It's been a long time coming, but Trump has finally won a peace prize – albeit one that comes with an air of absurdity. FIFA, the governing body of international football, has awarded him its inaugural peace prize in a ceremony that seems more like a grand farce than a genuine gesture of goodwill. One can almost imagine the Nobel committee, infamous for doling out peace prizes to alleged war criminals, taking a snarky note on this development.
The irony is not lost on the writer, Arwa Mahdawi, who suggests that Trump's ego flattery might just start a trend among organizations and corporations seeking to curry favor with him. And so, she proposes five alternative awards for Trump, each designed to appeal to his peculiar tastes and insecurities.
First up is the Volkswagen Golf award, which would be an ironic gesture given Trump's stance on German car imports. The automotive industry could create a sports competition that leverages Trump's reputation as a golf enthusiast – who knows, it might just spark some much-needed tariff negotiations?
Next, we have the Big Cheese trophy for "making America grate again," a nod to France's famous dairy industry and their potential interest in buttering Trump up with an accolade. It's not hard to imagine the president being mollified by such a gesture.
The Humpty Dumpty prize for eggcellence in the American language is another contender, celebrating Trump's remarkable verbal dexterity – or, as some might say, linguistic acrobatics. This award would be a tongue-in-cheek tribute to his propensity for crafting words like "covfefe" and "truthful hyperbole."
The Energizer Bunny trophy for battery conservation is a more unexpected suggestion, given Trump's lack of environmental credentials. However, one can almost imagine the president channeling his inner Energizer Bunny, keeping going and going until his energy reserves are depleted.
Lastly, we have the American Gas Association award for lighting the way – a prize that might be seen as an homage to Trump's reputation as a gaslighter. It's difficult to see how this award would bring anyone closer to peace or understanding, but perhaps it would serve as a reminder of the president's ability to spin reality in his favor.
In conclusion, while FIFA's peace prize for Trump is hardly a serious gesture, Arwa Mahdawi's suggestions offer a glimpse into the president's psyche and the kinds of accolades he might appreciate. It's worth noting that none of these awards will change the world or usher in a new era of peace – but they do provide a deliciously satirical look at Trump's ego and insecurities.

The idea of an "Energizer Bunny trophy for battery conservation" is pretty funny too - can you imagine him with one of those on a shelf somewhere? 
But seriously, it's cute that Arwa Mahdawi came up with all these silly awards that poke fun at Trump's ego... I'm sure they're meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Who knows, maybe someone will actually propose them and we'll get some funny moments out of this! 
. I mean, isn't peace all about, like, stopping wars and stuff? Not exactly the vibe you get from the guy who's been known to tweet inflammatory crap at the drop of a hat 
.
. And the Big Cheese trophy? More like the Stinky Sock Award, am I right? 
.
it's like they're trolling trump by giving him some kinda peace prize after all his drama with other countries. i think arwa mahdawi is onto something tho, making fun of trump's ego and insecurities. the 5 awards she came up with are genius btw. the big cheese trophy for "making america grate again" is my fave 
.
? It's all just a bit of satire, but at least it shows Trump's ego is still intact 
it's just so cringeworthy at this point. but you know what's even funnier? that arwa mahdawi suggested all these awards to play along with trump's ego 
. i mean who does that? only someone who is just as frustrated and amused by the whole thing 
- who gives an egomaniac like him a symbol of world peace? 
. The suggestions by Arwa Mahdawi are just priceless though - Trump's got his own trophy for making America grate again 
and an award for verbal dexterity (covfefe, anyone? 
. Anyway, this whole thing is just a mess 
. And the Big Cheese trophy for "making America grate again" is so cheesy 
.
. i'm not sure if any of these would actually happen, but it's a good laugh. the thing that really gets me is how trump's ego flattery might just start a trend among orgs & corps trying to curry favor with him 
. anyway, at least we can have some fun with this absurdity 
like the big cheese trophy for "making america grate again" that's just a whole lot of sauce 
and i love the idea of the energizer bunny trophy for battery conservation, who knew trump had an inner energizer bunny hiding in there? 
.
.
. I mean, come on, an award called "making America grate again"? That's just rich 
This whole thing reeks of a publicity stunt gone wrong, and I'm low-key entertained by it 
. And the Big Cheese award? "Making America grate again"? 
. The Volkswagen Golf award is a solid hit - who knows, maybe it'll get some actual tariff negotiations going 
. And the Humpty Dumpty prize? That one's just gonna make him chuckle 
. Still, it's entertaining to imagine all these awards and how Trump would react to them
