As FIFA Prez Gianni Infantino gave Trump a large gold-coloured trophy & a gold-coloured medal hanging from a blue ribbon, Trump responded, "This is truly one of the great honours of my life".
Trump gets (soccer's) Peace Prize...That plus a dollar buys coffee
FIFA manufactures new versions of consent because Trump loves him some ceremonies, even if he doesn’t get this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. Having learned something during the Club Cup, FIFA noticed his gold fetish when he stole a trophy.
But for the first time, we have a president who was awarded a trophy for a soccer tournament in which he was merely a spectator.
Of course, if you watched the Club World Cup, which was hosted this past month in the United States, you would have seen President Trump’s celebration with the victorious Chelsea squad go viral. The president was supposed to hand off the trophy to the English squad after their upset blowout win over French favorites Paris St. Germain and then move off to the side.
But Trump decided to hang out with the victors. Can you blame him? Why wouldn’t you want to be in the center of it all? After several moments, some players, including Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, were a little befuddled as to why he was still hanging out.
The celebration continued as planned, with Chelsea hoisting their trophy and Trump smiling away in the center of it all.
Well, they hoisted “a” trophy.
------—
The trophy itself didn’t end up in the hands of the victors. Instead, they received a replica, and it’s that replica that they took back to England. The Trump Administration claims the Club World Cup trophy was a gift from FIFA, one that Trump could keep “forever.”

FIFA launched its new Peace Prize last month to recognize actions for peace and unity, selecting Trump for his role in the Abraham Accords and recent ceasefires. The Friday ceremony in Washington blended star performances by Andrea Bocelli, hosting by Kevin Hart and Heidi Klum, and the draw for 48 teams into 12 groups across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico-hosted tournament. Supporters praised the recognition of his diplomacy, while critics viewed the award as a recent creation amid applause and applause. (x.com)
