Washington, DC – Inside the Kennedy Center, FIFA President Gianni Infantino was hanging a gold metal around the neck of his “close friend” Donald Trump and giving him a hefty golden peace trophy.

“The FIFA Peace Prize is awarded annually,” Infantino said of the new award nobody has ever won before from his supposedly apolitical organization. The pair were at the landmark arts venue for a floor show–like event before officials drew brackets of teams to play this summer’s World Cup tournament, to be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. FIFA took over the building for free and displaced scheduled National Symphony Orchestra concerts, according to The Washington Post; it closed down nearby streets for multiple blocks and forced drivers into inconvenient detours.
