This was beautiful.
In a stunning message of gratitude, Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado publicly praised President Donald Trump on Friday, dedicating her victory to both the suffering people of Venezuela and the man she called a true ally of freedom.
“This honor represents a powerful acknowledgment of the courage and perseverance of the Venezuelan people,” Machado wrote on X (formerly Twitter) after receiving the distinguished award. “We stand on the brink of victory, and now more than ever, we rely on President Trump, the American people, and freedom-loving nations around the world to help us reclaim liberty and democracy.”
Her emotional post continued, “I dedicate this prize to the people of Venezuela — and to President Donald Trump, for his decisive support of our cause!”
Machado’s words carry powerful symbolism. Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States stood firm against Venezuela’s socialist dictatorship, applying sanctions and rallying global pressure to weaken the corrupt Maduro regime. Many Venezuelans credit Trump for standing with them when few others dared.
Political analysts say Machado’s public recognition of Trump’s role highlights his continued influence on global freedom movements — even after leaving the White House. Her statement reflects what many across Latin America have long believed: Trump’s America First policies also meant Freedom First for oppressed nations.
For millions watching Venezuela’s fight for democracy, Machado’s Nobel win feels like a moment of hope — and a powerful reminder that President Trump’s vision of strength, faith, and freedom still resonates worldwide.
