It is said that Trump did not give her dominion over Venezuela because he was miffed over her getting the Peace Prize and not him. She's a fascist by the way.
If I were on the Nobel Prize committee, I’d feel deeply ashamed seeing the prize reduced to a kind of political currency. It’s meant to recognize extraordinary contributions to humanity, not to be leveraged as a gesture or bargaining chip in political theater.
The title accurately describes what happened without any sense of editorial sensationalism. The title doesn’t match word for word with what the original had but that’s not even close to the same thing you’re complaining about.
First the fact that she received the price when a ton of people where far more deserving of it in terms of raw achievements toward peace.
Then the fact that she would sell the price and what it represents for a slim (read inexistent)k shot at being instated as the president of Venezuella, where I read that the majority of people have a very unfavorable opinion of her.
And finally the fact that she would sell away the Peace price to Donald Trump, the very same person considering invading Greenland for aura farming purposes!
I think they have to shut down the Noble peace price at this point, there's no recovering from such an embarrassing turn of events.
