Yes, but the implication of "given the medal to look at" and "pocketing FIFA medal" is that Trump "stole" it or wasn't supposed to keep it, which I haven't seen supported by a credible source yet.

Edit: regarding your own edit (adding the second image), I found no information at the linked source supporting the sentence as presented.

    Historically. Do they give those medals to other country leaders or nonplayers.

    Find that answer and the truth will be yours

    Also nobody asking why the fuck he would be gifted a medal in the first place? Medals typically have meaning behind them. They represent achievement. What the fuck did Trump do to earn that medal, other than show up to the ceremony?

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised, he's been getting gifted medals from stupid fucking morons for doing fuck all for the past 10 goddamn years. Of course he would think that being handed a medal to look at is the same thing as being presented with one to keep.

    He's a thief, through and through.

    Trump is a convicted felon, promoted beans at the resolute desk, received millions of dollars in inauguration fundraising from big tech, has his own cryptocurrency which he promoted by promising presidential access, and is being called a madman by economists for the least stable US economic policy since Bretton Woods.

    Trump is not like "other country leaders". Historically the above would be disqualifying for "other country leaders". You can't cover news about him like "other country leaders". I almost can't believe that you're saying that you can.

    This is the complete most idiotic, moronic and stupid argument ever presented in my like 20 years of being a dumbass arguing on the Internet.

    Donald Trump is different so he didn't steal the medal.

    This is your argument.

    No. He stole the fucking medal and the other guy understood all of what you're saying, decided it isn't worth it and moved on.

    But he stole the medal.
