The fake-ass FIFA "peace prize" to Trump...this is a guy who has fake TIme covers of himself at his golf course

[Miles Archer]

This is the guy who LIED ABOUT LOWERING THE COST OF WALMART'S THANKSGIVING MEAL KIT (they did it without his intervention, by offering fewer items and more WalMart brands than "big name" brands).

This is the guy who had fake-assed "Time Magazine covers" of himself hanging at his golf course.

HE DOES NOT CARE if the "award" is "IMAGINARY" and will NEVER frame it as such.

excerpt]Mockery erupted after President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA peace prize Friday.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino gave Trump the shiny gold medal on stage at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Draw at the Kennedy Center — which Trump plans to rename after himself — in Washington, D.C.

The award was created a few weeks ago after Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, which he has said he deserves.

2. I think they...

Are hoping to get him to tone down the ICE activities while the games are going on. If they keep going like the gestapo in proximity to venues, things could get ugly.

FIFA rewards Trump with a new, hastily arranged, entirely unwarranted ‘peace’ prize

The fact that Trump put the ridiculous “FIFA Peace Prize” medal around his own neck added an unintentionally amusing — and oddly apt — twist on the award ceremony. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Donald Trump went to embarrassing lengths in his campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize — to no avail. Soon after, Gianni Infantino, who leads FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, got to work trying to make his friend in the White House feel better.

In fact, Infantino directed the international organization to create its own honor, called the “FIFA Peace Prize — Football Unites the World.” The New York Times reported that the effort “was so hastily arranged that it surprised several of the body’s most senior officials, including board members and vice presidents, according to four soccer executives briefed on the events.”

Take a wild guess who won the award.

.......The obvious problem with these developments is that Trump doesn’t deserve a peace prize. The president is, after all, embroiled in an ongoing controversy surrounding his administration’s alleged war crimes, which dovetails with a series of related incidents that include Republicans’ threats targeting Latin American countries and Nigeria, preemptive military strikes on targets in Iran and a bombing campaign in Yemen.......

But there are other problems just below the surface of this new peace prize. What we have here is an example of a foreign businessman trying to curry favor with the White House, concocting a dubious prize that he knows Trump will appreciate.

Infantino isn’t alone. Axios recently reported that officials in Switzerland persuaded Trump to lower tariff rates by deploying a delegation of industry tycoons to the White House bearing gifts, including “a special Rolex desktop clock, a 1-kilogram personalized gold bar, and loads of flattery.”

The report added, “Trump loves such pampering, and the word’s out among nations and companies seeking his favor. Tributes fit for a king — especially gold — catch his eyes and his heart.” (The Swiss gold bar, which sounds a bit similar to the gift that helped land former Sen. Bob Menendez in prison, was stamped with “45” and “47” in homage to Trump’s presidential terms.)

And now FIFA has rewarded the American president with a gold honor of its own.
