Trump Kept Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the Winners a Replica

Trump took every opportunity to make the new, expanded soccer tournament all about himself.

“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.

WTF!!!
 
“The FIFA Club World Cup trophy is currently in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump revealed”

In fairness, it is Trump saying so it may or may not be true.

On a side note, this reminds of the story of Putin stealing Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl ring.

Trump lied.

He stole that trophy and needs to be charged.
 
Not the first time Traitor Trump dishonestly associated himself with some form of success.

FIFA tend to make duplicates of trophies - there's a guy who is kind of my brother in law and works in Zurich for FIFA and let me hold the duplicate of this one when we went to visit him in 2014. Sepp Blatter apparently used to keep another duplicate in his office.

As for Trump keeping hold.. I'm not so sure. I'll check tonight and see what my partner's sister says.

They gave the replica to the winning team. Trump got the original...

From the article:
It has since been revealed that the intricate prize hoisted aloft by the London club’s captain, Reece James, was a replica because the president of football’s governing body, FIFA, has let Trump use the original as an ornament in the Oval Office.
And the original cost over 1/4 million to make!
It has a 24-carat gold-plated finish and is thought to have cost around $230,000 to make.

I don't understand how I am constantly surprised by sh*t like this but I am. I thought it was an onion article or somesuch at first, but no....

That's hilarious. You see Infantino invite TACO off stage. TACO ignores him, Infantino goes back to usher him off...and still gets ignored.

More dementia evidence.

This is the era of everyone gets a trophy, Trump got his.
 
He probably tells visitors he won it.

Things are making LESS sense all the time with "information" surrounding Donald. NOTHING is rational in Trump world .
 
It's kind of funny how Trump's popularity at these events really, really gets under the left's skin... He goes to these big events, and the crowds love him and cheer him. Biden couldn't go, he got "Let's Go Brandon", LOL!

Donald knows how to "work a crowd".......just the same as a cult leader (In a very simple minded repetitive way using silly slogans that are easy for his followers to grasp ), The followers enthusiastically cheer him on (and happily chant his simplistic slogans .........which is a form of self hypnosis )

Trump is also way more sexy than Biden. I'm not gay but...
 
It's so shiny! And TACO did nothing to earn it. How could he resist?
