It's not much but it will be a blow to Trump's ego as he has repeatedly claimed that he deserves the award. That especially as how he has been working on trying to mend geopolitical relations across the globe over the past few months. I wouldn't doubt that he is an unlikely candidate to win, given he seems more of a controversial pick. In deciding the winner, the Nobel committee mentioned that their decision was "filled with both courage and integrity" and that they base it off "work and the will of Alfred Nobel".Machado is at least someone who has played nice with Trump at least, having praised him for his "commitment to freedom and democracy in Venezuela". But rest assured, Trump will definitely look to make a meal about the decision later in the day. This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.
