Trump Supporters in Disbelief After Nobel Committee Passes Him Over in Icy Silence

The Norwegian Nobel Committee delivered a sophisticated rebuke to President Donald Trump by disregarding his pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize. Instead, they awarded the esteemed honor to Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan democracy advocate currently in hiding for her tireless efforts to champion democratic rights in her homeland.Machado, showcasing her grace, acknowledged Trump in her acceptance remarks. Despite Trump's fervent campaign for the award since his return to office in January, the committee chose to overlook his ambitions. During a recent press conference, Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes sidestepped questions regarding Trump, suggesting he does not embody the essence of the prize, while emphasizing the committee’s focus on integrity and courage.In honoring Machado, they highlighted her as an "extraordinary example of civilian courage." They emphasized the importance of recognizing brave freedom advocates who defy authoritarianism, underscoring that democracy relies on individuals who courageously advocate for it.
