Political analysts and observers bashed President Donald Trump on Monday after he accepted a "fake award" from a foreign leader at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago.
Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to discuss the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and other topics. During a press conference after the meeting, Netanyahu said he would award Trump the "Israel Prize," regarded as the country's highest cultural honor.
Trump said the award is "surprising and very much appreciated."....
"For those who care to know: This prize is generally awarded to Israeli citizens only, and in exceptional cases it can be awarded to non-Israelis who have held Israeli residency for many years," military veteran Evaristus Odinikaeze posted on X. "Trump did not meet that criteria but let’s say they’re making an exception to pacify him."
