-one.
