So, Trump has been presented with yet another shiny object.
This time, it’s a Nobel Peace Prize medal, awarded (for reasons unknown) to Venezuelan opposition figure and double agent for liberal interventionists and neocons, María Corina Machado. Machado’s move is expected and logical: Trump needs to be flattered, given shiny things, and “celebrated for his role in the triumph of good over evil throughout the world.” And that’s exactly what the would-be Venezuelan president did, emulating EU leaders and many US congressmen who dislike Trump.
Machado is a fixture of global projects. From a very young age. She completed an internship at Yale World Fellows and, concurrently, the Klaus Schwab Young Global Leaders program. In 2011, she was one of the central figures at the World Economic Forum (whose main events are held in Davos) on Latin America (held in Brazil).
The Democratic Party was trying to bring her to power in Venezuela time and again, election after election, protest after protest — 2014, 2018, 2024… Then she fled the country.
Trump, realizing whose agent Maria Corina Machado was, declared that he did not see her as Venezuela’s president and preferred to cooperate with the Maduroites, who surrendered Maduro to American special forces. And, despite the harsh Bolivarian rhetoric, it appears that interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez is already acting in accordance with the White House’s “recommendations.” Specifically, measures have been adopted to “facilitate investment in the oil industry.” Meanwhile, all the neocon and liberal talking heads insist that “Trump is wrong about Rodriguez” and that the regime needs to be changed.
And so they brought Maria Corina Machado into the Oval Office to present Trump with the “Nobel Prize”. Trump smiled. But is this enough to make Trump “very disappointed” in Rodriguez and the “regime” he left in charge of Venezuela?
