"I find it a little comical, she said. In a week where we've talked about possible war crimes, where we have seen Donald Trump pardon an actual drug kingpin former president of Honduras who flooded the United States with 400 tons of cocaine, I would say that the FIFA World Cup president, Gianni Infantino, sucking up to him is really low on my rung of outrageous."
"Little kids love to play with their parents' phone, Navarro continued. So Fisher-Price makes this phone, which is like, you know, it's got all these badges that kids can press. It's a fake phone. And so Gianni Infantino said, Ok, how can I possibly flatter Donald Trump? Let me give him a fabricated peace medal, make it gold at the Kennedy Center, and let's have the Village People play.'"
President Donald Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize at the Kennedy Center, presented with a gold trophy and a medal while FIFA did not explain the selection process. The award is described as recognizing exceptional actions for peace and unity. CNN commentator Ana Navarro criticized the honor as a flattering, contrived gesture, comparing the prize to a Fisher-Price toy phone and accusing FIFA president Gianni Infantino of excessive flattery. Navarro referenced Trump's threats to move World Cup matches in Democratic-run cities, his baseless claims about ending wars, and his pardon of a former Honduran president accused of major drug trafficking.
