For the better part of a year, FIFA president Gianni Infantino has been playing Donald Trump like a fiddle. FIFA, probably more than any other sporting organization, is full of internal and external corruption. FIFA officials are always up for a bribe or willing to pay a bribe to get what they need. Infantino has seen men like Trump before, and I would assume that Infantino is surprised by how easily Trump can be bought off. FIFA needs Trump’s cooperation, you see. The World Cup will be partially hosted by America next June and July, and that means a lot of coordination between FIFA and the American federal government. Infantino has been wining and dining Trump and kissing (dinosaur) ass constantly. Then, on Friday, Infantino did something no other organization was willing to do: hand Trump a completely made-up “peace prize.” The “prize” was shiny and gold, naturally, and Trump was so f–king happy. We really do have a blathering moron as president.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino awarded his inaugural FIFA Peace Prize to “close friend” Donald Trump at Friday’s 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, D.C.
Around 30 minutes into a glitzy show here at the Kennedy Center, prior to the drawing of teams into World Cup groups, Infantino awarded Trump a new golden trophy, a golden medal and a certificate, and told the U.S. President: “This is your prize, this is your peace prize.”
Trump, in a relatively brief acceptance speech, then addressed the audience of around 2,000 people. “This is truly one of the great honors of my life. And beyond awards,” he said, before referencing conflicts he helped end, “we saved millions and millions of lives.”
The prize — announced by FIFA last month without prior approval from its board, the FIFA Council — was introduced “to reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world,” FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, said in a release.
The timing of the announcement, the opacity of the process and criteria, and Infantino’s strong relationship with Trump led many to assume that the award was created essentially as a consolation prize for Trump after the U.S. President was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, the world’s most prestigious award of its kind.
“We saved millions and millions of lives” – ??? No, he hasn’t. This is like when Trump claims that he’s ended eight wars or maybe twelve wars or maybe twenty wars. The numbers keep changing. It’s very Orwellian to send federal troops and a secret police force into American cities, separate and destroy families and murder innocent fishermen in international waters and then somehow claim that you’ve ended wars and saved millions of lives. Anyway, this FIFA Peace Prize is embarrassing for everyone involved.
From @TheAthletic: “This is truly one of the great honors of my life.”

For the 3,653rd time: Why isn’t this asshole dead yet???
God I feel this comment!!!!
He’s suffering such severe dementia that by tomorrow Trump will be bragging about how he won the Nobel prize and his people will just go along with it.
He’s being held together face spackle and spite.
Seriously though, he clearly has the best medical care and probably on experimental drugs to keep him going.
He’s immune to everything after 30 years of people spitting in his food.
Infantino needs to go.
I had to do a double to make sure that was his real name.
I don’t know if it’s sad or funny.
Infantino needs Trump to call off ICE so people will be willing to come to the US. He has tickets that need to be sold.
BINGO! This is the most logical reason for the “inaugural award”.
Hate the optics, but Infantino is trying to make sure that visitors of the 2026 World Cup don’t get harrassed or arrested by Trump’s goon squad.
When you give your toddler a toy to keep them from throwing a tantrum. Toddlers grow out of it, this idiot never will.
I love soccer but am not looking forward to the Men’s World Cup. I don’t think its safe for people to travel to the US and the,Fox broadcast is going to be wall to wall jingoism.
Reminds me of those little toy trophies you could get in the gumball machines when you were a child. That’s were we are at with this narcissistic slime ball.
I love that he had to take it out of the box and put in on himself. fitting. probably a giant chocolate coin wrapped in golden foil.
I bought cards that say “Make Christmas Great Again. Put Trump in Prison.” I know it changes nothing in the world but it will bring me some joy at the holidays to send those out.
Many people who are active in running national football (=soccer) organisations here in Europe had no idea about any of this, and are rightfully more than just a little bit miffed at Infantino, the demented orange blob, and everything else.
Meanwhile, a clip of the German President Frank Walter Steinmeier bestowing the Grand Cross special class of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany on Joe Biden last year in October is making its rounds on the Socials again, a *real* honour for an honestly all-around good person — and the official post shared by the President’s Office is such a nice read:
https://www.bundespraesident.de/SharedDocs/Reden/EN/Frank-Walter-Steinmeier/Reden/2024/241018-Order-of-merit-Biden.html
” … you, Mr. President, have been a beacon of democracy. You are a beacon – not just by what you have done but by who you are! By the example of your humility, your deep connection with the lives and hopes of hard-working people, and if you excuse that old-fashioned word: by your decency!”
We all could have had a bad bitch…
It’s beyond embarrassing to be so far up a perverts ass
Be interesting if this “prize” will be awarded again next year or of it was a one off.
If it’s awarded next year, it will go to the 🍊💩 stain again. Because he’s so magnificent and is bringing lasting peace to the world 🌍. 🤮
Canada and Mexico are also hosting, but our leaders have not been given any dumbfuck awards.
Lol NotMika! I love this post.
Because your leaders are unlikely to threaten visitors of the WC with ICE locking them up for no reason.
Does the Orange man know that the USA Men’s team aren’t very competitive and won’t win the World Cup? He won’t like that.
Usually, you have nightmares while you sleep. Here in the USA we are living an ongoing nightmare while wide awake.
Isn’t that the truth?
I know. Everyday I’m horrified.
Omg is that trophy reminds me of Hand from the Adams Family
Trump also was awarded the Pol Pot Trophy for Human Rights.
It’s a major award!
Where are the Bumpass hounds when you need them???
Embarrassing. Just Embarrassing.
This is egregious but it doesn’t crack the top twenty of morally repugnant things FIFA has done. Truly one of the most garbage organizations in the world and I say this as a football fan.
However, giving toddler Trump this prize while his government deports innocent people to foreign jails and bombs fishing boats in the Caribbean really is something.
Gosh I hope he didn’t get any of that orange face paint on his shiny new totally legit peace prize.
Maybe Trump can get the Scientology Freedom Medal of Valour award next. They’ll even give him a fake military uniform so Trump can look as phony as the British royals
Trump also slapped his name on the US Institute of Peace building even though he’s had DOGE dismantle the whole organization.
I hope the Nobel committee stands firm and never puts him in consideration for the Nobel Peace Prize.
‘Inaugural’ peace prize? Who gets it next year, Putin?
Dear lort. He looks like an utter fool. What the f#ck is wrong with the third of the country that blindly supports this evil ignorant orange 💩 stain on humanity? (I KNOW. RACISM. SEXISM. HOMOPHOBIA. STUPIDITY). His ego is so bloated that he doesn’t even have the sense to know when he is being mocked and looks like a cartoon character. We are on the cusp of economic catastrophe due to this tangerine monster and he is boasting about receiving a made-up participation trophy from one of the most corrupt bodies in any sport. F#ck me.
This must be mortifying for the decent, democratic and rational part of the US.
After the Nobel Peace Prize winner this year thanked Trump for his help and support (in order to placate him surely), he asked why she just didn’t give him the award? No other president I can imagine, no matter how corrupt, would have asked a Nobel Prize winner to turn over the award to the President of the United States. He is a demented and dangerous man. This FIFA award seems to appease him, so now I bet all sorts of people/organizations will give him bogus awards and he will accept them willingly and greedily (especially if money is involved). This goes beyond national shame. We are in unknown territory now and I fear what will happen next.
