Barred Somali referee awarded Nobel Peace Prize just to annoy Trump

Just to annoy Donald Trump, Somali referee Omar Artan has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after he was barred from entering the United States.

Artan, who was denied entry into the US despite having a valid travel visa, was awarded the prestigious prize four months early by the Nobel Committee, with the official reasoning being ‘just to fuck with Trump’.

“We did it purely to see the look on his face,” said Simon Williams, member of the Nobel Committee. 

“No one seemed to care that there might’ve been other more deserving candidates. We knew this would piss Trump off the most, so we decided to go with it. We can always make up a reason why Omar Artan got the award later on. We’ll just say he gives loads of money to charity or dedicates his life to saving the polar bears. Some shite like that.

“Let’s make sure to spread the photos of Artan holding the medal as much as we can. I want those images absolutely everywhere. Hey, maybe we could get a statue of Artan put up outside the White House? You know, like the statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands that they made. That would be perfect.

“Oh well. Trump shouldn’t be too upset. He’ll always have his little FIFA Peace Prize to lift his spirits. It’s just a shame he’ll never be a Nobel winner, though.”
