She isn't American so I think she should be judged based on her actual actions regarding her own country.

Trump sucks but the amount of suffering people are going through is less than in Venezuela. This isn't because of Trump but becsuse the US is stronger.

But it's more about the situation in Venezuela where the people that are from there would rather be in the US including under Trump than there.

I don't know much about her so so I would need to know more. But this prize has previously gone to people that turned out to be shit so recieving the prize itself also doesn't gaurantee they will be good .
