congratulate

"If they celebrate after the second match I will congratulate them but now calm down because it's not over."

“But it was cool to be able to be here in person and get congratulated by him and some teammates that were here.”

On multiple occasions, Trump congratulated himself for the sudden drop in illegal border crossings since he took office.

“He was toasted and congratulated at a staff meeting. He beamed proudly. The regulations were perfect. No one could understand them.”

It wasn’t a perfect playback of something that’s not really happening, and I got congratulated for making a human error on a live stage.
