María Corina Machado has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for democracy in Venezuela. A fierce opponent of the Maduro regime, she’s hailed for advocating a peaceful transition from dictatorship.

Trump is probably furious and preparing a TruthSocial post 😆

Dolly should be wrapped in cotton wool. If she ran for president of any country of the world she would win in a landslide.
