If it ends up anywhere else, it was an accepted bribe.
Trump has bemoaned not receiving the Nobel prize for some time. He even tried to bully them into giving it to him this year. He failed, as often is the case.
Someone who wants to be installed as Venezuela's president gave him theirs as "thanks" for dethroning Maduro. That means the US owns it. Trump doesn't. And it's an obvious bribe, besides.
That $25,000 worth of Gold belongs to the USA, so Trump still has not "won" it, nor even achieved any appearance that he did. It is literally a "pity prize" ... like the kind schools give to the worst-achieving children, as a "participation award."
Once in the Presidential Library, it will forever be a symbol of Trump The Wannabe, Trump The Bribed, Trump The Loser. He accepted the pity prize, and everyone knows it.
That's why although he thanked her publicly, he did not post a pic of himself posing with it. That would increase the wannabe factor tenfold. He's better off kissing flags. It is literally the same as his earlier habit of hanging fake Time cover pages at Mar a Lago.
He's a loser, and this pity prize is gonna haunt him until he (finally) dies.
