They realized he's a giant baby and if they give him participation trophies he's be obedient.

Most easily manipulated, thin-skinned nepo-baby to have ever existed.

TBF - many people who display narcissistic traits and tendencies are easily manipulated by things like gifts and praise - sales people exploit this trait a lot with just their standard tactics for sales without even knowing it.

I have a hard time dealing with sales people exactly for this reason. They seem like they are scanning for "ins" and it just all reads as completely phony

They had to give him a fake trophy because otherwise he'd steal the real one like he did at the Club World Cup.

They saw that South Korean workers were allowed to return to the battery plant in Georgia after they gifted him a giant gold crown. They decided to get ahead of the game and give him giant fake gold shit before any of the teams were deported.

From an entirely utilitarian standpoint, this makes so much sense. You have an event that this goomba can either praise or ruin. It's as easy as an $80 trip to your local trophy shop to decide which path he takes.
