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!

    Yet another reminder that the President of the United States is profoundly mentally ill and undeniably unfit for office.

    Stole their trophy and stole their valor for the win when he didn’t dismiss him self at their photo op.

    Probably the only time he’s ever been part of a celebration

    I’d refuse a replica. . It should not have left the winners unless they themselves lend it out. So i’d even refuse the original if it wasn’t returned in three days or less.

      Well the issue is they gave the actual trophy to Trump in March. It has been sitting in the Whitehouse since. Even if Trump lied about asking when they were coming to pick it up, the Whitehouse isn’t someplace you just leave an object for a little while. First I imagine the secret service would want to review the device wasn’t bugged being in the oval office… Second you can’t just drop by to pick something up from there easily. Scheduling all that shit would be more annoyance than just making 2 up front probably.

      Note: Trump did remove historical artifacts sent by Israel from the White House and move them to Mar-A-Lago, so I don’t believe that this will end up in the National Archives like the article stated, it will end up as his property.

        Come to think of it, I wouldn’t rule it out that it IS bugged and Trump forbade the USSS from checking like he did with the unsecure phone he insisted on using for tweeting through most if his first infestation of the place 😮‍💨

    Sure seems like FIFA is proving that Saudi buying out floors of Trump hotels makes a big difference. Open corruption being allowed was always going to result in someone turning it into a sport.

      That and Infantino is pretty much the Swiss Trump.

      He makes his predecessor Sepp Blatter (who was so corrupt that FIFA very publicly banned him from all football activities for 8 years, quietly reduced it by two years, and then added a further six years when they discovered even MORE corruption) look like Keanu Reeves!

      I first saw a gif of it and assumed it was just to hold before a speech, because I forgot there is no bar anymore.

    For anyone still wondering where the bottom is, this should convince you there isn’t one. A narcissist’s ego is a black hole.

        This is how I found out that Chelsea won. This is how I knew the whole event was over. I didn’t watch any of it, I don’t think I even saw any highlights.

        I just hope that the whole thing dies. It’s an abomination. The players need a time to rest between seasons. But, FIFA is using it as a way to generate more money and maybe even a sneaky way to create the long-dreaded superleague.

      It won’t.

      Everyone knows FIFA is corrupt as shit and them buddying up to a corrupt dictator is just a regular weekday.

      Chelsea fans might get upset at having a replica but non-Chelsea fans will just take the piss out of this fact.

    There’s nothing in the article to give the trophy back. The only thing in there is his quote saying that they asked him to put it in the Oval Office for a while and then when he asked when they want it back they told him to hang onto it.

    Infantino and Trump are made to be BFFs. Not only is Infantino’s name on the trophy TWICE (which is almost three times too many), but he also insisted on THIS bullshit:
