This shows just how Trump is megalomaniac narcissist riddle with petty jealousy and spite. He didn’t appoint Venezuela’s opposition leader president after his kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro because she had committed the heinous crime of receiving a Nobel prize instead of him. The internet newsletter’s article runs
‘Trump sidelined Venezuela opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for “ultimate sin” of accepting Nobel Peace Prize
Nothing could be more on-brand and quintessentially Trumpian than the report coming from The Washington Post about how Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was apparently iced out of Trump’s post-abduction governing plans for the nation of 30 million because she committed the unforgivable sin of accepting the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize instead of demanding it be given to him. During a press conference following the mission, Donald threw Machado under the bus, stating, “It’d be very tough for her to be the leader” because “she doesn’t have the support or the respect within the country.” The comments reportedly stunned members of Venezuela’s opposition, who had expected Washington to rally behind Machado, according to The Post. For anyone to be stunned by Donald Trump’s spiteful, self-serving behavior at this point is newsworthy in and of itself, for the president’s petulance is truly unmatched. And while this side plot ultimately isn’t even close to the most consequential revelation of the weekend, it should serve as stark reminder to anyone on the world stage willing to play ball with Donald; he will never not put his own ego and self-interest first.’
