Trump Mocked for Accepting ‘Fake’ Peace Prize From FIFA: ‘Humiliating for All Involved’
FIFA created the new Peace Prize this year to honor Trump, who claims to have ended eight wars, despite ongoing controversy over deadly Pentagon strikes on civilian boats.
- On Friday at the Kennedy Center during the 2026 World Cup draw, FIFA awarded Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, which he eagerly accepted and put on himself.
- The new FIFA Peace Prize, introduced last month and established this year, honors leaders for peace and unity, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who appeared a few weeks ago at a Gaza peace ceremony, personally praised Trump.
- As the Village People performed at the ceremony, the U.S. military struck another boat, killing four, while members of Congress learned the Sept. 2 briefing revealed two survivors were executed.
- With political fallout building, critics accused FIFA of appeasing the president and called the ceremony embarrassing, while independents abandon Trump and many GOP members of Congress planning to retire next year.
- Observers noted stark optics as FIFA's flattery coincided with the Pentagon scandal alleging abuses against small-boat victims, while Trump claimed to have settled eight wars.
