FIFA's Peace Prize: A Ridiculous Gesture Amidst Global Chaos
The recent awarding of the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize to Donald Trump has raised eyebrows and sparked debate. While it's clear that the Norwegian Nobel Committee's refusal to bestow the Nobel Peace Prize upon Trump was a calculated move, Fifa's decision is equally perplexing.
What's even more astonishing is that Fifa's strategy seems to be an attempt to curry favor with Trump by lavishing praise upon him. This approach may prove fruitful for organizations and corporations seeking to appease his ego but raises questions about the validity of the award itself.
Here are five alternative awards that might better suit Trump's interests:
Firstly, Volkswagen could establish a Trump Cup for golfing, capitalizing on Trump's boasts about his handicap and fostering tariff negotiations. This unusual partnership could be a win-win for both parties, with the auto industry gaining an opportunity to promote its products while Trump scores points for his ego.
Next, France's dairy industry should consider presenting Trump with the Big Cheese trophy for "making America grate again." This absurd honor would no doubt tickle Trump's fancy and provide a welcome distraction from the numerous controversies surrounding his presidency.
The Humpty Dumpty prize for "eggcellence in the American language" could also be an interesting addition to Trump's collection. As someone who frequently uses hyperbole and coinage, such as "covfefe," Trump's vocabulary would undoubtedly warrant recognition.
Furthermore, given Trump's age (79) and energy levels, the Energizer Bunny trophy for battery conservation might seem like a fitting award. The idea that human bodies are like batteries with finite amounts of energy could be seen as a justification for Trump's tireless activities on social media platforms.
Lastly, the American Gas Association award for "lighting the way" would provide an ironic twist to Trump's presidency. Love him or hate him, Trump has undoubtedly had a profound impact on world politics and international relations – whether for better or worse.
While these suggestions might not be entirely serious, they highlight the absurdity of Fifa's decision to award Trump the Peace Prize. As Arwa Mahdawi so astutely observes, it seems that organizations are resorting to flattery to win favor with Trump, rather than recognizing his genuine achievements (or lack thereof).

idk what's more confusing fifa's decision or why they need to do this lol anyway dont we have like world leaders doing all the good stuff already?? like, how does an award from sports organization even compare to actual achievements in world politics? 
, a peace prize for Trump? It's like they're saying "hey, we know you've done nothing great for world peace, but hey, we'll give you this award anyway!" The fact that FIFA is trying to curry favor with him just makes it even more ridiculous 
. And don't even get me started on the alternative prizes – a golf trophy from Volkswagen? A Big Cheese trophy from France's dairy industry? It's all just a joke 
. I mean, if you're going to give someone an award for "eggcellence in the American language", can't they at least make it a prize that requires some actual linguistic skill? 
It's like they're trying to butter him up so he doesn't tweet about how unfair the whole thing is 
The idea of an "Energizer Bunny trophy" for battery conservation just cracks me up 
. Can we just stick to awarding actual peace prizes, not trump-sized ego-stroking gestures? 
anyways, these other awards they came up with are pretty funny tho 
. or the big cheese trophy for making america grate again
