President Donald Trump’s dream of being handed the Nobel Peace Prize has been killed within hours of him saying what an “honor” it would be.
Trump, 79, is due to host Nobel laureate María Corina Machado in the Oval Office next week, amid a public and behind-the-scenes lobbying campaign to have Machado hand her prize to Trump, both to appease the president and to encourage him to endorse her as a replacement for deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
Speaking about that possibility in an interview with Sean Hannity on Thursday, Trump lit up, saying: “I’ve heard that she wants to do that. That would be a great honor.”
