Trump Sidelines Venezuela's Opposition Leader Because She Won The Nobel Peace Prize And He Didn't

Reports say Trump believed she should have refused the prize or insisted it be awarded to him instead. As a result, he reportedly withdrew support for her as a potential leader in a transitional Venezuelan government.

I asked co-pilot to evaluate this claim -

Trump has cut María Corina Machado out of his plans for a future Venezuelan government because she received the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize and he didn't.

=====================================================================

Short answer: True — according to multiple news reports.

Based on the information available from reputable news outlets, the claim is true: reporting indicates that Donald Trump sidelined María Corina Machado in his post‑Maduro plans because she accepted the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, which he has long wanted for himself.

Here’s what the reporting shows:

Multiple sources close to the White House told The Washington Post that Trump viewed Machado’s acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize as the “ultimate sin”.
Reports say Trump believed she should have refused the prize or insisted it be awarded to him instead.
As a result, he reportedly withdrew support for her as a potential leader in a transitional Venezuelan government.

So the statement in your question aligns with what these news reports describe.

Machado is a right winger who has been at the forefront of opposing Chavez and Maduro for well over a decade. She reportedly does not oppose Trump's plans for the oil.

Whats left ?

Trump's malignant narcissism.

What a petty, narcissitic, evil little "man".

Think I should be prosecuted for treason for calling him evil and little?

Looking at him, I think we need an exorcism. There is nothing but moral rot behind that face.

We're going to need to go directly to the top. Does Pope Leo have any experience?

U.S. plan to ‘run’ Venezuela clouded in confusion and uncertainty - The Washington Post

Associates of Machado, who covertly escaped Venezuela last month with the help of the United States to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony in Norway , were caught off-guard by Trump’s comment, according to a person close to her team.

On Sunday, she and her supporters once again urged the Venezuelan diaspora to rally in the streets. But with the two most prominent leaders outside the country — González fled to Spain last year after the election, and Machado’s location is not known — there was little they could do to mobilize a response inside Venezuela.

One Venezuelan opposition leader, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal discussions, said Trump’s remarks were difficult for many in the opposition movement to hear, but “in every transition, you have to swallow some bitter pills.”

This person said the next 48 hours could help clarify whether Rodríguez could usher in a “soft transition” by replacing hard-line ministers or rather continue Maduro’s government with “gringo guardianship.”

Two people close to the White House said the president’s lack of interest in boosting Machado, despite her recent efforts to flatter Trump, stemmed from her decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, an award the president has openly coveted .

Although Machado ultimately said she was dedicating the award to Trump, her acceptance of the prize was an “ultimate sin,” said one of the people.
