One informant noted that although Machado dedicated her award to Trump, her decision to accept the prize became her "greatest sin." "If she had said, 'I cannot accept this prize because it belongs to Donald Trump,' she would be the president of Venezuela right now," the source added.
At a press conference following the attack on Venezuela and the capture of Nicolas Maduro, Trump stated that it would be difficult for Machado to take on the role of the country's leader. He described her as a "nice woman," but added that she has "no support and respect" among Venezuelans. Trump's comments shocked Machado's supporters.
