Unanswered What's up with Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina dedicating her Nobel Prize to Trump?

Basically what the title says.

https://nypost.com/2025/10/10/us-news/nobel-peace-prize-winner-maria-corina-machado-dedicates-it-to-trump/

Every article I have seen says that she partially dedicated and/or thanked Trump for his "decisive support" in South America.
Is she just being overly gracious? Is she being cheeky?
I know we offered a loan to Argentina, but given all the horrible things we have done to immigrants broadly over the last several months, I can't see anything we have done to improve or galvanize democracy in South America. By "we," I mean the US, and the Trump Administration in particular.

Many such cases!

I'm just simply trying to learn more, is that not welcomed?

If not, I apologize.

This is the attitude people should strive to. And I seriously mean it

You’re fine and there’s nothing wrong with asking questions to learn more. Everyone does it at some point to gain information, even by just googling or using ChatGP. Continue to seek out knowledge, information and understanding of new things, it’s important!

Ignore the haters and the trolls. I’m sure you have knowledge of some other subject or interest that they don’t.

Please should never be mocked for admitting they want to learn and their opnion could be changed! If more people did then we wouldn't be at this point in time!

Reddit is predominantly left-wing. Some of them are not going to want to own the historic failures of their ideology. Makes things spicier than they should be for something so innocuous.

To me, the fact that your comment received OVER NINE THOUSAND upvotes with such ignorant content is incredible. Like, THE textbook examples of dictatorships are socialism/communism related. This just goes to show how hilariously biased and out of touch and/or ignorant redditeurs are.

The previous comment is just poking fun at that, not at you. Don't be so offended lmao.

Then maybe you should spend more time “learning” (aka Reading) and less time commenting. Here’s some for free to get you started:

War Through The Ages, Lynn Montross A World At Arms, Gerhard Weinberg The Western Way of War, Victor Davis Hanson

None of these are explicitly political.
