A running list of The totally real, not at all fake awards Donald Trump has received

What a sad, strange, tiny handed little man.

"It’s no secret what makes President [Donald Trump](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump) happy: [Big Macs](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-mcdonalds-menu_n_691beac9e4b085766d7eb3cb), [hours in front of the TV](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-television-eight-hours_n_5a2c273fe4b069ec48add6d7), “[Les Misérables](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-les-miserables-protest_n_6849faf0e4b03de6beafe896),” [golf](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-golf-300-million_n_69271f3ce4b00aca68d3d689) and [parades](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-military-parade_n_684e145ee4b0417963bbc79b)." "But if there’s one thing people hoping to curry favor with the president seem to have picked up on in his second term, it’s that he really likes awards, trophies and medals. Maybe it was his very public yearning for the Nobel Peace Prize that tipped them off." ""In a [widely mocked](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/new-award-donald-trump-reaction_n_69c4cb1de4b0e447525c3260) presentation this week, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) laid it on thick while presenting Trump with a prize no one had ever heard of before: The “America First Award.” “The president has done so much for the American people, and we want to honor him in some small way, some token of our appreciation for his leadership,” Johnson said at the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser." "In December, amid Trump’s grumbling over losing out on the Nobel Peace Prize, FIFA President Gianni Infantino awarded him the first-ever “[FIFA Peace Prize](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fifa-peace-prize-donald-trump_n_69331b65e4b06a47b6d3ccd9)” ― something the [scandal-plagued](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/world-cup-grift_n_5b50d27ae4b0de86f48af069) [sports body](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/oct/08/football-corruption-and-the-remarkable-road-to-qatar-world-cup) had only created a month earlier" "The prize comes ahead of the U.S. hosting 11 World Cup games this summer. FIFA is [reportedly](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7138400/2026/03/25/world-cup-fifa-senegal-bonds-algeria-visa/) hoping Trump will allow players, coaches and support staff from various countries to bypass his policy requiring a tourist visa costing up to $15,000 to enter the U.S." "Last month, the D.C.-based industry group Washington Coal Club declared Trump the “[Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-coal-award-statue_n_698d8499e4b0967ff003f9dc?d_id=11500056&ncid_tag=tweetlnkushpmg00000067&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=us_main)” ― another award no one’s ever received until now." "Trump openly lusted after the Nobel Peace Prize and was just as openly miffed in October when it instead went to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who immediately dedicated her award to Trump, [praising him](https://x.com/MariaCorinaYA/status/1976642376119549990) for “his decisive support of our cause.” "But that didn’t satisfy him. A couple months later, he was [caught on a hot mic](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-complains-nobel-peace-prize-hot-mic_n_695404e4e4b01b40d0055ff3) complaining to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the prize going to Machado, even though he credits himself with ending eight international conflicts." "Around two weeks later, Machado took her flattery a step further and [gave her medal to Trump](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-nobel-prize-maria-corina-machado_n_69696264e4b00edae2a418cc), who happily accepted it." “María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect,” he beamed on [Truth Social](https://www.huffpost.com/topic/truth-social)." "Trump didn’t get a trophy this time, but he did get the framed Nobel medal with his name in large font above it." "The “Architect of Peace Award” is a real prize that’s been given out by the Richard Nixon Foundation since 1995 whenever the board thinks someone’s deserving of it." "Trump was honored with the award in October, with the board’s chairman praising him for his “America First foreign policy” and “peace-through-strength philosophy.” The board also praised him for brokering the “momentous Gaza Peace Deal” ― a cease-fire that quickly faltered." "It’s pretty much always given to [Republicans](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/republican-party), including some of America’s most famous war hawks: Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Vice President D*** Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld." "While Trump was running for president in 2024, Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) presented him with an award to recognize that he’d dropped some french fries into the deep fryer and served food as part of a campaign stunt at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s days earlier." “I know that you perfected your skills behind the counter a day or so ago,” Edwards, who’s owned McDonald’s franchise locations, said to the president. “And it was my honor to present President Trump with the ‘French Fries Certification Pin.’” "Trump held up the award ― an enamel button of a box of fries attached to Edwards’ business cards ― while speaking with Edwards in front of rubble from Hurricane Helene." "Since at least 2016, Trump has been telling audiences he was once named Michigan’s “man of the year.” Other times, he’s claimed the title was Michigan’s “Republican of the Year.” "There’s no evidence of Trump receiving this award, which doesn’t seem to even exist." "HuffPost [investigated](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-michigan-man-of-year_n_5820a413e4b0aac62485af81) the claim when he first made it and couldn’t find any record of him receiving the honor. But he continued to peddle the story for years, prompting Michigan’s former GOP Rep. Dave Trott to [speculate](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-michigan-man-of-the-year-dave-trott-gettysburg-address_n_5d574ae8e4b0eb875f23df76) in 2019 that Trump may be thinking of a 2013 event where he presented Trump with a tie, a statuette of Abraham Lincoln and a framed copy of the Gettysburg Address ― but no “man of the year” award."

Participation trophies

I would like to award him the “Least likely to ever experience a single consequence” Lifetime Achievement Award. Or even “Most humble man to ever exist” 🤪

Hope he wins a posthumous award soon.

Starting to understand why despots are always decorated with tons of medals and awards [like this](https://share.google/images/5YVNLWcqnCzBpAtMZ)

ok they forgot to mention the Club World Cup he stole at the final match.

I'm "The Musical President". Next stop, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I’m looking forward to the largest celebration ever seen around the world, on news of his death.

They forgot to include the Second Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence…

For real president, getting elected is the start of the real work! For unreal president its the end goal, where you receive medal, glory/shame, and jail free card.

I don’t see the time he won the kumite on there,bogus

It’s almost like he knows he won’t get any “real” awards after his tenure…. Hmmmm. 🤔

the only award he should win is for Best Reality Show in a Political Comedy—because this circus is just pure entertainment! 😂
