    I meant to say I disagree that trump cares about the Nobel peace prize. I see people commenting that the reason she wasn’t selected as president of Venezuela was because she accepted Nobel Peace Prize, which he really wanted to get.

      I mean it’s pretty obvious that Trump does care a great deal about the Peace prize. He was going on and on about it last year, and even convinced FIFA to give him a Temu Peace prize instead.

      And Trump’s insecurities surrounding Obama have been much documented since the beginning of his 2016 run. Those insecurities provide a pretty significant motivation for his desire to get the Peace prize.
