## Senator Mark Kelly Slams FIFA’s New Prize for Trump as ‘National Embarrassment’
**Washington —** In a scathing reaction to the unveiling of a brand-new peace award by FIFA, U.S. Senator Mark Kelly unleashed a fiery condemnation, labeling the honour bestowed upon former President Donald J. Trump a “national embarrassment.” According to Kelly — speaking in a blunt, no-holds-barred critique — the award reeks of vanity and misplaced priorities at a time when many Americans struggle just to put food on the table.
At the center of the fury is the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, handed to Trump during the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, D.C. by FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The organization hailed the gesture as recognition for Trump’s “actions to advance peace and global unity.”
But for Kelly, the ceremony — complete with a gold medal, trophy, and what critics have described as grandiose, reality-show-style pageantry — exposed a disconnect between the sports world’s theatrics and the real struggles of everyday people. He reportedly dismissed the award as nothing more than a “PR stunt” and accused FIFA of “inventing awards for narcissistic arseholes.”
> “While Americans are scrambling to afford groceries,” Kelly said, “they’re busy handing out peace prizes like participation trophies — to men who call themselves saviors. It’s shameful.”
His words sent shockwaves across social media, where citizens from different walks of life weighed in — many echoing the sentiment that the award trivializes genuine efforts at diplomacy and undermines trust in institutions that are supposed to represent global unity.

## Why Critics Are So Angry
* **Lack of transparency** — FIFA has not disclosed how recipients are selected, prompting serious questions about the legitimacy of the Peace Prize. ([Wikipedia][2])
* **Questionable “peace record”** — While FIFA praised Trump for purportedly brokering ceasefires and settling conflicts, many of these claims remain disputed or unsupported by independent verification.
* **Perception of self-aggrandizement over substance** — For many observers, the entire spectacle felt more like a spectacle for ego — of both Trump and FIFA leadership — than a genuine celebration of peace.
## Wider Fallout: Trust in Institutions and Priorities Under Fire
Kelly’s denunciation taps into a broader unease among citizens and commentators: can an institution with a history of controversy about fairness and governance credibly confer a “peace prize”? Especially at a moment when millions face economic hardship?
Some critics argue that the spectacle only deepens cynicism — suggesting that global awards and honors are increasingly used not to acknowledge real positive change, but to generate headlines, boost personal brands, or curry favor. As one social media user put it: this isn’t recognition of actual peace work, but “flattery masquerading as virtue.”
For a country grappling with inflation, rising food prices, and economic inequality, the optics of such an award could not be worse. That disconnect — between global grandeur and domestic struggle — may prove even more damaging than the initial scandal itself.

## What’s Next
With the backlash growing, pressure may mount on FIFA and its leadership to justify the Peace Prize’s legitimacy, clarify its selection process, or possibly reconsider its future. Meanwhile, for American lawmakers like Kelly, this may become a rallying point to shift focus away from spectacle and back to pressing social and economic issues at home.
Whether the moment leads to real reform — or becomes yet another footnote in the ongoing saga of performative politics — remains to be seen.
