The Art of the Steal

The entire planet knows that Donald Trump lusts after the Nobel Peace Prize. This week he got it—sort of.

The 2025 winner, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, presented Trump her golden medal in a golden frame at the golden White House as a "personal symbol of gratitude on behalf of the Venezuelan people."

I assume Trump's booby prize, the hastily created peace prize FIFA awarded him last month, will now be moved to a West Wing bathroom.

The Nobel Prize committee said that Machado's decision to fork over the medal doesn't change who won. The prize can't be "revoked, shared, or transferred to others."

But Trump's grin on receiving the bribe—I mean gift—showed how happy he was to be the new owner of a lightly used, second-hand medal.

Machado didn't leave the White House empty-handed. She carried away a red gift bag bearing Trump's signature in gold on the outside. As to what, if anything, was inside the swag bag, my bet is a Steven Miller Pez dispenser.

A friend in Vermont sent me this photo taken at an anti-ICE protest in Brattleboro this past weekend. I needed the levity.

American forces invade Venezuela to capture its president? An ICE agent fatally shoots a woman in Minneapolis?

That's what the Trump administration brought us in just the first week of 2026.

I want to turn this year in already, but I can't find the receipt.
