Nicolle Wallace mocks 'childlike' Trump over 'fetish for trophies'

MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace couldn't help but chuckle at President Donald Trump's desperate attempt to win awards and trophies.

This week, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump during an official visit to the White House, after Trump repeatedly and publicly lobbied for her to hand it over to him (the Nobel committee has said the prize cannot be transferred).

Speaking Friday, Wallace showed a clip of ABC host Jimmy Kimmel rolling out a table with all of the awards he's won. Kimmel proceeded to offer those to Trump if he would leave the people of Minneapolis, Minnesota alone.

"Rarely does a president yank a Nobel Prize off of someone’s neck," said the late-night host. "He’s back in the Oval Office sucking on it like a pacifier right now. Look at how happy he is. Have you ever seen anyone happier than that for winning this prize? He didn’t even win."

"Mr. President, I have an offer I think you’re going to find difficult to refuse," Kimmel quipped. "If you agreed to pull ICE out of Minneapolis and put them back at the borders where they belong, I am prepared to offer you one of the following trophies that I have been honored with over the years."

The list included Kimmel's Daytime Emmy Award for Best Game Show Host in 1999, a Clio Award, a Webby Award, a Writers Guild Award and a 2015 Soul Train Award for "White Person of the Year."

Wallace recalled Trump putting himself on a TIME Magazine cover that never existed (he's since been on the TIME cover multiple times).

"It is a sort of back to where we started," Wallace began. "There's something childlike about his fetish for prizes and trophies and awards. He put his face on fake TIME magazine covers and put them in his office. I mean, this is a this is a through line."

Columnist and commentator Molly Jong Fast agreed: "I mean, it was such a disappointing moment when she went in there with that Nobel Peace Prize and came out with a shopping bag branded with the Trump name on it. And it does — it says more almost about us as where we are in a country than anything else. And look, this is a desperate person trying to, to, to get to come back into leadership in her country. And I don't think that Trump is going to do that for her."
