It has been reported Machado was selected last week prior to the signing of the Gaza peace deal. This is an excellent choice as she has been leading the struggle against the Chavismo dictatorship.

I agree. She’s a deserving choice.
Also, the nomination process ended in Jan. I don’t know if Trump had been nominated in time.
Maybe next year...

Trump was nominated. It is relatively easy to get nominated as the number of nominees are in the hundreds.

While I do not argue against this woman and the validity of her being awarded the Nobal Peace Prize, no one can deny that Donald Trump has done more to bring about peace in this world, whether during his first term as POTUS (Abraham Accords, among many other efforts) or during his second term (Israel/Gaza peace agreement (among MANY others). There has NEVER been a more deserving recipient for tirelessly effort ing to bring about peace between opposing entities. It is not surprising that they did not give it to him as, from my understanding, they are virulent anti-American (thr Nobel committee).

Trump will never be given the prize. It never will go to a conservative. He deserves it. Maybe if he can solve the Russo-Ukraine War? No that will go to Zelenskyy.

Nobel gave their liberal prize to Obama merely for getting elected. He hadn’t even taken office yet when nominated.

Outside of the money given it is a badge of shame for being associated with those losers.

Really?

That means that Obama was nominated even before he took office?

Nobel “Peace” Prize and Lenin “Peace” Prize are now forever interchangeable.
This will have the communists Democrats and Surrender Monkeys dancing but in the long run it will be another notch in Trump’s belt as one by one he continues to destroy the left’s icons. He got them to do it to themselves.

Thanks for typing that so we don’t have too, this Nobel award is forever cheapened and for all of history beyond the Soetoro days. Besides, if President Trump had won it would have been tarnished and diminished anyway.

However it have been entertaining had he won and then rejected it for this reason!

That means that Obama was nominated even before he took office?

According to Wikipedia, Bath House Barry was nominated after being in office less than two weeks.

He said "I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments but rather an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations."

So, he admits that he did nothing to deserve the prize other than being black.

Obama won in 2009 for giving campaign speeches.
Seriously. That’s all he had done.

Will the award ceremony be held during halftime at the Super Bowl?

In my eyes the Nobel Peace Prize is tarnished and is worthless because of the people running it.

Yes, but, but, our dear leader obama gave us Hope and Change. /s/

Seriously, for those that do not remember, obama was elected based on campaign slogans. “Hope & Change” was plastered all over the place. Couple that with him being black and he was labeled the “New Messiah”, “The Magic Negro” and the man that will bring us all together. I suspect the idiots giving out the Peace Prize fell for this line of bull shit, which was why he got it before he could start destroying the world.
