It was kind of a hail-Mary pass she probably hopes will get Trump's support in installing her in Venezuela's government apparatus, but it will fail. Trump has better control over the existing regime, minus Maduro. But she didn't give away the Peace Prize itself, because she can't. Per Nobel's rules it isn't transferrable. She can give away the medallion and the prize money but she's stuck with the prize itself.
