The embarrassing truth behind President Donald Trump’s made-up peace prize has been exposed.
The president, who turns 80 this week, had long pined for the Nobel Peace Prize, but he was snubbed last year in favor of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.
Gianni Infantino, the president of soccer’s global governing body, FIFA, sensed an opportunity and cooked up the ‘FIFA Peace Prize’ to soothe Trump. He did so because a closer relationship with the U.S. president would mean a smoother World Cup, which, in turn, would help repair his organization’s image after years of fraud and neglect.
