Does the rule also apply to the Noble Peace prize or FIFA peace prize?

Can Orange Julius sell them to the highest bidder of acquired or earned?

This only proclamation covers the Nobel Prize, not the “Noble” the idiot scribbles on crayon about.

2. Nobel Committee Says Peace Prize Cannot Be Transferred After Machado Says She Wants to 'Share It' With Trump
Sat Jan 10, 2026, 11:05 AM
Jan 10

This award is not transferable



https://www.latintimes.com/nobel-committee-says-peace-prize-cannot-transferred-after-machado-says-she-wants-share-it-trump-593332

The Norwegian Nobel Institute said that a Nobel Peace Prize cannot be transferred or shared with another person, responding to comments by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who said she wanted to "share" her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize with U.S. President Donald Trump.

"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.

Sun Jan 11, 2026, 08:36 AM

And they gave her a peace prize for that?

She wanted and encouraged pedo Trump to kidnap the Maduros and they thought let's give her a prize for peace keeping.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee slapped her on the back and said way to keep the peace while she was telling pedo Trump to invade Venezuela and steal their oil.

Seems they should have given her the war mongering prize. She does more of that than she does do anything about keeping the peace. What a meaningless award.

Everything about him is a fraud, so no, he doesn't worry about going to hell. In fact, he probably believes he IS God.

You have it correct that he is only guided by his very base instincts, none of which are Christian.

Obama got it, he was overseeing two wars. I think the Nobel committee was hoping that by giving him the award, Obama would stop the wars.

It didn't work.

For those who say Obama didn't deserve it, they're right. Even Obama said he didn't deserve it.

Considering some of the clowns to whom the committee has awarded it, it's value is proportional to the worst recipient. It's a lot like the various Halls of Fame in that, or sports awards like Golden Gloves and MVPs. Some of the choices just suck.

She desperately wants to kiss his ass and get his endorsement for election as President of Venezuela.

He desperately wants a Nobel Peace Prize.

If she gives hers to him, in the minds of reasonable, intelligent people it will be an empty, stupid gesture.

In his mind it’s an honor; in her mind it gains her some important support; in the minds of 35% of the US electorate it makes him a Nobel laureate.

Neither he nor she gives a rat’s ass what reasonable, intelligent people think.
