"Trump has been foreshadowing that he would be honored to accept the Nobel Peace Prize from 2025 recipient Maria Corina Machado. After reporting that suggested her failure to refuse the prize contributed to Trump's decision not to support her, Machado told Sean Hannity she'd love to give her award to the president. Machado and Trump closed the deal on Thursday at the White House, although the honor that goes with the award is non-transferable."
"OUTFRONT tonight, Trump gets his Nobel Peace Prize. Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado brought the medal to the White House today. She says she offered it to Trump. Yes. This happened. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) As for Machado, she really didn't have a choice. All right. She needs Trump. And Trump cares this much. He cares this much about this prize. So much that he had demeaned her ability to lead Venezuela."
"I'm reminded of all the people who said, like, we were, you know, giving little kids too many soccer trophies just for participating and how this is going to make all of our children weaker."
CNN anchors roasted President Donald Trump after Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado brought her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal to the White House and offered it to him. Trump had signaled he would be honored to accept the prize. Reporting suggested Machado's decision not to refuse the medal influenced Trump's withholding of support for her; Machado later told Sean Hannity she would give her award to the president. Anchors including Jake Tapper, Kasie Hunt, and Erin Burnett mocked the gift as a coerced, participation-style honor and criticized the optics of accepting a non-transferable prize medal.
