Jon Stewart Imagines How FIFA Designed Trump's Prize — And You Can't Unsee It
HuffPost
The "Daily Show" host has a feel for how FIFA decided to "satisfy some fragile egomaniac."
“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart on Monday mocked FIFA for making a prize “specifically created to appease” President Donald Trump.
“The FIFA ‘Appease’ Prize,” quipped Stewart after the sports organization awarded Trump its first-ever FIFA Peace Prize, a move that had critics fuming last week.
Stewart played a clip of FIFA President Gianni Infantino presenting Trump with a golden trophy featuring multiple hands holding up a globe ― and a gold medal. The moment received a resounding boo from the “Daily Show” crowd.
Stewart encouraged the audience to take a “good look” at the trophy and teased that “its design somewhat reflects, in all likelihood, how it was conceived.”
Then, he imagined out loud how FIFA officials arrived at the trophy’s design.
