FIFA President Recognizes Trump's Humanitarian Expertise
FIFA, still basking in the glow of its own impeccable ethical record, has awarded its inaugural 'peace prize' to former US President Donald Trump, according to The New Arab . Gianni Infantino, FIFA's President, personally bestowed the honor. One might wonder what specific diplomatic breakthroughs or humanitarian initiatives in 2020 warranted this particular recognition. Perhaps they're counting
the normalization agreements—deals brokered without consulting Palestinians, primarily designed to consolidate regional power structures and sell F-35s—as pinnacles of peace. This 'peace prize,' from an organization historically renowned for its commitment to transparent governance, seems less about actual peace and more about establishing new narratives. It conveniently overlooks Trump's 2017
Jerusalem declaration, the 'deal of the century,' or his administration's consistent defunding of Palestinian aid. Given FIFA's history of awarding World Cups to nations with questionable human rights records, perhaps this isn't an anomaly, but rather a chillingly consistent pattern of endorsing power, regardless of its methods.
