What a spineless sellout.

Useless too, as the elections in Venezuela are a long way ahead, 90% after he's gone , if they'd be held at all.

Trump and people like him (bullies) can only thrive in a world of spineless individuals.

Trump is an evil authoritarian but I think this is (sadly) a smart play by Machado. If her flattery gets him to change his mind and put her government in charge then it's a major (and easy) win.

It's a disaster for the Nobel Peace prize. It wouldn't shock me if they try to rescind it; I'm sure they don't like seeing it be used as a bargaining chip. Everything Trump touches really does die.
