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...

6. I guess he's so far gone that he doesn't

realize what a huge ass he is making of himself. I mean, he has been doing it for decades, but this Nobel Prize bullshit is really insane. And it's obvious that he only wants it because Obama got one. People all over the world are laughing at him and I'm not even sure he has a clue.

8. He's just buying it like

It's just a piece of jewelry. All he wants is the medal. He's so superficial he thinks that's all he needs. He'll put it with all his other "trophies" and think they are real. You know all those gulf trophies he gives himself at his club every year. He doesn't really win them but he still shows then off and brags about them like they are real. He's just a pretender.

and the fake historical plaques he puts up on his properties,

13. MaddowBlog-After Trump rant, Nobel Prize committee issues reminder: Honors are nontransferable

One observer summarized the circumstances this way: “It’s hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become.”

But those weren’t his only provocative thoughts on the subject. A day earlier, the Republican sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, and the discussion turned to Machado. Trump said that he’d heard Machado — who’s eager to lead her home country and who’s taken steps to curry favor with the Republican administration — wants to give him the prize, and that it would be “a great honor.”

It was at that point that the officials responsible for the award apparently felt the need to issue a clarification of sorts. The Associated Press reported:

The organization that oversees the Nobel Peace Prize is throwing cold water on talk of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado giving her recent award to President Donald Trump.

Once the Nobel Peace Prize is announced, it can’t be revoked, transferred or shared with others, the Norwegian Nobel Institute said in a short statement on Friday.

“The decision is final and stands for all time,” the institute explained in a written statement.

It was, as best as I can tell, the first time in the 125-year history of the award that the Nobel Prize committee found it necessary to issue such a clarification. It also led The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum to note, summarizing the circumstances, “It’s hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become.”
