Donald Trump received the honor from FIFA president Gianni Infantino, inaugurating an annual tradition of the “peace prize”. The president was given a golden trophy and a medal at the event. The moment became the target of Seth Meyers’ jokes.
“Donald Trump won a fake peace prize from FIFA and said we should change the name of American football because ‘soccer’ is the real football,” he began before the Closer Look segment.
He referred to the incident as “something that would have made Donald Trump furious if anyone other than Donald Trump had said it.”
Seth Meyers said that Trump had always been “desperate his whole life for human connection” and also “for big, shiny awards.”

Meanwhile, he showed various moments of the president bragging about winning an award.
“In his former life as a game show host, he was obsessed with the fact that he had never won an Emmy,” Seth Meyers recalled, showing a clip from season 14 of The Celebrity Apprentice.
He also mentioned the moment when Trump walked toward the stage because he believed he would receive an Emmy, even before the winner had been announced.
“If I stood up and started walking to receive an Emmy I didn’t win, I wouldn’t stop walking until I submerged myself in the Pacific Ocean,” the comedian joked.
