Trump har redan slängt Machado åt sidan, trots att hon beskrevs som "oppositionens verkliga ledare" av både media och många västliga regeringar Enligt Washington Post, som har talat med källor i eller nära Vita huset, har förhållandet varit surt ända sedan i höstas - Trump blev nämligen putt över att hon inte helt enkelt överlämnade priset till honom, eller deklarerade att "jag kan inte själv ta emot detta pris, det tillkommer Donald Trump". Trump betraktar alltså fredspriset som en handelsvara som motttagaren kan skänka bort eller byta bort, ungefär som när en VM-medaljör säljer ett par gamla medaljer på auktion.
Här hyllar hon Trump och hon anser att Trump skall få nobels fredspris

Suspense has shrouded Venezuela's politics following US-led strikes in the country and President Nicolas Maduro's capture by American forces. Amid ambiguity over the election schedule in the country, a Washington Post report said on Sunday that US President Donald Trump was not too keen on endorsing opposition leader Maria Corina Machado because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, an honour the Republican had been eyeing for long.
The report cited two unnamed individuals close to the White House. While one of them called Machado's acceptance of the coveted prize the “ultimate sin”, another said the leader lost a shot at being Venezuela's president because she accepted it. “If she (Machado) had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one of the persons close to the White House was quoted as saying by WaPo.

Den här gubben fattar verkligen ingenting, men så är han också den förste "salesman president" USA har haft.
Men det har också funnits andra surdegar mellan Trump-administrationen och Machado, redan innan hon ffck Nobespriset. New York Times går närmare in på dem i en lång artikel. Ett kort utdrag:;

Behind the scenes, Mr. Trump came to his conclusion based on several crucial factors, including U.S. intelligence that suggested the opposition would have trouble leading the government, and a souring relationship between Ms. Machado and top Trump officials, according to five people with knowledge of his decision-making.
“I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader,” Mr. Trump said over the weekend, after the mission ended with Mr. Maduro in U.S. custody. “She doesn’t have the support within, or the respect within, the country. She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect.”
Instead, Mr. Trump settled on Mr. Maduro’s vice president to take the helm.
For Ms. Machado, Mr. Trump’s comments landed like a gut punch, and it represented a public break for the United States with a leader who had spent more than a year trying to ingratiate herself to Mr. Trump — so much so that when Ms. Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, which he covets, she dedicated it to him.

For Mr. Trump, the focus in Venezuela is oil, not promoting democracy.
And even though Ms. Machado has gone out of her way to please Mr. Trump, in reality her relationship with the White House had been fraying for months. Senior U.S. officials had grown frustrated with her assessments of Mr. Maduro’s strength, feeling that she provided inaccurate reports that he was weak and on the verge of collapse. They also grew skeptical of her ability to seize power in Venezuela.
Representatives for Ms. Machado did not respond to requests for comment.
In fact, she had been a source of friction inside the Trump administration since soon after the president returned to office last January.
