Trump's Peace Prize: A Joke That Falls Flat?
In a bizarre move, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) has awarded Donald Trump its inaugural peace prize. While this may be seen as an opportunity for the former US president to bask in the glory of international recognition, it's difficult to take seriously given his track record on conflict and human rights.
The award is, of course, a PR stunt designed to flatter Trump's ego. FIFA's strategy is likely to start a trend of organizations and corporations giving out extravagant awards to the former president in an effort to curry favor with him. It's hard not to see this as a cynical attempt to distract from his numerous missteps on the world stage.
So, why not try to get creative? Here are five alternative awards that might be more deserving of Trump's attention:
The Volkswagen Golf Award: Given Trump's strained relationship with Germany and its automotive industry, it's fitting that the former president receives an award that acknowledges his disdain for German cars. A golf tournament sponsored by Volkswagen could be a good starting point.
The Big Cheese Trophy for Making America Grate Again: Trump's comments about France have been well-documented, and it's time to butter him up with a dairy-themed accolade. The Trump administration's attempts to make the US "grate" again are laughable, but at least he'll feel special.
The Humpty Dumpty Prize for Eggcellence in the American Language: Trump is known for his verbal gymnastics, and this award would be an apt recognition of his linguistic skills. After all, who else could coin phrases like "truthful hyperbole" and brew up words like "covfefe"?
The Energizer Bunny Trophy for Battery Conservation: As the oldest US president ever inaugurated, Trump is certainly bursting with energy – particularly when it comes to sharing his thoughts on social media. An award acknowledging his boundless enthusiasm would be a fitting tribute.
The American Gas Association Award for Lighting the Way: Ultimately, no earthly award does justice to Trump's... let's say, unique perspective on the world. He truly believes he is marching humanity into a new golden age – and this award would be a suitable accompaniment to that grandiose vision.
In conclusion, while FIFA's peace prize may be seen as an opportunity for Trump to bask in international recognition, it's hard not to view it as a cynical PR stunt. Perhaps these alternative awards will provide some much-needed levity in the ongoing saga of Donald Trump's public persona.
