Yesterday at the White House, Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado, who was awarded the prize late last year, gave her medal to the POTUS in recognition of what she described as his committment to Venezuela’s freedom. This came after Trump greenlit an American operation that has seen Venezuela’s leader Nicolás Maduro arrested and taken to the U.S.
I would love to live in such a simple universe. Like, where people are desperately trying to get the prize itself, like it’s some kind of Duck Tales mcguffin that you have to get in a wacky race with a dozen other competitors to acquire physically.
Picturing chemists and researchers climbing over each other to be the last one holding the sacred golden disc.
