I was wrong.

A little earlier today I posted a video where Trump said Maria Corina Machado had called him and dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to him.

To me that sounded exactly like one of his many grandiose lies, which I also mentioned. But this one is most likely true, because Maria Corina has written a post confirming her dedication, although not the call itself.

I cannot promise to be right every time, but I promise to inform you if I am wrong.

Thank you to @svelmoe for making me aware.

@randahl @svelmoe I wonder what the Nobel committee thinks of this. Have they commented?

I thank you for the correction.

However, I think this is very much a case of my enemy’s enemy is my friend on her part.

And wait until she gets into office, and Trump imposes a 50% tariff on Venezuela anyway, out of spite.

@randahl @svelmoe no quicker way to make me think you don’t deserve a peace prize than to thank the person bombing your boats for it.

It's a cult, and she's ass-kissing him, hoping he will be her hammer for the presidency.

@randahl @svelmoe
When she won, Media outlets were quick to point out her praise of #TheOrangeMenace. But it's pretty clear her only knowledge of our #WannabeDictator is that they both hate Maduro.

The ONLY reason #NaziDon has shown ANY support for #Venezuela is b/c he despises #Maduro (deservedly so) who LITERALLY stole the election from the winner Edmundo Gonzalez last year.

Everything always circles back to T****'s mind boggling narcissism. 🤦‍♂️

@svelmoe @randahl When a movie star dedicates their Oscar to their mum or a primary school teacher it doesn’t mean that person, group or whatever now has an Oscar. It’s a purely symbolic gesture. In this case I can see a political advantage in flattering the thin skinned old man so that winning the award doesn’t disadvantage her cause through his vengeance. He’ll make stuff up regardless. This cost her nothing if it’s true. She still has possession of the prize.

@randahl @svelmoe Anyway. #MariaCorinaMachado seems a Big friend of Trump.
According to the NYT she supported Trump's actions in the Caribbean.

@randahl @svelmoe No, you did fine and you retracted. I have an edit button and I deleted. The world did not come to an end.
PS: I still think he gets fake phone calls from impersonators to soothe him when he’s cranky. So it played into my bias. But no harm done.

@Catawu I am sorry. I should have double checked this. I usually do, but this time I did not.
