NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In a recent episode, Fox NewsJesse Watters stunned his co-hosts and viewers by arguing that President Donald Trump’s resurgence on the global stage amounts to evidence that God exists.

Watters launched an unusual monologue, asserting that Trump’s naked thirst for opulence is proof of God’s existence.

On Friday’s episode of 'The Five,' Watters offered a wild theological theory arguing, “It’s almost like God gave us COVID to kick Trump out so he could reemerge again, and oversee this wonderful four years of birthday parties, international sporting events, and octagon. If you doubted there was a God, this is evidence there is God.”

The segment highlighted Trump being awarded FIFA’s inaugural “peace prize,” which he received on Friday from FIFA president Gianni Infantino at the Kennedy Center.

According to Watters, God killing 7.1 million people from COVID-19 was worth it so that Trump could preside over the US’s hosting of the 2026 World Cup and Los Angeles’ hosting of the 2028 Olympics

It was also worth it so that Trump could build a UFC octagon on the White House lawn and host lavish parties.

Following his monologues, the co-hosts were left stunned in silence until Gutfeld burst into laughter.

Watters, who is known for often calling the president ‘daddy’, may have been trying to provoke his more liberal co-hosts with the odd tangent. 

As his fellow panelists, Greg Gutfeld and Gillian Turner, argued about whether Trump deserved a “peace” honor from a soccer organization, Watters acknowledged that the “peace prize” amounted to FIFA President Gianni Infantino “kissing Trump’s butt.”

FIFA's new peace prize appears tailor-made for Donald Trump

FIFA’s peace prize did not exist until recently, after this year's Nobel Peace Prize went to María Corina Machado, an opposition leader to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro

When Trump missed the prize he wasn't eligible for, his aide, Infantino, announced the inaugural “FIFA Peace Prize—Football Unites the World.”

He claimed the award would honor those who “end conflicts and bring people together.” 

For much of his second term, Trump boasted about ending between six and nine wars, though experts have been skeptical about the president’s success and level of involvement in ending some of the conflicts he takes credit for.

Although Infantino and Trump pretended not to know who would receive the brand-new honor, it was apparent that Trump would ultimately get to hold up a medal at the Kennedy Center at the World Cup draw on December 5.
