Venezuela's 'Iron Lady' Dedicates Nobel Prize to Trump

"Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize. My personal opinion is that if couldn't have been Donald Trump, this was the next best choice. Machado is the face of the movement that is looking communism in the eye in Latin
America and telling it to take a hike — something that will eventually benefit every one of us here in the U.S. if it's successful. She's worked tirelessly at taking down the country's illegitimate narco-terrorist regime for years.
María Corina Machado, the 2025 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, dedicated her recognition on Friday to her Venezuelan people and to President Donald Trump, stating that Venezuelans need his support “more than ever.”
They call her Venezuela's "Iron Lady." She's rallied millions to fight, and she's beloved by her fellow countrymen and people around the world. For those of you who don't know, Nicolás Maduro banned her from running for president, so she threw her support behind Edmundo González for the 2024 election. He was the voice. She was the architect. They had the support of their country.
González won in a landslide, but as you can see, Maduro is still el presidente and González lives in exile in Europe. Machado lives in Venezuela in hiding because of nonstop threats on her life."
