OMFG - Trump just won the very first FIFA Peace Prize

[OnlinePoker]

I just saw it on the World Cup Draw broadcast, so no video yet. Gotta keep stroking that ego.

[Ocelot II]

1. FIFA has a peace prize?

So when do MLB and the NFL and the NHL start handing out peace prizes? When they get the word that Trump wants one?

What the actual platinum-plated fuck is this lunacy?

[BannonsLiver]

4. I'm guessing they created this award just for him so he doesn't disrupt the World Cup next year.

What they’re going to find out - the hard way - is that once the initial dopamine rush goes away he will go back to holding them hostage with threats etc.

[Ocelot II]

5. I'm quite sure that's what it is.

I'm also quite sure there weren't any other candidates for the "prize."

[Eugene]

10. It's a peace-offering from one criminal organization to another. Corrupt through and through.

FIFA need need the Slobfather to back off from disrupting the World Cup (more than he already has). So FIFA concocts a sports "Nobel" peace prize to stroke his ego.

MF47 is the inaugural recipient, but wait there's more! Pedonald and his goons get to form a committee to select future recipients.

The Guardian covers FIFA's corrupt process in gory detail.

We have a winner 😀

[RockRaven]

3. Yeah, that was plainly telegraphed when FIFA announced they were making such a prize.

Another reason, not that we need more, why FIFA is the most disgusting corrupted scum of the earth.

[Prairie Gates]

6. And they have him doing the draw itself...ruining everything as usual

I hate him.

[malaise]

7. WTF is it anyway

Needy on steroids.
The football World Cup is now about him.

[rubbersole]

18. They're trying to protect themselves from a massive monetary shakedown.

A preemptive taint hickey designed to make tsf think they like him. Actually, so far it appears to be working. Like Finland giving him an engraved gold bar like the ones stacked up in Ft Knox. Quit pretending class and dignity carry any weight. Save time and energy - just put the shiny object in his lap and go on about your business unimpeded. Like Tim Apple....

[EdmondDantes_]

31. FIFA officials would know all about monetary shakedowns

Sure they are usually on the other end of it, but but they know it better than most.

[CanonRay]

8. FIFA is perhaps the most corrupt sporting organization ever.

So it's a perfect fit.

[OnlinePoker]

12. International Olympic Committee isn't far behind. n/t

[malaise]

21. Well let's be pellucidly clear

Back in the day, most of the international sports bodies were run by royals, aristocrats, barons, nobles, fascists, racists and woman haters.

[peggysue2]

9. This is a made-up prize to deter Don-The-Con from . . .

Messing with the World Cup schedule and venues.

Another day, another scam to kiss Donnie's fat ass.

[sinkingfeeling]

11. He got the made-up consolation prize.

[RiverStone]

14. Right, to the fascist who tried violently overtake our government

On 1/6!

What type of BS award is this?

[Raven123]

15. FIFA Peace Prize is an oxymoron

[malaise]

23. For a

Moron😀

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. Who's surprised by this?

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. I'm shocked - shocked, I tell you

Who could possibly have predicted that?????????

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. The Guardian's captions are priceless

"Ina shocking turn of events, Gianni Infantino gives Donald Trump a shiny gold bauble"
"Donald Trump with the First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence"
"The American president accepts his medal and puts it around his own neck, before Gianni Infantino blows smoke up his nether regions by reading from his official Fifa Award certificate and telling him how great he is. “We want to see hope, we want to see unity, we want to see a future,” says Gianni. “This is what we want to see from a leader and you definitely deserve the first Fifa Peace Prize. You can always count on my support to help you make peace around the world. Thank you Mr President.”

Pass the bucket."

"Donald Trump reveals that this is one of the biggest honours of his life and then proceeds to reiterate how great he is, for the benefit of anyone who might have been in the rest room while Gianni was talking.

He tells the audience about the “millions and millions of lives” he and Infantino have saved, before mentioning the huge number of tickets Fifa have sold for the World Cup, while steering a wide berth of mentioning Fifa’s dynamic pricing strategy. He also nods to his Mexican and Canadian counterparts. It’s a mercifully short speech."

[malaise]

25. ROFL

[Totally Tunsie]

20. I don't believe anyone expected otherwise.

FIFA needs Dozing Donnie's cooperation to not disrupt the games.
The FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, is "good friends" with DD.
The venue for the draw - the (still) Kennedy Center, managed by DD, was "donated" for FIFA's use.
Ivanka tRump was recently appointed to the advisory board of a new $100 million FIFA charity fund for education.
DD was selected to do the actual FIFA draw.

The "fix", as they say, was in.

[Emile]

24. That should make MAGATs thrilled knowing Trump is soccer fan.

[leftstreet]

29. I thought they hated Participation Trophies

[Blues Heron]

26. He blew up a boat to celebrate, followed by some fine imported cocaine from his favored cartel

[Drum]

27. Participation trophy.

Sad!

[Baitball Blogger]

28. FIFA Peace prize is such a disingenuous move.

That's like getting a decoder ring out of a Captain Crunch cereal box and thinking you're in the same league as Alan Turing.

[Mysterian]

32. At last, peace between soccer teams

Who thought it could be done?

[EdmondDantes_]

33. The only thing more embarrassing than creating this for Trump

Is that Trump is such a insecure toddler that he needs this as validation. I'd be embarrassed to get something like this, but Trump isn't cursed with a sense of self-respect.

Maybe we can get him a crown from a kid's meal at Burger King so he can be a "monarch" to go with his "peace prize".

[Permanut]

34. Or to put it another way..

Donald Trump has won EVERY FIFA Peace Prize ever awarded.

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.
