Trump does not fit the criteria set out by Alfred Nobel. By increasing the NATO spending he worked against "the abolition or reduction of standing armies" and he has made the "fraternity between nations" a lot worse with random threats which I doubt would weight up his "promotion of peace congresses".

I really hope they would not award someone the prize who works so blatantly against the word and spirit of the criteria in the will.

Those criteria sound like they should disqualify the person who actually got it.
Perhaps, but I was talking about Trump now. He would be a pretty big violation of the spirit of the will even if he would not be the first such.

I will personally try to refrain from commenting on the Venezuelan opposition since I do not know enough about them.

I hadn't heard of her either before today, I'm basing that on what people have said here - all good for sure, but unrelated to those criteria.
