Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize.
He told Fox News Channel it would be “a great honor” to accept the one awarded to María Corina Machado, apparently unaware that’s not how it works. The Norwegian Nobel Institute had to explain publicly that the prize cannot be “revoked, shared, or transferred.” On Saturday, as bombing mission reports came in from Syria, Trump was being briefed on “large-scale aerial strike” options for Iran. This after invading Venezuela, capturing its president, and threatening to take Greenland by military force.
Not everything is running as smoothly as Trump insists. On Friday, he promised oil executives “total safety, total security” in Venezuela. By Saturday, the State Department was telling American citizens to leave the country immediately because armed militias were hunting them at roadblocks.
