It’s hard to know what shocked the world more: Trump receiving a “Peace Prize”… or the fact that FIFA is the organization giving it.
If there is any moment that accurately describes the insanity of this planet, it is the sight of Gianni Infantino — the head of an organization previously scrutinized for every accusation from bribery, corruption, to “accidentally” forgetting transparency — standing up, holding a golden trophy, and declaring: “This is your prize. This is your peace prize.”
And that was it.
No criteria. No committee. Nothing at all.
An award ceremony built on the kind of logic only FIFA dares to use:
Hand out peace the way you hand out candy. Whoever you like, you give it to.
TRUMP RECEIVES A “PEACE PRIZE” IN THE MIDST OF CONTROVERSY? THE PERFECT BACKGROUND MUSIC FOR A DARK COMEDY
Deep inside human-rights organizations, you could practically hear a collective sigh — the kind of sigh people make when watching someone tear up a dictionary to redefine the word “peace” in a way that could cause injury to the reader.
They looked at Trump’s policy record and could only conclude one thing: “If this is peace… then war probably deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature.”
INSIDE FIFA: NO ONE KNEW THIS AWARD EXISTED — PROBABLY BECAUSE IT… DOESN’T
FIFA officials — already used to being pelted with criticism — were still stunned.
Not because Trump was receiving the award.
But because they themselves did not know Gianni Infantino had conjured the prize out of thin air like an unemployed magician in Las Vegas.
An internal source described: “We woke up and saw Infantino holding a golden trophy calling it a Peace Prize. No prior email. No meeting. Nothing. Apparently he likes Trump so much he just created an award himself.”
That’s FIFA: an organization that can create a new prize faster than it can resolve an old scandal.
THE INFANTINO–TRUMP FRIENDSHIP: WHEN FLATTERY REACHES ART FORM LEVEL
Infantino has publicly expressed his wish for Trump to win a Nobel.
So now he just created a Nobel… using a FIFA gold trophy.
That is not merely devotion.
It is a level of adoration that even cults should take notes from.
Rolling Stone would call this: A bizarre blend of desperate PR, fringe politics, and a hint of “the world has nothing left to lose.”
CONCLUSION: THE WORLD IS ON FIRE AND FIFA IS POURING GASOLINE
When history looks back on this moment, people will not ask: “Why did Trump receive a Peace Prize?”
They will ask: “How much integrity did FIFA have left that day?”
The answer: It was probably melted down to cast that golden trophy.
In a normal world, this would be satire.
In today’s world, it’s news.
