Holy shit, he refused to give back the original trophy, stole a medal and then ruined the celebration. These are the hallmarks of a fricking 4 year old at someone else’s birthday party!
Trump stole Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the Winners a Replica
FTFY
You didn’t fix it. According to the article, FIFA let Trump keep the trophy and gave players the replica.
According to Trump* FIFA said he could keep it.
Until Gianni Infantino comes out and confirms that, I don’t believe it for a second.
There was a different article in a different thread earlier today where Gianni did state that they gave it to him, not that he kept it.
Wasn’t there a story where Putin stole a Superbowl ring? Little Donny just wants to be like his daddy.
Why the fuck are we paying this stupid bastard to go watch soccer?
Because conservatives identify with felons and rapists and wanted to make one president of the United States.
His voters identify with “Team MAGA” as they would with a sports team. They would never think about it the way you do, for them this is politics.
I’ve heard FIFA is no stranger to engaging in world-class levels of corruption. This is just the corrupt eating their own.
Felon.
Rapist.
Thief.
I mean he stole classified documents and refused to return them so his home was raided.
No one should be any degree of shocked by this.
It’s not like he raped a thirteen year old and got away with it.
I mean. Not exactly like that.
Fuck FIFA, Fuck Trump. I see no loss here except one of braincells.
Theirs a good German word for how this makes me feel: Fremdschämen.
I have a good German word for Trump in general: Verbesserungsbedürftig.
He is beyond repair. Pfandflasche.
I stopped feeling this way about him sometime in 2017.
BTW the English term would be “vicarious embarassment” which is way too long, but the Finnish word is “myötähäpeä” which is even nicer than Fremdscham. Fight me.

It has a 24-carat gold-plated finish and is thought to have cost around $230,000 to make.
Now, imagine you go to a FIFA play without a ticket.
Edit: According to Trump, that was a present from FIFAs President Gianni Infantino.
The FIFA boss has been in Washington, D.C., 10 times since Donald Trump returned to office in January, in an attempt to woo the president. He has previously argued that proximity to the president is “absolutely crucial” to the success of the 2026 World Cup, which will be partly hosted in the U.S
This is all it says in the article:
“They [FIFA] said: ‘Could you hold this trophy for a little while?’ We put it in the Oval Office and then I said: ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy’, and [FIFA President Gianni Infantino] said: ‘We’re never going to pick it up, you can have it forever in the Oval Office,’” Trump explained in a mid-game chat with the broadcaster, DAZN.
Well there you go, Trump himself told us what happened. We can all go home.
That sounds highly probable. Especially the part where they said he can have it forever in the Oval Office. Case closed everyone!
But only in the oval office. Otherwise you can’t hear… Uh, the crowd in your mind… Yeah.
What a knob
Mine! Mine! Mine!
He’s worse than a jaguar owner
