The Almost-Nobel Peace Prize


A close up of the FIFA Peace Prize medal that was awarded to Trump, has some right-wing Conservatives questioning the message that giving out such awards conveys.
“Trophies used to be awarded only to winners. If mediocracy becomes celebrated, the recipients of such awards will become fooled into believing that they have accomplished wonderful things, that they deserve admiration. Such awards only serve to diminish those of us who truly sweated and sacrificed, who EARNED our Nobel Peace Prizes," according to former Congressman George Santos.
