Yes, quite subtle trolling.
There are 2 points:
1. In January 2025, Trump himself highly praised this woman on his social network :-)
2. The Venezuelan Woman Award now = I just have tears in my eyes from laughing :-)

Despite some people trying to frame it as some "resistance" to Trump, the Nobel committee completely capitulated to him.
