Trump’s Peace Prize Participation Medal Spawned Memes Than The Actual News Itself

I caught up on this listening to the BBC Americast podcast and I have to say that everyone should boycott every FIFA game in the USA and go to the ones in Canada and Mexico instead.
We now expect it from the fascist that was voted in, but shameless grift on behalf of the FIFA President.

>Infantino said the award, established this year, “is presented annually on behalf of the billions of football loving people from around the world…
I have never been happier to not love football/soccer.

I hear that Trump has a good chance at winning it again next year.
FIFA should also be mocked for offering such an award to Trump.

FIFA has literally been without shame for several decades.

I had to switch away, because I felt second hand embarrassment of the highest magnitude.
And I never felt that before in regards to anything Trump ever did.
Redrawing hurricane Maps with Sharpies, throwing paper towels towards hurricane victims, not knowing his favorite bible quote, hugging the flag like it is only 14 years old, air-handjobs, stumbling while exiting AF1 or proclaiming that people should get sunlight injected to battle covid? Those were eye rolling situations.
This right here was something every Trump voter should feel embarrassed about.

It was when they gave him a certificate that I really lost it.

Why is FIFA giving out Peace Prizes anyway, it’s a sports organisation (and a corrupt one at that)

Betting that Infantino thought this BS prize would forestall ICE targeting World Cup fans… which is pretty damn naive for anyone watching this administration.

This was more demeaning than having 34 felony counts on your record somehow…

No, we should keep doing this every day. Give him a shiny new toy and let him on stage to ramble. He said nice things about Canada and Mexico and then he went to bed. I’m fine with him doing that all the time instead of trying to govern.

I honestly don’t know which is worse here. FIFA for coming up with this nonsense or Trump, who is so infantile that he accepts it.

How long before he claims this one is more prestigious than the Nobel Peace Prize?

I see all corporations awarding Trump their own version of a peace prize to gain favor from the imbecile.

It’s internationally known that he’s still mentally a toddler, a pathological liar, a rapist, a pedophile, a grifter, a massive loser who couldn’t even make a casino profitable, he wanted to have sex with his own daughter etc.
Once he dies the location of his grave will have to be kept secret because otherwise the sheer amount of piss that will soak into the earth around his coffin will cause the whole area to become a biological hazard. (Which his decaying body will likely do on its own as well.)

Needed a way to deflect after committing an obvious war crime.

As he should be. Absolutely pathetic.

As laughable as this whole thing is, it’s a problem that big players like the European football league is supporting Trump even if just symbolically.
