(44,348 posts)Does he get the money too? I’m sure that’s what he’s interested in.

(8,602 posts)That's why he is insatiable and has to keep destroying things/people/places. Those things remind him daily, possibly hourly, or even moment to moment, that HE IS A FAILURE & Daddy didn't love him. He is a black hole of infantile need and he will destroy everything that gets within his ever growing field of gravity.
We used to put people like him in institutions for their own safety and ours. But taking care of the insane doesn't turn enough profit, so TPTB said 'fuck that' and brainwashed enough people to think their taxes would go down if we left the insane on the streets.

(6,375 posts)they get. That's why he demeaned McCain. Trump prefers a) people who never enlisted in the military, and b) never got captured in battle.
Seriously believe that he more values what he's stolen than what he's earned.

He doesn't understand respect is earned.
Hey Joe
(538 posts)His pathetic neediness and grasping for the fame and accolades of his betters, wether it
is a Purple Heart he did not earn, a Nobel Peace Prize he desperately wanted or attaching his name to the memorial of another president who he knows he will never measure up to.
He is a human incubus, a suckhole of greed and want who knows he will never measure up.

(130,025 posts)Once it's awarded it's a done deal for all eternity. There was a huge shitstorm when it was awarded to Henry Kissinger, and if the committee could have revoked it they probably would have.
hlthe2b
(113,474 posts)She can give the money away and the medallion, if she chooses, but there is no recognition of transfer.
Tough luck, you pathetic orange POS...
Aren't we proud? 
Ocelot II
(130,025 posts)though he’d have to alter the medal or have a replica made that had his name on it and not hers. And I have no doubt that he would do that.

You’d have no real authenticity or support. You’d be lucky to see next Christmas. Maduro’s henchmen are still everywhere there.

"A Nobel Prize cannot be revoked nor transferred to others. Once the laureate or laureates are announced, the decision is final," said Erik Aasheim, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Nobel Institute, which serves as the secretariat for the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Aasheim added that while the prize itself is not transferable, laureates are free to dispose of the prize money as they see fit.
The statement followed remarks by Machado during a Fox News interview on Monday, in which she praised Trump's actions that led to the capture of Venezuela's former president, Nicolás Maduro, and said that "because this is the prize of the Venezuelan people, certainly we want to give it to him and share it with him." Machado said she had not spoken directly with Trump since October, when she dedicated the award to him after it was announced.

It was at that point that the officials responsible for the award apparently felt the need to issue a clarification of sorts. The Associated Press reported:
The organization that oversees the Nobel Peace Prize is throwing cold water on talk of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado giving her recent award to President Donald Trump.
Once the Nobel Peace Prize is announced, it can’t be revoked, transferred or shared with others, the Norwegian Nobel Institute said in a short statement on Friday.
“The decision is final and stands for all time,” the institute explained in a written statement.
It was, as best as I can tell, the first time in the 125-year history of the award that the Nobel Prize committee found it necessary to issue such a clarification. It also led The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum to note, summarizing the circumstances, “It’s hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become.”
