To be fair, it isn't Hegseth's genius idea. He is merely a puppet.

Nobel prize representatives have to remind us all that the Nobel Prize is personal and not transferable...
In our Spanish news reports we have been told that Machado has not been deemed capable of running Venezuela because Trump is pissed off she stole his Nobel Peace Prize. What an ego, what a joke!
Most likely Trump's opinion on Machado is only bacause it must be a lot more difficult to manipulate than Delcy who is already corrupt to the marrow.
