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.

    And a thief, among other worse things but definitely a thief.

    Rapist is probably worse than a thief. Pedophile is arguably worse than a rapist. Not sure where to slot traitor in there.

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

    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'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 of his first infestation of the place 😮‍💨

    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

    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:

  • [–] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Is that really his name? Infantino? Like "infant," but with the diminutive -ino, making it more like "little infant"?

    At first I thought that was a new nickname for Trump.

    I had to have a double take to check that TheDailyBeast hadn't become a satire news outlet.

    Anyone else saw how he had to be ushered to the back of the crowd during the trophy presentation? He really believed the cheers were for him.

    I worked for a university lab and a professor in the department stole my white elephant gift because he liked it. How can you get to such a high level and be so low innately.

    Clearly he'd be better suited for less professional environment, like President of the United States of America, or perhaps a Supreme Court seat that can be bought with free vacation vouchers

    Clearly, he didn't recognize that they weren't giving him the awards.

    Edit: Oh, wait. FIFA did give him the trophy.

    This is all the article says about giving it back: “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 Chelsea is owned by an American now, so everything they win is at least partly owned by the American government. It's basic tax law!

    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.

    Did he also comment that this isn't real football and that football is played with the hand?
