Joe Mitchell presents Trump with Man of the Century award
During a campaign rally at Sioux Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa, Republican congressional candidate Joe Mitchell presented Donald Trump with a self-created “Man of the Century Award.” Mitchell, the GOP nominee for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District, handed the president a gold-framed certificate, stating that Trump had done more for humanity and America than any other president.
Mitchell used the moment to criticize the Nobel Committee, calling it a “disgrace” that Trump has not been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The presentation occurred during a midterm campaign swing aimed at boosting Republican candidates ahead of Election Day. Mitchell, a 29-year-old former state representative, is currently competing against Democratic state Representative Lindsay James for the seat.
Observers and social media critics noted the homemade nature of the award, with some characterizing the gesture as a parody of participation awards. The event follows previous instances of Trump receiving various accolades, including the “FIFA Peace Prize” from Gianni Infantino.
