Donald Trump may not have won a Nobel peace prize, but last weekend he was at least given something: the inaugural Fifa peace prize<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>Fifa prize\u2019s existence was announced<\/a> remarkably soon after the Nobel went to Venezuelan opposition leader, Mar\u00eda Corina Machado<\/a>. Gianni Infantino, the controversial Fifa president, has been toadying to Trump for years, so after he introduced the prize \u2013 in response to zero demand \u2013 it was little surprise that Trump got the trophy.<\/p>\n

Handing the terrifying-looking award<\/a> to Trump, during an event which was supposed to be about drawing teams for the World Cup, Infantino said the prize is given to a \u201cdistinguished individual who exemplifies an unwavering commitment to advancing peace and unity throughout the world through their notable leadership and action\u201d.<\/p>\n

Quite. And just three days after receiving the award, there was an opportunity for Trump to show off that commitment to peace and unity when he sat down for an interview with Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of doing that, Trump immediately demonstrated why many felt he was an unusual choice for a peace prize, as the president praised an autocrat, said Europe should \u201csend back\u201d asylum seekers to Congo, and compared the president of Ukraine to a 19th century conman.<\/p>\n

Along the way Trump, 79, exhibited the same unusual patterns of speaking that has led some to believe he is slowing down, confusing Crimea\u2019s geography and talking about his \u201ceyes\u201d and \u201cears\u201d in a manner unlikely to convince his critics that he is on top of his game.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/svg>I have eyes. I have ears. I have, er, knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Asked if he might wade into European elections, Trump noted that he had endorsed Viktor Orb\u00e1n, the Hungarian president and autocrat, and pointed to his relationship with Javier Milei, the right-wing president of Argentina.<\/p>\n

\u201cI endorsed uh … go back to South America, Latin America, South America, uh, Milei, Argentina. He was losing in the election, and I endorsed him and he won in a landslide,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Trump endorsed Milei in October<\/a>, and Milei\u2019s party did indeed win Argentina\u2019s midterm elections later that month, although the win fell short of giving him a congressional majority.<\/p>\n

Trump also lamented that Europe was allowing \u201ctremendous numbers of people\u201d to come from \u201cprisons of the Congo\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to be politically correct, and they don\u2019t want to send \u2018em back to where they came from,\u201d Trump said of Congolese people, many of whom are fleeing from war and violence at home. It wasn\u2019t the first time this month that Trump has addressed the issue of African emigration: at a cabinet meeting he previously stated that Somalia \u201cstinks\u201d and declared Somali immigrants to be \u201cgarbage\u201d<\/a>. In a speech yesterday, he once again made false and racist claims<\/a> about Ilhan Omar and Somalia.<\/p>\n

There was more to come in the Politico interview, as the peace prize winner launched an unprompted attack on Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London. \u201cHe\u2019s a horrible mayor. He\u2019s an incompetent mayor, but he\u2019s a horrible, vicious, disgusting mayor,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Regarding European politics Trump, who is the oldest person ever to be inaugurated president, added this:<\/p>\n

\u201cI do explain to Europe because I think, you know, I\u2019m supposed to be a very smart person, I can, I have eyes. I have ears. I have, er, knowledge. I have vast knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump then discussed Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, and showed his age somewhat with one of his references.<\/p>\n
