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.
He did swipe that medal though
totally
This may be a distraction, so just remember: Trump wants us to forget about the Epstein files, which had just been on Pam Bondi’s desk.
A Pedophile, A Felon, and A Thief
We can remember more than one thing
He stole the gold cup because they don't give any for being the number one pedophile.
All in one sentence.
A pedophile, a felon and a thief walk into a bar.
"Just the usual Diet Coke, sir?"
You forgot civilly convicted rapist.
We can, but the average voter? Ehhhhh.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
Did anybody honestly believe that the Trump administration would release their own incriminating evidence about Epstein? We all know Trump went to that island multiple times, raped underaged girls, and then when Epstein was caught, told his lackey Billy Barr to get rid of them, who then ordered guards in the prison to murder Epstein.
The Trump admin would never admit to any of that, no matter how many times we're going to point to some sliver on a video and say "GOT EM!"
Some of MAGA believed.
it's a distraction from the distraction, IMO
the cuts to social spending due to the BBB is what it should be actually about.
Wasn't there a story where Putin stole a Superbowl ring? Little Donny just wants to be like his daddy.
That was Putin, which makes this look like another instance of TACO Don following in a dictator's footsteps.
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.
only the 1% of supporters know the sport exists. So he can tell them he made all the best teams in the world come to his country and he will host their little tournament
Apparently the tournament game was in NJ
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.
Does he still fuck Ivanka, or has he moved on to his granddaughter?
I've heard FIFA is no stranger to engaging in world-class levels of corruption. This is just the corrupt eating their own.
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.
Nobody will want to re-use him, he's more a Wegwerfpapagei.
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.
Shiezekopff
Fuck FIFA, Fuck Trump. I see no loss here except one of braincells.
What is it with these fucks that they keep thinking Trump will play ball with them when he's screwed over so many others?
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
🤣 that reminds me of when Putin stole a Super Bowl ring from Robert Kraft. Seems about right Trump has always wanted to be like Putin. What a loser 😂
a distraction from the epstein files, some of the grifters are already instructed to say "we dont care about the files anymore"
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.
That sounds like a bribe
What a knob
He’s worse than a jaguar owner
Mine! Mine! Mine!
