Meanwhile, the medal lifting moment left the Internet chuckling. “They created it just for him,” an X user asked. “They’re out here giving a Peace Prize just to keep this man from throwing a tantrum. The whole show looks like they’re babysitting a demented ego. Soon it’s going to be impossible to hide. You can’t make this up,” another wrote.
“This is truly one of the great honors of my life. Beyond awards… we saved millions and millions of lives,” Trump said after receiving the award, and went on to thank his wife, Melania Trump. “I want to thank, by the way, my family, my great First Lady, Melania,” he continued.
Trump, who claims to have ended wars and restored peace in the world, after receiving the FIFA award, said in his speech, “This is truly one of the great honors of my life, and beyond awards, Gianni and I were discussing this. We saved millions and millions of lives. The Congo, as an example, over 10 million people killed, and it was heading for another 10 million very quickly, and it just… The fact that we could do that, India, Pakistan, so many different wars that we were able to end, in some cases, a little bit before they started, just right before they started. It was going to be late, but we got them done, and it’s such an honor to be with Gianni.”
Trump, who repeatedly demanded a Nobel Peace Prize throughout 2025, lost to María Corina Machado in October this year and was visibly upset.
