Wish we had a pic of him pouncing on that thing, like he did the fake FIFA "peace prize"
Trump will keep Machado's Nobel Peace Prize: 'She offered it to me'
Asked by a reporter on Jan. 16 as he was about to board Marine One on the White House South Lawn, why he would want someone else's Nobel Prize, Trump said: "Well, she offered it to me."
"I thought it was very nice. She said, 'you know, you've ended eight wars and nobody deserves this prize more than, in history, than you do," he said. "And I thought it was a very nice gesture. And by the way, I think she's a very fine woman. And we'll be talking again."
The Nobel laureate seems to a have taken note of Trump's penchant for gold when she presented her 18-carat gold medal in a large gold frame, with the following inscription: “In Gratitude for Your Extraordinary Leadership in Promoting Peace through Strength, Advancing Diplomacy, and Defending Liberty and Property.”
"Maria presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, soon after the Jan. 15 meeting. “Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you Maria!.”https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/trum...iirc, Trump latched on to a sports trophy last year, while the team that actually earned the trophy received a replica.
ah, the net is a wonderful thing.
Trump kept FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself - leaving champions Chelsea to lift a replica
FIFA President Gianni Infantino visited the White House, along with the trophy, in March.
“They said, ‘Could you hold this trophy for a little while?’ We put it in the Oval Office,” Trump said. “And then I said, ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy?’ He says, ‘We're never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We're making a new one.’”https://sports.yahoo.com/article/trump-kept-fifa-c...I realize that "personal style" may not be really relevant to job performance, but, dang.
