ANOTHER TRUMP TRIUMPH!

 

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, but I kind of like this picture of President Trump. At least he’s smiling. Since his second term as CEO of the United States, he seems to be frowning or scowling all the time or having one set of storm clouds or other across his brow, his eyes sparking lightning bolts hither and yon. And smile he should. He’s won the Peace Prize! A prize commensurate with his achievements for promoting world peace. By his own count he’s prevented or ended [Fill in number] wars throughout the globe. Quite an accomplishment for someone who is almost an octogenarian! In the pic, he’s looking with love and joy upon the face of his trophy, holding it like he would a newborn grandchild, so precious so…?! Hmmm. Hang on….* Yeah, come to think of it, that looks more like a soccer ball. Huh?

OH, I GET IT! FIFA’s (“Fédération Internationale de Football Association”) in town. Well, Washington D.C., where, at the Kennedy Center, President Trump was awarded the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize by the sports federation CEO and Jeff Bezos look-a-like, Giovanni Infantino. Gio wants to keep Trump happy so he won’t pull the rug out from underneath the 2026 FIFA football (i.e. soccer) matches that the U.S. is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico. And what better way to keep the man at the helm of the SS Titanic American ship of state happy than by gifting him something shiny and gold coloured. 

👉Yeah, sure, it’s a fake award, gold plated and all and something Gio cobbled together to butter up Trump big time. But, judging by Trump’s expression as he beholds his trophy, it’ll be smooth sailing for the American leg of the 2026 FIFA games. [He also got a Nobel Prize knock-off medallion.] I wonder what other pieces of swag Gio will gift his new BFF in the coming months? Perhaps seat warmers decorated with a portrait of the American president embroidered in gold thread for Trump to sit on if he attends any of the matches held at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles? 😏

 

Cheers, Jake.  _____________________________________

 

* Okay. For me, in the first photo, the top half of the golden statuette looks more like a human skull. It looks like a child’s skull. And I had a moment or two under darkening skies when I imagined Trump had given birth to the anti-Christ, and the demon spawn was about to open its golden, leathery wings and fly to the heavens, ushering in Armageddon. But that’s just me.
